In the current market, most water-based essential oils meant for topical usage could actually be hydrosols, hydrolats, or floral waters, which are the aromatic waters that remain after the steam distillation of plants when producing essential oils. They contain a much diluted version of the plant’s essential oils, making them milder and safer for direct use on the skin and other applications. These hydrosols, hydrolats, or floral waters are not as concentrated as their oil-based counterparts (often less than 1% to maximum 3%) making them a good option for those who may have sensitive skin or are new to the world of aromatherapy.
However, Misthree’s water-based essential oils are derived from actual essential oils and not hydrosols, hydrolats, or floral waters. We incorporate the essential oils into water using a biodegradable polymer so that these oils are uniformly distributed in water and can be convenient applied in a safe manner. Unlike other products, Misthree’s AquaEssentz series of product would state the concentration of the essential oil in the product so that you know how much to dilute to a desired concentration based on your own research and experience.
Gentle Aromatherapy: Misthree AquaEssentz offer a more delicate and subtle aroma compared to their concentrated counterparts. This makes them perfect for creating a calming atmosphere in your living space, office, or even in your car.
Skin Care: These Misthree AquaEssentz products can be applied directly to the skin with or without the need for dilution. They can help soothe irritations, balance skin pH, and provide a refreshing sensation.
Facial Toner: Incorporate Misthree AquaEssentz into your skincare routine by using them as facial toners. They can help tighten pores, reduce redness, and provide a natural glow to your skin. However, do use them diluted at a suitable personalized concentration for your skin.

Mood Enhancement: Different Misthree AquaEssentz offer various emotional benefits. For example, Misthree AquaEssentz Lavender is known for its calming effects, while Misthree AquaEssentz Lavender Bliss (contains a blend of Lavender, Orange and Patchouli) can uplift your mood.
Misthree AquaEssentz Single Essential oil products can be used alone. But it can add more fun & creativity for you to mix different AquaEssentz products in your desired ratio to have your personalized fragrance & aromatherapy effects.

When applying on face or sensitive areas, always start on a much diluted version on a small part of an unobvious area (e.g, under the chin, behind the ear) and make sure that there’s no adverse reaction after 24 hours.
After washing your hair, mist it with a Misthree AquaEssentz to promote scalp health and add a subtle fragrance.
Using essential oils can be enjoyable and beneficial, but it’s important to follow good practices and safety guidelines to ensure you’re using them effectively and safely. Here are some guidelines to keep in mind:
Quality Matters: Choose high-quality, pure essential oils from reputable brands. Look for oils that are labeled as 100% pure, therapeutic grade, and are sourced from reputable suppliers.
Dilution: Essential oils are potent and concentrated, so they should be diluted before applying to the skin. Misthree AquaEssentz are already diluted to a lower concentration and can be further diluted using distilled water if necessary. Note that AquaEssentz products should not be diluted in carrier oil or alcohol.
Patch Test: Before using a new essential oil, perform a patch test on a small area of your skin to check for any allergic reactions or sensitivities. Wait 12-24 hours to see if any adverse reaction occur before using the product.
Dosage: Less is often more with essential oils. Start with a small amount and gradually increase if needed. Explore with combination blends for synergistic effects. Everyone may have different “affinity” to different essential oils.
Avoid Sensitive Areas: Keep essential oils away from sensitive areas such as eyes, ears, and mucous membranes. If you accidentally get Misthree AquaEssentz in these areas, flush with plenty of tap water.
Pregnancy and Children: Consult with a qualified healthcare professional before using essential oils during pregnancy, on infants, or on young children. Some oils may not be safe for these populations.
Sun Sensitivity: Certain essential oils, especially citrus oils like lemon, lime, and bergamot, can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight. Avoid sun exposure for at least 12-24 hours after applying these oils topically.
When diffusing essential oils, do not breathe in the mist directly. Ensure proper ventilation in the room.
Be aware of any allergies or sensitivities you or your family members might have to specific essential oils. Discontinue use if you experience any adverse reactions.
Consult Professionals: If you’re new to using essential oils or if you have any medical conditions or concerns, consult with a qualified aromatherapist or healthcare provider before use.
Pets: Some essential oils can be harmful to pets. Research thoroughly before using essential oils around animals, and consult with a veterinarian for guidance.
Labeling: Properly label your essential oil bottles with the name of the oil and the date of purchase. This helps you keep track of their shelf life and usage.
Educate Yourself: Take the time to educate yourself about each essential oil you use. Understand its properties, benefits, potential risks, and appropriate usage methods.
Remember that individual responses to essential oils can vary, so it’s important to listen to your body and use caution. When used properly, essential oils can provide various benefits, but safety should always be the top priority.
