β Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! This toning mist is confirmed pregnancy and breastfeeding safe. Biossance states that all their products except the Retinol Night Serum are safe for use during pregnancy. The formula contains no retinoids, high-concentration salicylic acid, or other ingredients that dermatologists recommend avoiding during pregnancy. The squalane and hyaluronic acid are both considered safe for pregnant and nursing mothers.
Use with caution if you have fungal acne. While squalane itself is fungal acne safe (it has a carbon chain length of 30 and cannot be metabolized by Malassezia yeast), this formula contains polyglyceryl esters (Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate, Polyglyceryl-4 Cocoate, etc.) and Glyceryl Citrate/Lactate/Linoleate/Oleate which may feed Malassezia. If you're prone to fungal acne, patch test first or consider alternatives like pure squalane oil.
Yes! This hydrating mist pairs well with most active ingredients. Use it after cleansing and before applying your retinol, vitamin C serum, or chemical exfoliants. The hydrating formula can help buffer actives and reduce potential irritation. You can also use it after applying your actives to lock in hydration. The squalane helps support the skin barrier, which is especially beneficial when using potent actives.
This mist works well for most skin types, especially combination, oily, and normal skin. The lightweight formula is excellent for oily skin as it hydrates without adding heaviness or shine. Dry skin types may need to spray multiple times or follow with a richer moisturizer. Those with sensitive skin should patch test first due to the natural essential oils (lavender, geranium, mandarin). It's particularly excellent for mature skin due to the plumping hyaluronic acid.
You'll notice immediate refreshing and hydrating effects with each spray. In clinical studies, 94% of participants showed measurable improvement in skin hydration after 8 hours of use. After 2 weeks of consistent use, users reported visibly plumper, more radiant skin with softened fine lines. For best results, use twice daily (morning and evening) as part of your regular skincare routine.
Use this mist in multiple ways: (1) After cleansing as a toner to prep skin for serums and moisturizers, (2) After moisturizer to boost hydration, (3) Over makeup to set and create a dewy finish, (4) Throughout the day to refresh skin and revive makeup, (5) After exercise to cool and replenish the complexion. It's a versatile product that can be used at almost any point in your routine.
This mist has a low comedogenic rating of 1 out of 5, meaning it's unlikely to clog pores for most people. Squalane, the key ingredient, has a comedogenic rating of 0 and is actually excellent for acne-prone skin. The lightweight, water-based formula absorbs quickly without leaving residue. However, everyone's skin is different, so if you're extremely clog-prone, introduce it gradually and monitor your skin's response.
The Period After Opening (PAO) is 12 months. Once opened, use within one year for optimal freshness and efficacy. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the active ingredients. The formula contains preservatives (Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin) to maintain stability, but exposure to heat or light can degrade the beneficial ingredients over time.
Verdict: The Biossance Squalane + Hyaluronic Toning Mist is an excellent choice for those seeking a clean, sustainable, multi-use hydrating mist. Its award-winning formula delivers clinically-proven hydration with two types of hyaluronic acid and plant-derived squalane. Perfect for refreshing skin, setting makeup, or boosting your skincare routine. The pregnancy-safe formula and EWG verification make it ideal for conscious consumers. While the price-per-ml is higher than drugstore alternatives and it may not be intense enough for very dry skin, the ultra-fine mist technology, clean ingredients, and versatility make it a worthwhile investment for most skin types.

Dry skin types may need to spray multiple times or follow with a richer moisturizer. Those with sensitive skin should patch test first due to the natural essential oils (lavender, geranium, mandarin). It's particularly excellent for mature skin due to the plumping hyaluronic acid.
You'll notice immediate refreshing and hydrating effects with each spray. In clinical studies, 94% of participants showed measurable improvement in skin hydration after 8 hours of use. After 2 weeks of consistent use, users reported visibly plumper, more radiant skin with softened fine lines. For best results, use twice daily (morning and evening) as part of your regular skincare routine.
Use this mist in multiple ways: (1) After cleansing as a toner to prep skin for serums and moisturizers, (2) After moisturizer to boost hydration, (3) Over makeup to set and create a dewy finish, (4) Throughout the day to refresh skin and revive makeup, (5) After exercise to cool and replenish the complexion. It's a versatile product that can be used at almost any point in your routine.
This mist has a low comedogenic rating of 1 out of 5, meaning it's unlikely to clog pores for most people. Squalane, the key ingredient, has a comedogenic rating of 0 and is actually excellent for acne-prone skin. The lightweight, water-based formula absorbs quickly without leaving residue. However, everyone's skin is different, so if you're extremely clog-prone, introduce it gradually and monitor your skin's response.
The Period After Opening (PAO) is 12 months. Once opened, use within one year for optimal freshness and efficacy. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the active ingredients. The formula contains preservatives (Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin) to maintain stability, but exposure to heat or light can degrade the beneficial ingredients over time.
Verdict: The Biossance Squalane + Hyaluronic Toning Mist is an excellent choice for those seeking a clean, sustainable, multi-use hydrating mist. Its award-winning formula delivers clinically-proven hydration with two types of hyaluronic acid and plant-derived squalane. Perfect for refreshing skin, setting makeup, or boosting your skincare routine. The pregnancy-safe formula and EWG verification make it ideal for conscious consumers. While the price-per-ml is higher than drugstore alternatives and it may not be intense enough for very dry skin, the ultra-fine mist technology, clean ingredients, and versatility make it a worthwhile investment for most skin types.
