Dr. Mist utilizes just pure water, concentrated salt and minerals to form a fluid spray that evaporates 4 times faster than ordinary water. Once the fluid evaporates it leaves a thin layer of very fine powder, a combination of salt and minerals on the skin. This fine powdery residue acts as a protective barrier to block and kill bacteria. Without the presence of bacteria reacting on sweat, there is no unpleasant odor. The unique combination of water and mineral salts means that Dr. Mist is unlike any conventional deodorant. It is non-greasy, non-irritating, non-toxic and does not contain any fragrance, artificial colorings, cream, oil or alcohol.
