How it works
Eggplant Daily BHA Toner 205ml is a toner built on Butylene Glycol, a humectant and solvent carrying the formula's actives, named 5 of 22 entries on Bonajour's own manufacturer INCI for this formula. Solanum Melongena (Eggplant) Fruit Extract (84.43%) sits further down the same list, a supporting entry rather than a second headline, and the rest rounds out a Bonajour formula built for this format. It takes the first step after cleansing, and the toner format is the reason it behaves the way it does once it is on skin. A toner in this format is a thin liquid meant to sit on skin briefly and prep it for the layers that follow, not a step meant to linger.
Key benefits
- Built on Butylene Glycol, a humectant and solvent carrying the formula's actives
- No parfum or fragrance ingredient on the list
- 205ml toner sold in Bonajour's Korean-market packaging, not a US-reformulated version
- Takes the first step after cleansing
- 22 ingredients on the manufacturer's own list, in the order Bonajour lists them
How to use
- Apply to clean skin with a cotton pad or the palms immediately after cleansing.
Is the Eggplant Daily BHA Toner 205ml sold here Bonajour's Korean-market formula?
Yes. What ships is Bonajour's release for the Korean market: the formula and packaging sold in Korea, with the Korean-market barcode and batch code intact on the box rather than swapped for an export or US-retail label.
Where does the Eggplant Daily BHA Toner 205ml go in a routine?
It takes the first step after cleansing. As a toner, its place in the sequence follows from its format rather than any brand-specific instruction beyond that. A toner in this format is a thin liquid meant to sit on skin briefly and prep it for the layers that follow, not a step meant to linger, which is also why it belongs at that point in the sequence rather than earlier or later.
What does Butylene Glycol do in this toner?
Butylene Glycol is A humectant and solvent carrying the formula's actives. It appears at position 5 of 22 on Bonajour's own manufacturer ingredient list for this formula, which is real evidence of what the formula is built around rather than a marketing label placed over it.
Does the Eggplant Daily BHA Toner 205ml contain fragrance?
No. Parfum and fragrance do not appear anywhere on the manufacturer's own ingredient list for this formula, which is one reason it reads as a shorter, calmer list than a heavily scented formula in the same category.
How does buying the Eggplant Daily BHA Toner 205ml here compare with a US retailer carrying the same name?
A US listing under the same product name can be a reformulated export version and rarely states which one it is selling. What we carry is the Korean-market Bonajour release, identified by its intact Korean barcode and batch code on the box rather than a relabeled export carton, so the unit you get matches what is sold on shelf in Korea.

Ingredient list read from inkeedecoder.com on 10 September 2026.
17 of 21 explained
- Solanum Melongena (Eggplant) Fruit Extract (84.43%) plant extract
- Eggplant Fruit Extract carries nasunin, the antioxidant pigment in aubergine skin. It is used as an antioxidant plant extract.
- Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract plant extract
- Willow Bark Extract carries salicin, the plant compound salicylic acid is related to. The two are not interchangeable: willow bark is a mild clarifying extract, not a BHA exfoliant at the levels used in cosmetics.
- 1,2-Hexanediol humectant
- 1,2-Hexanediol is a glycol used for two reasons: it holds water like glycerin, and it makes a formula harder for microbes to live in, so less traditional preservative is needed. Korean formulas use it heavily for that second reason.
- Butylene Glycol humectant
- Butylene Glycol is a small glycol that does two jobs at once: it holds water in the top layer of skin and it dissolves plant extracts and actives that plain water cannot. It also thins a formula, which is why watery Korean essences lean on it.
- Propanediol humectant
- Propanediol is a plant-derived glycol used in place of propylene glycol. It hydrates, carries actives into solution, and gives a lighter, less sticky slip than glycerin at the same strength.
- Vaccinium Angustifolium (Blueberry) Fruit Extract plant extract
- Lowbush blueberry fruit extract, high in anthocyanins. Berry extracts are used as plant antioxidants and can tint a formula.
- Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate active
- Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate is a water-soluble salt derived from licorice root. It is the licorice fraction Korean formulas use for the look of redness, and it is far more stable in water than the whole extract.
- Caprylhydroxamic Acid preservative booster
- A chelator that works by denying microbes the iron they need, which lets a formula hold at a skin-friendly pH with less conventional preservative.
- Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside surfactant
- Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside is a sugar-derived cleansing surfactant. It foams modestly and is mild enough for low-pH cleansers built for reactive skin.
- Cryptomeria Japonica Leaf Extract plant extract
- Cryptomeria Japonica is Japanese cedar. Its leaf extract is used as an aromatic antioxidant plant extract.
- Nelumbo Nucifera Leaf Extract plant extract
- Nelumbo Nucifera is the sacred lotus. Its leaf extract carries flavonoids and is used as a conditioning antioxidant extract.
- Saccharomyces Ferment ferment
- Saccharomyces Ferment is a brewer's yeast ferment. It supplies amino acids, sugars and B vitamins and is used as a conditioning, hydrating ferment.
5 more explained
- Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate surfactant
- An amino acid surfactant made from coconut fatty acids and glutamic acid. It cleanses at a mildly acidic pH and is among the gentler foaming surfactants.
- Glyceryl Caprylate emulsifier
- Glyceryl Caprylate is a mild emulsifier that also makes a formula less hospitable to microbes, so it is often part of a preservative-free system.
- Water solvent
- Water is the base almost every serum, toner and cream is built on. It dissolves the water-loving ingredients and sets how light the finished texture feels. On an INCI list it is usually first, which only means it is the largest single ingredient by weight.
- Arginine amino acid
- Arginine is an amino acid that does two jobs here: it holds water in the outer layer of skin, and it neutralises acidic gelling agents, which is why it often stands in for a synthetic pH adjuster.
- Citric Acid pH adjuster
- Citric Acid is used in tiny amounts to bring a formula to the pH its actives need, not as an exfoliant at that level. It is an AHA, so at much higher concentrations it can also exfoliate.
