Misting Instructions
Thank you for purchasing our AO+ Mist! We have been producing this Mist with the same patented, probiotic formula for 12+ years, including when it was sold as Mother Dirt and AO+ Restorative Mist. Learn about this Mist below and if you have further questions, you can reach us at shop@aobiome.com. Happy Misting!
Important Update About Shipping Temperatures:
We ship AOB products in insulated envelopes with cold packs to mitigate temperature extremes, both hot and cold. Our AOBs are living organisms and therefore sensitive to their environment. As a soil-based bacteria, they are able to survive in much the same temperatures as humans - freezing will kill them, as will long exposure to extremely high temperatures. They can handle short-term exposure to higher temperatures up to 95°F for several days.
Your package arriving warm is okay with the ice packs melted and has no impact on the product's life or potency. If your package arrives either hot or frozen solid, please contact us at shop@aobiome.com
How to Mist
Restoring your microbiome is not rocket science — just shake & spray.
Shake before you spray.
The Mist is safe to use anywhere on your skin: face, scalp, underarms, groin, hands, feet, etc. The AOBs in the Mist are especially effective in areas you sweat.
AOB TEAM NOTE: The AOBs will settle to the bottom of the bottle over time, so shaking will redistribute them evenly.
Spray skin 2-3 times before other products.
The Mist is safe to use anywhere on your skin. We recommend using it as the first step in your routine, after cleansing your skin (optional) and before other topical products like lotions, serums, makeup, and SPF.
PRO TIP: We are all different, so experiment to find what is right for you. You can end your routine with a spritz as well!
Repeat twice a day, or as needed.
You can never have too much of a good thing! Spritz throughout the day, after a shower, post-workout, or whenever you need a refresh. Hotter months mean more sweating, so an extra couple of sprays will keep your AOBs primed and ready.
PRO TIP: Use the Mist at night before bed. It provides a cool, relaxing feeling and we sweat a lot when we sleep, giving the AOBs lots of energy to work.
Store in the fridge to keep your AOBs healthy.
Keep your Mist refrigerated for best results. The Mist lasts 6 months in the fridge, 4 weeks at room temperature (68℉-86℉). As a soil based bacteria, they are able to survive in much the same temperatures as humans.
AOB TEAM NOTE: While AOBs can easily handle exposure to temperatures up to 95°F for several days, if your Mist bottle arrives hot (warm is ok) or frozen solid, contact us at shop@aobiome.com for a replacement.
Top 5 Questions from New Customers
Visit our FAQ page for more answers.
What's in the Mist?
The Mist is made up of simple, all-natural ingredients: water, nitrosomonas eutropha (our patented live AOB culture), disodium phosphate and magnesium chloride (natural salts to stabilize the AOBs).
What products can I use with the Mist?
You don't need to change your current health and beauty products to use the Mist. However, some products don't support your skin's overall microbiome and may strip away the AOBs you've added to your skin. We recommend natural, simple products like cleansers without sulfates or preservatives and squalane-based moisturizers or a similar non-comedogenic moisturizing agent that works with your natural oils and doesn't clog pores.
How long until I start seeing results?
Some customers see results almost immediately, depending on their skin concern. Most customers see results within 2 to 4 weeks.
How long does a bottle of Mist last?
A bottle lasts most customers for 1-3 months, depending on their daily usage and time of year. If a bottle lasts you more than a month, make sure to store your Mist in the fridge to maintain maximum benefits.
What if the Mist doesn’t work for me?
We have a 30-day return policy – email us at shop@aobiome.com to start a return.
