I know what distilled water is, but I dont' think I can find it here (have searched in all the shops - maybe there is an irish word for it?). Can I use regular bottled water, like Evian? Or does that have too many minerals, etc. in it?
Love how the Floral concentrate smells. I absolutely LOVE sandlewood, so I cannot wait to try it out.
According to wiki, another word for "distilled water" is "purified water." I also wanted to point out that any time you're making a toner, you can always substitute aloe juice or a hydrosol for the water, if you have it on hand. I always make my toners with either aloe juice or organic aloe gel (which has a liquid consistency, it's different from the gels we find in drug stores).

Thank ChristineLynnP, using the aloe is actually a great idea! I didn't think about that at all. I think I might have some on hand! 
I found some distilled water as well. DH had to bring me some from his lab...not sure if a shop would sell it or not, but I do think I saw purified water somewhere....if I can remember which shop it was.... 
thanks!

SmartWater is a brand name product that is distilled water with electrolytes added to it.
I think Snapple has one called LyteWater that is similar.

Distilled water is also usually sold by the gallon in the baby section of most stores, or in the health section with the humidifiers and stuff like that.

Does anybody have the ingredient list for the Floral toner?
Do you think it would remain stable if I added some pure glycerin in it?
It's lovely and I've been spraying it over make-up, but I would need a bit more moisturasation. For base water I put bottled water with a tiny bit of aloe powder (less than the recommended ratio).

Ingredients Floral: Distilled Water, Sorbitol, hyaluronic acid, Sodium PCA, Gluconoactone and Sodium Benzoate, Panthenol, PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate, Fragrance (a blend of essential oils)
Ingredients Citrus: Distilled Water, Sorbitol, hyaluronic acid, Sodium PCA, Benzylalcohol, dehydroacetic acid, Panthenol, PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate, Fragrance (a blend of essential oils)
I can't see a problem with adding the glycerin.

Thank you Jen!
I'd like to see more of these concentrates in the future, especially moisturizing ones and a toner to fix/seal make-up! The foundation sits on smoother, feels and looks fresher when applied with the PRT
