Ectoin
Ectoin is found in microorganisms living in Earth's most extreme environments: salt flats, hot springs, and deserts. It creates an invisible skin barrier shield against everyday pollution and blue light from phones and screens, while locking in moisture. We borrowed nature's best survival trick and put it in your backpack.
Calming Cactus
Cactus plants survive in the desert by holding onto water like nothing else in nature. Our Opuntia Cactus extract brings that same ability to your skin - delivering 24-hour hydration that won't clog pores, making it ideal for acne-prone and sensitive skin types.
One bottle. Infinite refills.
Here's the thing: we want to be around for a while, and so does the planet. That's why every Prereq product is designed to be refillable from day one. Buy the bottle once, then just pop in a refill when you run out. It's better for the environment, easier on your budget, and honestly just makes more sense. Plus, your cute bottle stays cute.
Frequently Asked Questions

Most face mists are basically water with a fancy label. Plain water evaporates quickly and can actually pull moisture from your skin as it dries. This hydrating face mist is formulated with Glycerin, Sodium Hyaluronate (hyaluronic acid), and Calming Cactus extract - ingredients that actively draw in and lock moisture into the skin barrier for up to 24 hours.
