For too long, face mists have been dismissed as bougie water bottles for the skincare-obsessed. But when done right? A facial mist becomes a hard-working treatment step, not just a “feels nice” moment.
Enter: Wild Rose Mist — our cult favourite and a staple in every skin ritual we build. This botanical blend doesn’t just hydrate — it educates your skin on how to behave better.
Let’s Talk Formulation
We don’t believe in petals floating in water and calling it skincare. Every ingredient in Wild Rose Mist serves a distinct, evidence-based role — chosen to strengthen, soothe, and rehydrate the skin.
Water (Aqua)
The base of most mists, but not just filler. Water acts as a solvent — it helps dissolve and deliver other active ingredients evenly across the skin.
Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Extract
A natural astringent with anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. Witch hazel can help tighten the appearance of pores, calm minor irritation, and control excess oil — especially useful in hot or humid climates (looking at you, Queensland summers).
Note: We use extract, not the old-school witch hazel distillate high in alcohol — meaning less drying, more soothing.
Alcohol Denat. (Denatured Alcohol)
This one gets a bad rap, but let’s talk facts. It’s used here to:
-
Help active ingredients penetrate deeper
-
Preserve the formula
-
Give that fresh, fast-drying feel
It can be drying if used in high concentrations without counterbalancing ingredients. But in Wild Rose Mist, it’s paired with glycerin, cucumber extract, bisabolol and lipids — so your skin stays calm and quenched, not tight or stripped.
Glycerin
A humectant powerhouse. Glycerin draws moisture into the skin and helps maintain hydration. It’s one of the OG skin barrier heroes, and it's here to keep your skin juicy and resilient.
Butylene Glycol
Another humectant, but also a slip-enhancer. It improves skin texture, helps ingredients penetrate more deeply, and adds that silky glide to the mist — no sticky residue, no shine.
Cucumber Extract (Cucumis Sativus)
Cooling, soothing, anti-inflammatory. Cucumber extract reduces puffiness, calms sensitivity, and brings in antioxidants like vitamin C and caffeic acid. Think: mini spa moment in every spritz.
PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil
This is an emulsifier — it keeps the essential oils evenly dispersed in the water-based formula so you don’t end up with floating oil slicks. It also has a light cleansing effect, which helps keep pores clear and skin balanced.
Polysorbate 20
Another gentle emulsifier derived from sorbitol (a sugar alcohol). It helps blend essential oils with water-based ingredients, ensuring your mist is smooth and stable. Think of it as the peacekeeper in your product.
Hexyldecanol
A skin-conditioning fatty alcohol that softens, smooths, and prevents moisture loss. Not to be confused with drying alcohols — this one is a good guy, nourishing and barrier-supportive.
Bisabolol
Derived from chamomile, this compound is a well-documented anti-inflammatory and healing agent. It soothes irritation and enhances skin resilience — a go-to for sensitised or post-procedure skin.
Cetylhydroxyproline Palmitamide (aka Pseudo-Ceramide)
Mouthful, we know — but this ingredient mimics natural ceramides in your skin. It helps repair the skin barrier, retain moisture, and reduce the visible signs of dryness, flaking or sensitivity. Essential for barrier-compromised or reactive skin.
Stearic Acid
A fatty acid that naturally occurs in plant oils. It helps thicken and stabilise the formula, but also conditions the skin and supports the skin’s lipid barrier.
Brassica Campestris (Rapeseed) Sterols
Plant sterols that work like cholesterol in your skin — supporting barrier function, improving elasticity, and locking in hydration. These are the unsung heroes of healthy, resilient skin.
Rose Geranium Essential Oil
The soul of this mist. Not just for its heavenly floral scent, Rose Geranium essential oil helps regulate oil production, soothe inflammation, and promote skin healing. It also adds an aromatherapeutic element — reducing stress, lifting the mood, and turning your skincare into ritual.
Why Use a Face Mist?
A properly formulated mist is not an optional extra — it’s a bridge between cleansing and moisturising, and a vital tool for maintaining daily hydration.
Benefits:
-
Rehydrates the skin throughout the day (without disrupting makeup)
-
Enhances absorption of serums and moisturisers
-
Soothes post-treatment or sun-exposed skin

Refreshes skin (and senses) on the go
-
Helps maintain barrier function in air-conditioning or dry environments
How to Use Wild Rose Mist
-
After cleansing: Spray generously before applying serum/moisturiser
