Sure you can get other face mists, but here are a few key ingredients that make Gentle Mist really stand out for highly sensitive and/or rosacea prone skin.
KEY INGREDIENTS
Green tea infusion and neroli hydrosols
Together, these ingredients hydrate the skin’s surface. Since photoallergic responses to sun exposure are often an issue with sensitive skin, green tea’s UV protective properties make it especially helpful as a skin soother.
Kombucha extract
Both the glucoronic and lactic-acid compounds in kombucha are considered beneficial to the skin's dermal layer, helping it maintain moisture and elasticity.
Dandelion extract
With its rich blend of nutrients, such as vitamins A, B, D, iron, magnesium, zinc, potassium, sodium, calcium, and silicon, the dandelion root is a powerful herb to treat and detoxify the skin.
ALL INGREDIENTS
Camellia sinensis (green & white tea), Citrus aurantium bigaradia (neroli) hydrosol, Aloe barbadensis (aloe vera juice), kombucha extract, dandelion extract, Vaccinium myrtillus (bilberry) extract, Cosmocil CQ*, Daucus carota (carrot seed) essential oil, Curcuma longa Rhizome (curcuma) essential oil
NO HARMFUL INGREDIENTS
No toxic fragrances or alcohol and astringents that dry out the skin.

Gentle Mist is an ideal way to replace water lost due to evaporation. Skin with low water content in the epidermis looks dry and is prone to irritation. Not a good combination for highly sensitive and/or rosacea prone skin.
Like its name suggests, Gentle Mist hydrates by delivering humectants to the skin, creating a moist and permeable surface that enables our replenishing oils to disperse and penetrate to the deeper layers more effectively. Hydration helps you retain moisture and avoid transepidermal water loss (TEWL). In non-science speak that’s the loss of water from skin through evaporation. TEWL is the result of exposure to the elements: UVA exposure, wind and cold. Preventing TEWL is accomplished in two ways: 1) keeping skin moist by using humectants containing polysaccharides that attract and hold moisture and 2) maintaining the integrity of the top layer of the skin which serves as an environmental protection barrier.
"Intelligent Ingredients" is more than just a tagline. It’s the overriding principle that guides every formulation at Marie Veronique Organics. That’s because science tells us that what goes on your skin ultimately penetrates your skin and goes into your body. The right ingredients can do a world of good and the wrong ones quite the opposite. Before an ingredient gets added to a product we make sure it does the right thing, efficiently and without causing harm to you or the planet.
Using our deep scientific understanding of the aging process, we turn to nature for potent ingredients that will counter—and even reverse—the effects of aging skin. Our ingredients are selected to penetrate deep within the skin, working exactly where the aging action happens, rather than simply staying on the surface. And above all else, we stand by our philosophy that toxic ingredients, harmful chemicals, artificial agents and preservatives are not the solution for making your skin look and feel younger.
It’s probably no surprise that our entire company is dedicated to sustainability. Wherever possible we use natural, organic and fair trade ingredients, packaged in 100% recyclable materials. And we source them as close to our Mill Valley headquarters as possible to keep our footprint super small.
Shake well before use and keep in a cool place. Mist onto face, neck and chest. If irritation develops discontinue use and consult a physician.
