Every active in our Hydrating Mist is there for a reason — and sourced with intention. Our marine botanicals are grown and harvested at a seaweed farm on the Devon coast, where cold, mineral-rich waters produce some of the cleanest marine ingredients available.
Damask Rose Water (Rosa Damascena Flower Water)
Soothes and gently astringes, helping to calm the skin while delivering a soft, natural scent — no added fragrance required.
Witch Hazel Water (Hamamelis Virginiana Water)
Refines and helps balance the appearance of pores, toning the skin without stripping or leaving it tight.
Red Algae Extract (Chondrus Crispus Extract)
Helps support moisture retention at a cellular level, so skin holds hydration rather than losing it through the barrier.
Kelp Extract (Macrocystis Pyrifera Extract)
Marine-sourced minerals help nourish and replenish the skin's surface, supporting a hydrated, comfortable feel.
Aloe Leaf Juice (Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice)
Calms sensitised and reactive skin on contact, helping to ease the feel of inflammation and environmental stress.
MSM (Methyl Sulfonyl Methane)
A naturally occurring sulfur compound that helps support skin smoothness and soothing comfort.
Glycerin
A humectant that draws moisture into the skin, helping maintain hydration throughout the day.
Provitamin B5 (Panthenol)
Soothes and moisturises while helping to support the skin barrier, complementing the calming action of aloe and rose water.
Balanced with a gentle preservation system. No added fragrance, no unnecessary additives — only what the skin actually uses.

Hydration is the foundation of this formula — not an afterthought. Red algae and kelp, sourced from a seaweed farm on the Devon coast, help support moisture retention at a cellular level so the skin holds water rather than losing it through the barrier. Glycerin draws moisture into the skin, while provitamin B5 helps reinforce and moisturise the barrier itself. Aloe leaf juice calms on contact, and the marine mineral complex helps replenish the skin's surface with the hydration it needs to look and feel comfortable, plump, and supple. To apply, hold the mist 10–20 cm away from your face, close your eyes, and mist evenly over the skin. Allow it to absorb for a few seconds before continuing your routine.
-
Yes — and this is where marine hydration goes further than a standard mist. As skin matures, transepidermal water loss accelerates and the barrier becomes less efficient at holding onto moisture, which contributes to the appearance of fine lines, loss of plumpness, and a decline in that smooth, resilient feel. The Hydrating Mist helps counter this in two ways: by supporting moisture retention at a cellular level (red algae and kelp) and by reinforcing the barrier (provitamin B5 and glycerin). Well-hydrated, well-supported skin looks plumper, smoother, and more resilient — and when the barrier is functioning well, the visible signs of ageing are softened rather than accelerated. Hold the mist 10–20 cm from the face, close your eyes, and mist evenly morning and evening to help skin stay hydrated, plump, and supported over time.
-
Both. The Hydrating Mist is designed for two applications. As a mist: hold approximately 10–20 cm away from your face, close your eyes, and mist evenly over the skin — ideal after cleansing, over prescribed actives, over makeup, or whenever your skin needs a hydrating top-up throughout the day. As a toner: after cleansing, apply the mist to a cotton wool pad and wipe gently over the face. The witch hazel and damask rose water help refine and tone, while the marine actives begin their hydration work immediately. Either method delivers the same hydrating and barrier-supporting benefits — choose the one that suits the moment.
-
Yes. It was formulated first and foremost for reactive, sensitive, and easily irritated skin — the kind Nataliya sees every day in her Belgravia clinic. Aloe leaf juice and damask rose water help calm on contact, and the formula is fragrance-free with no unnecessary additives. To apply, hold the mist 10–20 cm away from your face, close your eyes, and mist evenly. As with any new product, we recommend a patch test on the inner forearm before first use.
-
Yes. This mist was designed to support skin that is undergoing active treatment — when the barrier is compromised, moisture is being lost rapidly, and the skin needs gentle, consistent hydration to help it stay comfortable. The marine actives, glycerin, and provitamin B5 help hydrate and moisturise the barrier, while aloe and rose water help soothe the dryness and sensitivity that prescribed actives can cause. Hold the mist 10–20 cm from the face, close your eyes, and mist lightly over treated skin as often as needed throughout the day. You can also apply it to a cotton wool pad and wipe gently over the face after cleansing as a calming, hydrating toner step.
-
No added fragrance. The mist has a subtle, natural scent from the damask rose water itself — light and short-lived on the skin. Nothing synthetic, nothing lingering. The formula is built around hydration and barrier support, not scent.
-
Yes. The formula is lightweight, non-greasy, and non-congesting, making it well suited to oily, combination, and breakout-prone skin. Hydration is essential for every skin type — even oil-prone skin needs water, not oil — and this mist delivers moisture without heaviness while toning without stripping. Hold the mist 10–20 cm away from your face, close your eyes, and mist evenly, or apply to a cotton wool pad and wipe over the face after cleansing. Oil-prone skin gets the hydration it still needs without anything that adds to congestion.
-
No. The witch hazel in this formula is a gentle, water-based distillate — not the high-alcohol toners commonly associated with drying. It helps refine and balance the skin's texture without stripping, and sits within a hydrating base of marine actives, glycerin, and aloe that keep the skin comfortable and moisturised. Used as a toner on a cotton wool pad, it offers a gentle, hydrating toning step rather than an astringent one.
-
Absolutely. The mist dispenses as a fine, even spray that refreshes and rehydrates without disturbing makeup or leaving a residue. Keep it on your desk, in your bag, or by your bedside and mist as often as your skin needs a moment of comfort — over bare skin or makeup alike.
-
As often as you like. The mist is gentle enough for daily, repeated use — morning and evening after cleansing, and as a refreshing top-up throughout the day. There is no need to limit application.
-
The formula contains gentle, naturally derived ingredients and no added fragrance. However, we always recommend speaking with your doctor or midwife before introducing any new skincare during pregnancy. For context, Nataliya's clinic offers treatments to clients from 12 weeks of pregnancy onwards, following a full consultation — and the same cautious, personalised approach applies to product use.
-
Use it as your toning and hydrating step after cleansing and before serum or moisturiser — it replaces a separate toner and a hydration step in one. During the day, mist it over bare skin or makeup whenever your skin feels tight, dry, or in need of a refresh. In the evening, it helps calm and rehydrate skin after actives, sun exposure, or a long day.

1. After cleansing — hold the mist approximately 10–20 cm away from the face, close your eyes, and mist evenly over bare skin. Allow it to absorb for a few seconds before applying serum or moisturiser. The witch hazel and rose water act as a gentle toning step, refining the skin while the marine actives begin their hydration work.
2. Over prescribed actives — if you are using Differin, Roaccutane, salicylic acid, AHAs, or BHAs, mist lightly after application to help calm and rehydrate the barrier. Use as often as needed throughout the day.
3. Throughout the day — keep it on your desk, in your bag, or by your bedside. A light mist over makeup or bare skin refreshes, rehydrates, and helps counter the drying effects of air conditioning, heating, and screen-stressed skin.
4. After exposure — use following sun, wind, or pollution exposure to help calm environmental-induced inflammation.
