Key actives:

Lotus Root Water: Antioxidant-rich botanical that may help soothe and calm skin.
Pai Century Flower Hyaluronic Acid Barrier Defense Mist
This lightweight hydrating mist delivers a quick boost of moisture throughout the day. As a mist format, it provides surface-level hydration and temporary calming benefits. Botanical waters provide a soothing effect. The remaining ingredients are present in concentrations that might be too low to provide significant improvements to skin, other than hydration.
Who should use
Normal to combination skin types in need for light hydration throughout the day. Good during the day if spent in a hot and dehydrating environment inside or outdoors, but will require a moisturizer to seal the moisture in.
Who shouldn't use
It’s a very mild product that won’t significantly add to a balanced routine. If you have very dry or dehydrated skin, better seek a more targeted hydrating serum and follow with a moisturizer. A mist won't provide enough moisture on its own. If you have active breakouts or congested pores, this won't address those concerns. Skip if you're sensitive to botanical fragrances, even natural ones.
Red Flags
Contains natural fragrance from orange blossom, which can irritate sensitive or reactive skin despite being plant-derived. While the formula is clean (no alcohol, parabens, sulfates, silicones, or nut ingredients), remember that "natural" doesn't always mean non-irritating for everyone.
Supporting ingredients worth noting:
Orange Blossom & Rose Waters: Provide a refreshing scent and mild soothing effects, but may irritate sensitive skin.
Lactic Acid: Present in trace amounts. Likely helps with pH balance more than exfoliation.
