Connect with the Spirit Realm Using the Witchcraft Molecule Mist

The concept of a "witchcraft molecule mist" may seem fantastical and unfamiliar to many, but it is an intriguing idea nonetheless. It conjures images of a mystical concoction that holds supernatural powers, capable of weaving spells and invoking enchantments. While such a substance does not actually exist in reality, it serves as an interesting metaphor for the mysterious nature of certain molecules and their effects on the human body and mind. In the realm of science, molecules are the building blocks of matter. They are composed of atoms, intricately bonded together to form various substances. Some molecules, when introduced into the body, can profoundly impact our physiology and perception, much like the effects attributed to witchcraft.

Thayers Alcohol-Free Witch Hazel Facial Mist is formulated with certified organic Witch Hazel and Aloe Vera. Made with 98% Natural Origin Ingredients.

Thayers only considers an ingredient to be of natural origin if it is unchanged from its natural state or has undergone processing, but retains greater than 50 of its molecular structure from its original natural source. RejuvenOx Perfluorodecalin An oxygen moisturizing agent that works to hydrate the stratum corneum and decrease the trans-epidermal water loss, thus increasing the smoothness and softness of the skin.

Some molecules, when introduced into the body, can profoundly impact our physiology and perception, much like the effects attributed to witchcraft. These molecules may act as potent drugs or toxins, altering our mood, cognition, and even consciousness. This notion becomes even more intriguing when considering the concept of a "mist.

Also-called: Witch Hazel Leaf Extract;Hamamelis Virginiana Leaf Extract | What-it-does: soothing, antimicrobial/antibacterial, astringent

The extract created from the leaves of the hazelnut-bush-like-magic-tree, commonly called Witch Hazel. We have gone into detail about Witch Hazel in cosmetic products here (it's astringent, soothing, antioxidant and antibacterial), but the important part to know about the leaves is that they contain much, much less active components than the bark. In fact, it contains hardly any tannins (only 0.04%) and the most active component in the leaves is the antibacterial gallic acid.

Too many tannins can be very astringent and irritating to the skin, so this is not necessarily a bad thing. Even the small amount of active components in the leaves seem to give it nice soothing, astringent, and antibacterial properties.

Good old water, aka H2O. The most common skincare ingredient of all. You can usually find it right in the very first spot of the ingredient list, meaning it’s the biggest thing out of all the stuff that makes up the product.

It’s mainly a solvent for ingredients that do not like to dissolve in oils but rather in water.

Once inside the skin, it hydrates, but not from the outside - putting pure water on the skin (hello long baths!) is drying.

One more thing: the water used in cosmetics is purified and deionized (it means that almost all of the mineral ions inside it is removed). Like this, the products can stay more stable over time.

Propanediol is a natural alternative for the often used and often bad-mouthed propylene glycol. It's produced sustainably from corn sugar and it's Ecocert approved.

It's quite a multi-tasker: can be used to improve skin moisturization, as a solvent, to boost preservative efficacy or to influence the sensory properties of the end formula.

• A multi-functional skincare superstar with several proven benefits for the skin
• Great anti-aging, wrinkle smoothing ingredient used at 4-5% concentration
• Fades brown spots alone or in combination with amino sugar, acetyl glucosamine
• Increases ceramide synthesis that results in a stronger, healthier skin barrier and better skin hydration
• Can help to improve several skin conditions including acne, rosacea, and atopic dermatitis

Also-called: Glycerol | What-it-does: skin-identical ingredient, moisturizer/humectant | Irritancy: 0 | Comedogenicity: 0

• A natural moisturizer that’s also in our skin
• A super common, safe, effective and cheap molecule used for more than 50 years
• Not only a simple moisturizer but knows much more: keeps the skin lipids between our skin cells in a healthy (liquid crystal) state, protects against irritation, helps to restore barrier
• Effective from as low as 3% with even more benefits for dry skin at higher concentrations up to 20-40%
• High-glycerin moisturizers are awesome for treating severely dry skin

A really multi-functional helper ingredient that can do several things in a skincare product: it can bring a soft and pleasant feel to the formula, it can act as a humectant and emollient, it can be a solvent for some other ingredients (for example it can help to stabilize perfumes in watery products) and it can also help to disperse pigments more evenly in makeup products. And that is still not all: it can also boost the antimicrobial activity of preservatives.

A 100% natural and plant-derived moisturizer that mimics the natural carbohydrate fraction found in the upper layer of the skin. Its special magic power is to bind to the skin stronger and longer than other moisturizer ingredients do so it can keep the skin hydrated longer than usual.

We don't have description for this ingredient yet.

A type of sugar that has water-binding properties and helps to keep your skin hydrated.

It’s a handy multi-tasking ingredient that gives the skin a nice, soft feel. At the same time, it also boosts the effectiveness of other preservatives, such as the nowadays super commonly used phenoxyethanol.

The blend of these two (caprylyl glycol + phenoxyethanol) is called Optiphen, which not only helps to keep your cosmetics free from nasty things for a long time but also gives a good feel to the finished product. It's a popular duo.

A little helper ingredient that is used to adjust the pH of the product. It also helps to keep products stay nice longer by neutralizing the metal ions in the formula (they usually come from water).

If you have spotted ethylhexylglycerin on the ingredient list, most probably you will see there also the current IT-preservative, phenoxyethanol. They are good friends because ethylhexylglycerin can boost the effectiveness of phenoxyethanol (and other preservatives) and as an added bonus it feels nice on the skin too.

Also, it's an effective deodorant and a medium spreading emollient.

Adenosine is an important little compound in our body that has a vital cell-signalling role. Research on smearing it on our face is also promising and shows so far a couple of things:

• It can help with wound healing
• It’s a good anti-inflammatory agent
• It might even help with skin’s own collagen production and improve skin firmness and elasticity
• It helps with barrier repair and protection
• It might be even useful for the hair helping with hair thickness and hair growth

The essential oil coming from the leafs of the lovely herb, rosemary. It contains several fragrant components, including the well-known irritant, camphor (around 15%). It has a nice smell, is a potent antioxidant and it's also an antimicrobial agent.

If your skin is sensitive, it's probably a good idea to avoid it.

Super common little helper ingredient that helps products to remain nice and stable for a longer time. It does so by neutralizing the metal ions in the formula (that usually get into there from water) that would otherwise cause some not so nice changes.

It is typically used in tiny amounts, around 0.1% or less.

Citric acid comes from citrus fruits and is an AHA. If these magic three letters don’t tell you anything, click here and read our detailed description on glycolic acid, the most famous AHA.

So citric acid is an exfoliant, that can - just like other AHAs - gently lift off the dead skin cells of your skin and make it more smooth and fresh.

There is also some research showing that citric acid with regular use (think three months and 20% concentration) can help sun-damaged skin, increase skin thickness and some nice hydrating things called glycosaminoglycans in the skin.

But according to a comparative study done in 1995, citric acid has less skin improving magic properties than glycolic or lactic acid. Probably that’s why citric acid is usually not used as an exfoliant but more as a helper ingredient in small amounts to adjust the pH of a formulation.

A clear, slightly yellow, odorless oil that's a very common, medium-spreading emollient. It makes the skin feel nice and smooth and works in a wide range of formulas.

Butylene glycol, or let’s just call it BG, is a multi-tasking colorless, syrupy liquid. It’s a great pick for creating a nice feeling product.

BG’s main job is usually to be a solvent for the other ingredients. Other tasks include helping the product to absorb faster and deeper into the skin (penetration enhancer), making the product spread nicely over the skin (slip agent), and attracting water (humectant) into the skin.

It’s an ingredient whose safety hasn’t been questioned so far by anyone (at least not that we know about). BG is approved by Ecocert and is also used enthusiastically in natural products. BTW, it’s also a food additive.

Also-called: Sunflower Oil Unsaponifiables | What-it-does: soothing, skin-identical ingredient, emollient

The unsaponifiable part of sunflower oil. It's the small part of the oil that resists saponification, the chemical reaction that happens during soap making.

If you want to understand saponification more, here is a short explanation (if not, we understand, just skip this paragraph): Oils are mostly made up of triglyceride molecules (a glycerin + three fatty acids attached to it) and during the soap making process a strong base splits the triglyceride molecule up to become a separate glycerin and three soap molecules (sodium salts of fatty acids). The fantastic Labmuffin blog has a handy explanation with great drawings about the soap-making reaction.

So, the triglyceride molecules are the saponifiable part of the oil, and the rest is the unsaponifiable part. In the case of sunflower oil, it's about 1.5-2% of the oil and consists of skin nourishing molecules like free fatty acids (fatty acids not bound up in a triglyceride molecule, it contains mainly (48-74% according to its spec) barrier building linoleic acid), tocopherol (vitamin E) and sterols.

According to manufacturer's info, it's an oily ingredient that not only simply moisturizes the skin but also has great lipid-replenishing and soothing properties. The clinical study done by the manufacturer (on 20 people) found that a cream with 2% active increases skin moisturization by 48.6% after 1 hour, and 34.2% after 24 hours. Applied twice daily for 4 weeks, the study participants had a major improvement in skin dryness, roughness, and desquamation (skin peeling) parameters.

This ingredient name is not according to the INCI-standard. :( What, why?!

A type of sugar that has water-binding properties and helps to keep your skin hydrated.

" A mist typically refers to a suspension of tiny droplets in the air, creating a hazy atmosphere. In the context of a "witchcraft molecule mist," it suggests an ethereal substance that pervades the environment, potentially influencing those who come into contact with it. The idea of a molecule mist with witchcraft-like properties brings to mind the mystical practices of alchemy and potion-making. Throughout history, humans have sought to harness the power of nature to create transformative elixirs. While these endeavors often relied on superstition and folklore rather than scientific principles, they demonstrate our innate fascination with altering and augmenting our experiences. In reality, molecules with psychoactive properties do exist. Substances such as psychoactive drugs, hallucinogens, and even certain neurotransmitters can profoundly impact our thoughts, emotions, and perceptions. They interact with receptors in the brain, altering neural activity and leading to various effects. These molecules can induce hallucinations, euphoria, relaxation, or altered states of consciousness. However, it is crucial to approach such substances with caution and respect for their potential dangers. Just as witchcraft was often associated with both beneficial and harmful effects, molecules with psychoactive properties can also have adverse consequences, including addiction, psychosis, and other mental health complications. Although there is no literal "witchcraft molecule mist" that magically imbues individuals with supernatural powers, the metaphor serves as a reminder of the mysterious and powerful influence that certain molecules can possess. The study of these molecules and their effects on the human body and mind is an ongoing pursuit, bridging the gap between science and the realms of imagination and belief..

Reviews for "Manifesting Desires with the Witchcraft Molecule Mist"

1. John - ★☆☆☆☆

I was really excited to try the Witchcraft molecule mist after hearing so many great reviews, but I was left disappointed. The scent was way too overpowering and gave me a headache within minutes of spraying it in my room. The mist itself also left a sticky residue on my furniture and linens, which was difficult to remove. I had high hopes for this product, but unfortunately, it did not live up to my expectations.

2. Sarah - ★★☆☆☆

I was drawn to the Witchcraft molecule mist because of its claims of creating a relaxing atmosphere and promoting better sleep. However, I found the scent to be quite artificial and synthetic, which was off-putting. Moreover, I didn't notice any significant improvement in my sleep quality or overall relaxation. I was really hoping this product would provide the calming effect it promised, but I was left underwhelmed.

3. Jessica - ★★☆☆☆

I was not impressed with the Witchcraft molecule mist at all. The scent was too overwhelming for my taste, and it lingered in my room for hours. Additionally, the mist didn't seem to disperse evenly, leaving some areas of the room saturated with the fragrance while others had no scent at all. I tried adjusting the amount and frequency of spraying, but nothing seemed to work. Overall, this product did not meet my expectations, and I won't be repurchasing it.
