A body mist is a cosmetic product used to lightly fragrance the body. It is a popular product during the summer months due to its cooling and refreshing properties. The formula composition of body mists can vary depending on the brand and specific product, but they generally consist of a mixture of water, a small amount of alcohol, and essential oils/fragrance ingredients. Some body mists may also include active ingredients that support moisturization or hydration of the skin.

Here are some positive and negative aspects of body mists:

Positive:

• Body mists are lightweight and non-sticky.
• They provide hydration and moisturization to the skin.
• They are easy to apply and can be used throughout the day to refresh and revive the skin.

Negative:

• Some commercially made body mists may contain harmful synthetic chemicals, known allergens, hormone disruptors, and irritants.
• The term "fragrance" on the ingredient list of a body mist can be a catch-all term that may include a variety of undisclosed chemicals.

Ingredients or materials used in body mists can vary depending on the brand and specific product. However, most DIY perfume mists are made of the same four basic ingredients – essential oil(s), alcohol, distilled water, and glycerin. Commercially made body mists may contain a small amount of alcohol, essential oils/fragrance ingredients, and water, and may also include active ingredients that support moisturization or hydration of the skin. Some brands may use naturally derived ingredients and avoid harmful chemicals such as phthalates, parabens, mineral oil, or propylene glycol.
