I first heard of Ikkari's Tonics when a fellow Beauty Editor recommended them. She spoke of lucid dreams and a restful nights sleep thanks to their cult Deep Sleep Tonic. Now launched on site at Adore, I’ve given the rest of the range a proper road test.

These are not your average tinctures. They come in weighty glass bottles with mirrored labels that are equal parts apothecary and minimalist chic.

Formulated with clean ingredients, each tonic is tailored to support a specific functions: sleep, stress, detox and glow. But more than that, they speak to a broader shift happening in beauty right now; a holistic approach to wellness. Where how you feel is just as important as how you look.

The Ikkari Tonics range blends naturopathic principles with modern wellness sensibilities. Think bioavailable extracts, herbs and adaptogens formulated to work with your body’s natural systems.

They’re liquid supplements (not oils) that you take orally, either straight under the tongue or diluted into a little water. A few drops once or twice a day. It's nothing overly complex, just consistent well-formulated support that’s designed to build benefits over time.

A few drops before bed and the noise starts to dial down, imminently. The formula centres around California poppy (a gentle herbal sedative) and passionflower which helps to ease mental restlessness.

Magnesium glycinate adds extra support for nervous system relaxation - no grogginess, just a slow descent into proper sleep.

It’s perfect for the over-thinker or if you’re someone who scrolls into the early hours (read: me) this is your gentle off button. It doesn’t knock you out completely, but definitely accelerates the tiredness.

What: IKKARI Adrenal Support Tonic

Feeling burnt out? This one's for you.

A mix of adaptogens and nervines, the Adrenal Support Tonic is like a reset for a tired system. It features Siberian ginseng and schisandra - both known for balancing cortisol levels and improving the body's stress response - alongside licorice root, which helps sustain energy without the crash.

It doesn’t give you a jolt like caffeine, instead it 'steadies the internal noise'. A good pick for the afternoon slump or when you feel your system is stuck in fight-or-flight. This one tasted a little medicinal, but in that cherry cough-medicine kind of way - I personally enjoyed it. I paired it with my 3pm diet coke - because life is all about balance, right?!

What: IKKARI Detox Support Tonic

Detox is a loaded word. But here, it’s more about supporting the organs that do the heavy lifting - liver, kidneys, lymph.

This tonic features milk thistle, globe artichoke and dandelion root; a trio of herbs with centuries of use behind them. They're known for promoting bile flow, aiding digestion and helping the liver process toxins more efficiently.

Ideal for post-party recovery or when your skin starts showing signs of internal stress (think: breakouts, dullness, puffiness). It’s not about quick fixes, it’s all about gentle, daily support that keeps everything moving.

This one is right up my alley. Taking an inside-out approach to beauty and skin health, the Radiance Tonic suggests improved clarity and a brighter complexion.

The formula includes astaxanthin, a powerful antioxidant that’s trending for good reason—it’s 6,000 times stronger than vitamin C. There’s also zinc for skin repair, burdock for blood purification and shatavari (an Ayurvedic root) known for its hormonal balancing effect.

Best for those whose skin looks tired no matter what serum they use. If your glow has gone missing, this brings it back from the inside out.
