Petrichor is an antioxidant serum for skin in a mist hybrid formula that provides environmental protection while delivering instant hydration and skin-soothing benefits. This formula combines a refreshing facial mist with concentrated active ingredients typically found in treatment serums. Its quality has earned recognition as the 2024 Beauty Shortlist Awards Winner for Best Face Tonic.
The mist features a synergistic blend of antioxidants that work together to neutralize free radicals. The combination of vitamin C (as ethyl ascorbic acid) & vitamin E create an effective defensive system, as these ingredients enhance each other's stability and protective capacity. This antioxidant serum complex is supported by potent antioxidants green tea extract and resveratrol, creating multiple layers of defense against environmental stressors.
Beyond protection, Petrichor supports skin health through carefully selected humectants and soothing agents. Zinc PCA balances oil production while providing natural moisturizing factor benefits, making it valuable for combination and blemish-prone skin while witch hazel offers gentle purification without causing dryness. Olive leaf extract helps address oxidative stress and supports the skin's natural recovery processes. Licorice adds a brightening burst while edelweiss and elderberry provide anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial broad-spectrum defense against various environmental factors.
The liquid serum formula is delivered through a fine mist spray for even distribution and easy application. With minimal essential oil content (0.03%), Petrichor provides a subtle sensorial experience with earthy green notes and a delicate floral undertone, suitable for those with fragrance sensitivities. The protective Miron glass packaging preserves the integrity of the active ingredients.

Protective Serum-Mist That Shields Skin From Environmental Aggressors
The Proof is in the Reviews
Using this Mist
Experience it
Petrichor delivers an immediate sensorial refresh with its fine, enveloping mist that distributes evenly across the skin, leaving a dewy finish that absorbs quickly without any sticky residue or tightness. The subtle earthy-green aroma with delicate floral notes provides a brief moment of natural aromatherapy before dissipating, making it suitable for fragrance-sensitive individuals. Upon application, skin feels instantly hydrated, soothed, and plumped with a bouncy resilience that creates an ideal canvas for subsequent skincare steps or a midday refreshment that restores comfort without disturbing makeup.
How to Use it
Apply Petrichor after cleansing in your morning routine, misting generously onto face and neck to create a protective antioxidant shield before applying moisturizer and sunscreen. For enhanced hydration and barrier support, follow with a few drops of facial oil while skin is still damp from the mist, allowing the humectants in Petrichor to work synergistically with the emollients. Keep Petrichor on hand throughout the day for periodic reapplication—particularly in urban environments, air-conditioned spaces, or during air travel—to maintain antioxidant protection and skin comfort without compromising your makeup or sunscreen application.
Why You Need it
Petrichor solves the common skincare dilemma of how to provide ongoing environmental protection and hydration throughout the day without disrupting makeup or requiring a complete routine restart. Unlike traditional toners that often prioritize astringent properties over hydration, or simple hydrating mists that lack protective benefits, Petrichor delivers clinically proven antioxidants in a format that's effortless to apply and reapply. The formula addresses multiple skin concerns simultaneously—protection, hydration, soothing, and balancing—eliminating the need for several single-function products. Whether you're facing urban pollution, dealing with indoor air quality issues, or simply seeking a multi-tasking product that maintains skin health during busy days, Petrichor provides comprehensive care in a single step.
Key Ingredients in PETRICHOR Antioxidant Serum Mist
Green Tea (Camellia sinensis) Extract
Contains EGCG, one of the most studied antioxidant compounds in skincare. Peer-reviewed research consistently demonstrates its ability to reduce UV damage, calm inflammation, and regulate sebum production. Anti-everything-bad, basically.
Licorice Extract (Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root Extract)
A serious brightening ingredient that works by inhibiting tyrosinase, the enzyme responsible for excess pigmentation. Also anti-inflammatory, so it tackles dark spots and redness simultaneously. Gentle enough for sensitized skin.
Resveratrol
A potent antioxidant found in grape skins that neutralizes environmental damage before it shows up as visible aging. Research shows it calms inflammation and supports collagen production, making skin more resilient over time.
As Seen In
I'll never stop buying Petrichor! Better than any other facial mist I've ever tried. My skin stays more hydrated when I start my skincare routine with a spritz of Petrichor! My one and only complaint is that Jess has yet to create other products with the Petrichor scent. I want to smell like this all the time.
I really like this mist and was sad when I ran out and lost it from my routine. I'm excited to have it again and the new packaging is really nice!
Tried and true. My misty, moisty morning wakeup! So glad it's back in stock.
I love this mist!
Petrichor is amazing. It's a powerful antioxidant serum in mist form that makes my skin feel wonderful. I look forward to using it as my first step post Aurora or Eclipse for the scent and the skin feel. On some days I think if I stopped there my skin would be perfectly happy. When I layer Equinox and City for day, and Equinox and Midnight before bed, my skin is plump and glowing. I apply Petrichor by spraying it into my palm, and then patting it onto my face. It absorbs well, and leaves my skin feeling ready for my serums.
