Something in this burns and irritates my skin. I'm guessing it is the papaya extract, one of the first ingredients. I don't hate the coconut scent, but it is quite strong. I have been using it in my hair as a restyling product, and I must say that it seems to work very well. Not sticky and a little goes a long way. As for being a face toner, I cannot recommend for sensitive skin or those sensitive to strong, fragranced face products.
