Facial mists are often underestimated.
When poorly formulated, they’re little more than fragranced water. When designed with intention, however, a mist becomes a functional hydration step — supporting barrier comfort, ingredient absorption, and daily skin balance.
Wild Rose Mist is formulated to sit within a routine, not outside of it.
The Role of a Facial Mist
A facial mist serves a specific purpose in skin care:
-
it reintroduces water to the skin after cleansing
-
it supports humectant activity
-
it prepares the skin to better receive serums and moisturisers
-
it helps maintain skin comfort throughout the day
Hydration alone doesn’t sit in the skin — it needs support. Wild Rose is designed to provide that support.
Formulation Philosophy
Wild Rose Mist is built around hydration + barrier support, not novelty.
Each ingredient is included for a functional reason — to hydrate, soothe, stabilise the formula, or support the skin’s surface lipids. There are no decorative ingredients and no “petals in water” shortcuts.
Ingredient Breakdown & Functional Role
Water (Aqua)
Acts as the solvent and delivery medium for humectants, extracts, and skin-conditioning ingredients. Essential for hydration-based formulations.
Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Extract
A botanical extract known for its skin-conditioning and soothing properties. Helps refine the feel of the skin and support comfort, particularly in warm or humid conditions.
Note: This is an extract, not a high-alcohol distillate.
Alcohol Denat.
Used at a controlled level to:
-
improve formula stability
-
enhance sensory feel and quick absorption
When balanced with humectants and conditioning agents, it contributes freshness without excessive dryness.
Glycerin
A gold-standard humectant that draws water into the upper layers of the skin and supports hydration retention.
Butylene Glycol
Functions as both a humectant and solvent, improving skin feel and helping distribute ingredients evenly without stickiness.
Cucumber Extract (Cucumis Sativus)
A soothing botanical extract that helps reduce the sensation of heat and discomfort, supporting skin calm and freshness.
PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil & Polysorbate 20
Gentle emulsifiers that keep essential oils evenly dispersed in the water-based formula, ensuring stability and consistent application.
Hexyldecanol
A skin-conditioning fatty alcohol that helps soften the skin and reduce moisture loss. Not a drying alcohol.
Bisabolol
A well-documented skin-soothing ingredient derived from chamomile, used to support comfort in sensitised or reactive skin.
Cetylhydroxyproline Palmitamide (Pseudo-Ceramide)
A ceramide-mimicking ingredient that supports moisture retention and barrier function by reinforcing the skin’s lipid matrix.
Stearic Acid
A fatty acid that contributes to formula stability while also conditioning the skin surface.
Brassica Campestris (Rapeseed) Sterols
Plant sterols that help support barrier function and improve skin flexibility by reinforcing surface lipids.
Rose Geranium Essential Oil
Used for its aromatic and sensory properties, contributing to the overall ritual experience of the mist.
How Wild Rose Functions in a Routine
When used consistently, Wild Rose Mist can help:
-
replenish water in the skin after cleansing
-
support humectant performance in serums and creams
-
maintain skin comfort in dry or air-conditioned environments
-
refresh the skin without disrupting makeup
-
support barrier function through lightweight lipid components
It works best when layered — hydration first, then treatment, then nourishment.
How to Use
-
After cleansing, mist generously before applying serums or moisturisers
-
Between layers of skincare to enhance hydration
-
After exfoliation to support skin comfort
-
Throughout the day as needed for refreshment
Layering tip: mist → serum → mist → moisturiser supports hydration retention and improves overall skin feel.
Who It’s Suited For
Wild Rose Mist is suitable for:
-
all skin types
-
skin prone to dehydration or sensitivity
-
environments with air-conditioning or heat exposure
-
routines focused on barrier support and hydration
In Summary
Wild Rose Mist is a functional hydration step designed to support skin comfort, moisture retention, and barrier function throughout the day.
It’s a considered formulation that helps skin behave more comfortably — while turning daily hydration into a calm, grounding ritual.
