Nature's Cooling Sanctuary
This moisturizing mist harnesses the power of endemic Cretan plants with remarkable cooling properties. The carefully selected botanical extracts work in harmony to provide instant relief from summer heat while nourishing your skin with antioxidant-rich hydration. Face mists are particularly essential during summer, as they provide instant hydration and deliver a burst of moisture to parched skin, instantly revitalizing and refreshing your complexion.
The Powerhouse Ingredients
The formulation centers around Myrtus communis(myrtle) extract, a Mediterranean treasure renowned for its potent antioxidant properties. This powerful ingredient helps combat free radicals while providing anti-inflammatory benefits that soothe sun-stressed skin. The myrtle essence offers exceptional refreshing qualities, making it perfect for all-day summer use.
Salvia triloba (Greek sage) extract complements the myrtle with its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. This ingredient helps reduce redness while providing antioxidant protection against environmental stressors. The sage extract also offers astringent properties that help balance oily, summer-prone skin.
The Rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary) flower water adds another layer of protection with its proven antioxidant capacity. Rosemary extract helps calm sensitive skin while providing antimicrobial benefits that keep your complexion clear and healthy.
Summer-Perfect Benefits
During the warmer months, facial mists become essential for maintaining skin health. They provide cooling effects that instantly refresh overheated skin while delivering crucial hydration. The Althaea mist's fast-absorbing formula ensures it won't weigh down your skin, making it perfect for layering under sunscreen or makeup.
The Calendula officinalis flower extract within the formula offers anti-inflammatory properties that help soothe sun-irritated skin. Meanwhile, Cistus creticus extract provides powerful antioxidant protection with its rich polyphenolic content.
Why Summer Skin Loves This Formula
Use this mist as your pre-moisturizer prep to enhance absorption of your summer skincare products. Unlike heavy summer moisturizers, this mist prepares your skin perfectly for subsequent skincare steps without creating that sticky, uncomfortable feeling.
Whether you're poolside, exploring ancient ruins, or simply navigating urban summer heat, a quick spritz delivers instant refreshment while maintaining your skin's smooth, clean appearance
The highly refreshing myrtle essence ensures your skin stays comfortable and hydrated throughout the day.
As temperatures rise and sun exposure increases, your skin deserves the protective embrace of these time-tested Cretan botanicals. Althaea's Natural Face Mist transforms your summer skincare routine into a luxurious, cooling ritual that honors both tradition and modern skincare science.
