The Hydrosol Base
75% hydrosol. Not water with a fragrance added.
Most facial mists are 90%+ water with a few drops of essential oil floating on top. Mountain Clarity replaces the water almost entirely — rosemary and peppermint hydrosols make up three-quarters of the formula, carrying trace phytochemicals from the actual distillation rather than just borrowing the scent.
Tone
Rosemary Hydrosol
Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Water
The dominant ingredient at 45% of the total formula. Steam-distilled, never a reconstituted water — the quality of the hydrosol is what carries the finished mist's scent and feel.
Trace rosemary phytochemicals tone skin and anchor the herbal core of the fragrance.
Cool
Peppermint Hydrosol
Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Water
30% of the formula. Delivers an immediate cooling sensation on contact along with a mild, pore-refining astringency.
Paired with rosemary hydrosol, this is what makes the 75% hydrosol base the defining trait of the mist.
Hydrate
Aloe Vera Juice
Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice
Commercially processed 200x concentrate — not homemade, not diluted. Soothing polysaccharides add hydration without any heaviness.
At 5%, it's a recognizable, dependable ingredient rather than a trace addition.
Humectants & Skin Actives
Three actives, layered for hydration that holds.
A mist has seconds of contact time to do anything useful. These three ingredients are what make that time count — pulling moisture in and helping the skin barrier hold onto it after the mist has settled.
3%
Vegetable Glycerin
Glycerin
The primary humectant, drawing moisture into the skin. Panthenol and magnesium PCA are pre-dissolved in it before it goes into the formula.
2%
Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5)
Panthenol
Barrier repair and a silky after-feel — the ingredient that separates a premium mist from a basic spray bottle of water and essential oil.
1%
Magnesium PCA
Magnesium PCA
The mineral element of the alpine story. Magnesium is a cofactor in over 300 enzymatic reactions in skin.

The Fragrance
Rosemary, Peppermint, Lavender Bridge
Top
Peppermint Essential Oil
Heart
Rosemary Essential Oil
Bridge
True Lavender
Rosemary essential oil reinforces and intensifies the rosemary hydrosol note. Peppermint essential oil, held below 0.1% for facial safety, brightens the peppermint hydrosol without tipping into irritation.
True lavender (Lavandula angustifolia, not lavandin) sits at just 0.03% — a bridge note, not a dominant one. Total EO load: 0.28%.
How to Use
Morning, evening, or any time you need a reset.
Close Eyes
Hold the bottle 20 to 30 cm from your face and close your eyes before spraying. The fine-mist sprayer delivers an even, weightless cloud.
Mist
Mist liberally over clean face and neck. Use morning and evening after cleansing, before your serum or moisturizer.
Settle
Allow the mist to settle for about 30 seconds before applying anything else. It absorbs fast, without stickiness or residue.
Anytime
Keep it at your desk for a midday pick-up, or spritz lightly over makeup for a dewy finish that doesn't disturb it.
Storage: Room temperature (15 to 25°C), away from direct sunlight and heat. Do not freeze. Amber glass protects the light-sensitive hydrosols and essential oils inside. 12 to 18 months unopened; 6 months once opened.
What We Promise
Specific claims. All of them provable.
A New Category
Our first facial product. Same standard.
Why a mist, and why now
Every Acquavena formula until now has been a wash, a soak, or a lotion. Mountain Clarity is the first product built for the moment right after cleansing — a fast, weightless step that tones and hydrates before serum or moisturizer goes on.
The hydrosol-forward approach and the rosemary-peppermint-lavender profile keep it in the same botanical family as the rest of the line, just in a new format.
The Ritual
Where Mountain Clarity fits in the routine.
After Clear Bloom Liquid Soap — the toning step
Clear Bloom's calendula-green-tea-nettle wash leaves skin clean but slightly dry to the touch. Mist Mountain Clarity immediately after rinsing and towelling off — the 75% hydrosol base restores moisture before it has a chance to evaporate off bare skin.
Before Vital Bloom Lotion — primed absorption
Mist first, wait the 30 seconds for it to settle, then apply Vital Bloom. The panthenol and magnesium PCA in Mountain Clarity leave skin receptive, and Vital Bloom's 4-layer humectant system absorbs faster into slightly damp skin than dry skin.
