๐ฌ Ingredient Breakdown
๐ง Hyaluronic Acid ~0.1โ1% Proven
The headline humectant. Hyaluronic acid draws water into the upper layers of skin, leaving it plump, bouncy and visibly hydrated without any heaviness or stickiness.
- Source: HA can hold many hundreds of times its own weight in water, making it one of the most effective topical hydrating agents.
- Source: Regular topical use has been shown to improve skin hydration and the look of suppleness.
๐ฑ Panax Ginseng Root Extract Botanical Promising
A traditional Korean revitalizing root rich in ginsenosides and antioxidants that help energize tired-looking skin and support a brighter, healthier appearance.
- Source: Ginseng extracts show antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity in laboratory and early clinical research.
๐ต Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract Botanical Proven
Green tea is loaded with polyphenols such as EGCG that calm redness and help defend skin against free-radical and pollution damage.
- Source: Green tea polyphenols are well-documented antioxidants with soothing, anti-inflammatory effects on skin.
๐ชด Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe Vera) Botanical Proven
Used here as both flower and leaf extract, aloe vera delivers lightweight moisture and a cooling, soothing effect that's ideal for stressed or sun-exposed skin.
- Source: Aloe is widely studied for its hydrating and skin-calming properties.
๐พ Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Leaf Extract Botanical Promising
Witch hazel acts as a gentle astringent and antioxidant that tones skin and helps refine the look of pores. This formula uses the milder leaf extract rather than an alcohol distillate.
- Source: Witch hazel offers astringent and antioxidant benefits thanks to its natural tannins.
๐ Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Fragrance Promising
Lavender flower extract and oil give the mist its signature calming aroma and add mild antioxidant and soothing benefits.
- Source: Lavender contains aromatic compounds traditionally associated with relaxation and skin soothing.

Balances hydration across the face without overwhelming the T-zone.
Soothing botanicals help, but the lavender and lime essential oils mean a patch test is wise.

โ Frequently Asked Questions
It contains no retinoids, salicylic acid, hydroquinone or chemical sunscreens, so it's generally considered low-risk during pregnancy and breastfeeding. It does include trace lavender and lime essential oils, so check with your doctor or midwife if you prefer to avoid fragrance during pregnancy.
Not strictly. It contains Polyglyceryl-10 Myristate โ a fatty-acid ester that can potentially feed malassezia โ plus essential oils. If you follow a strict fungal-acne-safe routine you may prefer a simpler mist, but for most people without malassezia concerns it's well tolerated.
Yes. Use it as your hydrating prep step before your actives โ mist it on, let it absorb, then apply vitamin C, retinol or exfoliating acids. Its soothing aloe and green tea can even help buffer irritation from stronger actives.
It's formulated for all skin types and is especially good for dry, dehydrated and combination skin. Sensitive skin usually tolerates it well, but patch test first because of the lavender and lime essential oils.
Hydration and a fresh, dewy feel are instant. Smoother, more supple skin typically shows within 1โ2 weeks of twice-daily use, and the brand's 4-week efficacy testing reported improved hydration over time.
It's Step 3 โ right after double cleansing. Mist it on to prep skin, then layer serum, moisturizer and (in the morning) SPF. You can also re-mist over makeup or any time your skin feels thirsty.
It's water-based and lightweight with an estimated comedogenic rating of about 1/5, so it's unlikely to clog pores for most users. Only trace amounts of lavender and lime oil are present.
Its Period After Opening (PAO) is 12 months. Store it upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and use it within a year of opening for best results.
Verdict: Yepoda's The Mist Have is a genuinely lovely, fast-absorbing hydrating mist that earns its all-in-one label โ it tones, refreshes, preps makeup and travels beautifully in chic refillable glass. Hyaluronic acid, ginseng, green tea and aloe deliver real, if light, hydration, and the vegan, eco-conscious formula is easy to feel good about. The main trade-offs are the premium per-ml price, the small 50 ml size, and the lavender and lime essential oils that make it less ideal for fragrance-sensitive or strict fungal-acne-safe users. If you want a delightful daily hydration booster and don't mind a light natural scent, it's a strong pick; minimalists can find cheaper, fragrance-free dupes.

However one type of alcohols, simple alcohols can be quite drying to the skin because it evaporates very quickly. This can cause irritation which can also lead to other skin complications. These alcohols should never be used alone on your skin, but combined with other cosmetic ingredients, they are normally without issue.

Understanding Silicones
If you've ever used a skincare, makeup or beauty product that's made your skin look and feel smoother tempoarily - it's likely contained Silicone. They are a popular class of ingredients found in cosmetics due to their smooth, soft, easy-to-spread and smooth properties that help creates an artificial layer/barrier on top of skin or hair (commonly found in conditioners).
For the same reasons they are popularly used, they are also commonly avoided. Anecdotally, many individuals have reported that Silicones cause/excerbate breakouts, irritation, cause a feeling of skin being unable to breathe, cause clumping of cosmetic products and find it difficult to wash off. As a result, those who find them problematic are avoiding them and increasingly, cosmetic companies are avoiding them as well.
If you have had bad experiences with Silicones in the past, or suspect they are problematic then look out for the tick on the Silicone-free label.
Disclaimer
The Silicone-free label only includes the most common Silicone ingredients that have indentified been reported by individuals that could potentially cause issues.
These include: Amodimethicone, Behenoxy Dimethicone, Bis-Aminopropyl Dimethicone, Cetearyl Methicone, Cetyl Dimethicone, Cyclomethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Dimethicone Copolyol, Dimethiconol, Methicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Stearoxy Dimethicone, Stearyl Dimethicone, Trimethylsilylamodimethicone.

EU Allergen-Free
EU Allergen-Free
Understanding the Identified Contact Allergens
The EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) has identified and established 26 cosmetic ingredients that are likely contact allergens (potential to cause skin allergies) as demonstrated in clinical or epidemiological studies. The EU's SCCS have recommend cosmetic companies to disclose them on the labels if used and in cases where the concentration exceeds 0.001% in leave-on products and 0.01% in rinse-off products, then they must be labelled.
Look out for the tick on the EU-Allergen free label to know your cosmetic is free from any of the 26 identified cosmetic ingredients.
For more information regarding the EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety, please visit their official website.
Disclaimer
The EU Allergen Free label is for the 26 ingredients identified by the EU SCCS and products will be only flagged if a suspected ingredient is on it's ingredient list. It is possible for cosmetics to contain one of the suspect ingredients without it appearing on the ingredient list due to it not reaching the concentration threshold to disclose it and cosmetic manufacturers choice to not disclose it.
Also note, the EU Allergen Free label is not personalized for your own allergies you may have and it does not constitute as medical advice. For your specific case, always consult your medical professiona such as dermatologist, physician, pharmacist, or health care provider - please read our medical disclaimer for more information.
Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Understanding Fungal Acne (Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia Folliculitis)
Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia folliculitis or simply known as Fungal Acne is a persistent acne-like condition that commonly responds poorly to traditional acne-treating methods. Unlike most cases of Acne where bacteria is the culprit, Fungi is the culprit of Fungal Acne (Hence the name!). There are certain classes & groups of ingredients that have been shown to promote and feed the growth of the Fungal Acne, Fungi such as fatty acids, oils, esters, polysorbates and fermented ingredients.
For more information regarding Fungal Acne, please visit Simple Skincare Science (f.c) - #3 of our Recommend Skincare Resources for an amazing comprehensive guide!
Please Read: How to use the Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Label
At SkinCarisma, we've done our best to identify as many ingredients as possible but note the fungal-free label may not be 100% accurate due to the complexconditions and combination of ingredients that malezzeria can thrive on.
Additionally, products that may contain ingredients that have shown to feed Malassezia may not neccessarily exacerbate the condition due to concentration of ingredient used in the product, this information is simply not available on the products.
As a result, please note this is only an experimental label that can be best used to possible identify problematic products you have used in the past. It is in no way a perfect identifier nor a predictor in whether or not it will exacerbate or cause fungal acne. It will continue to be worked on as more information and research comes to light.
If you find any ingredients you believe should be included, please email us at snails@skincarisma.com.
Disclaimer
Due to the lack of substantial research into this area it is very likely there are other ingredients and class/groups of ingredients that could feed Fungal Acne which have not been indentified.
The Fungal-Safe label does not constitute as medical advice. For your specific case, always consult your medical professiona such as dermatologist, physician, pharmacist, or health care provider - please read our medical disclaimer for more information.
What are Notable Effects & Ingredients?
Ever used a product that promised a certain effect but provided no results? It might not have contained any notable ingredients that could have been responsible for that promised effect. It doesn't matter what the marketing or packaging ยซpromisesยป it can do, if it doesn't contain anything that can help - then the likelihood of it helping is low.
We help you identify key notable ingredients that have been shown to help with effects such as acne-fighting, brightening, UV-protection, wound healing & anti-aging to help you achieve your skincare goals smarter. Please note that different notable ingredients have varying levels of research behind them, some are extremely well proven yet some have mixed research in their efficacy.
Pro Tip Alert!
Just because a product doesn't contain any notable ingredients doesn't mean it's bad. And a product with notable ingredients (or even many) doesn't necessarily guarantee the efficacy of the product performing these effects either. There are other factors such as ingredient quality, concentration and formulation that will ultimately determine this.
Be smart and use this as just a starting point for you to make more informed and smarter choices and compare it with reviews to see if the product is right for you

What are Ingredients Related to Skin Type?
Why are some products great for some people and horrible for others? Well everyone has different skin types and different reactions to the same ingredients.
We've identified a range of ingredients that are commonly regarded as potentially good or bad for those with Dry, Oily/Acne-Prone or Sensitive skin.
Pro Tip Alert!
A product that contains good or bad ingredients for your skin type doesn't always flat out make the entire product good or bad for your skin. There are other factors such as ingredient quality, concentration and formulation that will ultimately determine your skins reaction.
One of the best ways to use this section is to troubleshoot products you've had bad experiences with in the past. Check if it contains any of the marked ingredients to point out suspect ingredients to avoid in the future!

What is the Ingredient Safety Breakdown?
Ingredient Safety Breakdown refers to the percentage % of ingredients in different risk categories as classified by EWG (Environment Working Group) if they are available. There are almost endless cosmetic ingredients and they are one of the few organisations globally that have assigned ratings to a lot of the more commonly used ingredients which is why we reference them.
Pro Tip Alert!
EWG is seen by many to be more on the alarmist side in their assignment of health ratings resulting in rating ingredients as riskier than they actually are. We recommend using this a reference point rather than a strict guide of ingredient safety and to always do further research if into ingredients that you may find suspect.
