Nourish London Antioxidant Peptide Mist

(Gifted Item) In my experience with skincare so far, I've found that facial mists tend to be either functional or sensory. They're either unscented, or gently scented and sort of high-tech and packed with active ingredients or they lean towards the natural side of things, spiked with beautiful essential oils and extracts for a mainly aromatherapeutic experience.

Nourish London have done a great job of finding a balance between the functional and sensory spritzing experience with the launch of their Antioxidant Peptide Mist.

The Peptide Mist is a dual-phase formula that separates when left alone, so you just need to shake it gently before use. The 91% organic blend of oils, Glycerin and ferments is housed in a satisfyingly heavy glass bottle with a mister that delivers an ultra-fine spritz of product.

Packaging and delivery system aside, we all know it’s what’s inside that really counts, and the Peptide Mist is chock full of ingredients that work in harmony to hydrate, brighten, protect and calm the skin.

As mentioned, the mist contains humectant Glycerin to draw water to the skin and also features hydrating Hyaluronic Acid, brightening Liquorice Root extract, antioxidant Turmeric and anti-aging Pea Peptide.

With Bisabolol (an alcohol derived from German Chamomile) to soothe and Petitgrain, Geranium and Lavender Oils, the mist features a number of ferments including Zinc, Copper, Magnesium, Iron and Silicon. The mineral ferments are in the mix for their probiotic properties that work to create a soothed, fortified and glowing complexion.

I really like how complex this formula is – it manages to include a lot of active ingredients while managing to remain 99% natural. The scent, which is a result of the essential oil blend of Petitgrain, Geranium and Lavender, is pretty powerful (in a nice way!) and I’ve actually spritzed it on my pillow a few times. A very pleasant mist that I like to use mainly throughout the day to freshen up and last thing at night to help me wind down.

You can find Nourish London Antioxidant Peptide Mist at Nourish for £22 for 100ml. There’s also a travel size version if you’d rather test the waters first – a good option if you can be sensitive to essential oils.
