Paul Mitchell Awapuhi Moisture Mist Hydrating Spray — 8.5 fl oz, Lightweight Leave-In for Hair & Skin, Adds Shine

Paul Mitchell Awapuhi Moisture Mist is a lightweight hydrating spray that instantly refreshes and adds shine to dry hair and skin with Hawaiian awapuhi, Irish sea moss, and spirulina.

Designed for dry hair and thirsty skin, this multi-use mist delivers a surge of moisture without weighing strands down or leaving a sticky residue. The scent blends crisp cucumber and melon with soft floral notes for an uplifting finish. Paul Mitchell reformulated the packaging to include post-consumer recycled materials, reflecting the brand’s move toward more sustainable retail containers.

How does this mist hydrate hair without making it greasy?

The formula is a lightweight, leave-in spray that deposits moisture and shine without heavy oils or buttery creams. It restores surface hydration and helps smooth the cuticle for visible gloss while keeping hair touchable and moveable.

• Fine atomized spray for even coverage
• Awapuhi and spirulina for moisture and shine support
• Leaves hair soft, not weighed down

Can I use it on skin, and what should I expect?

Yes — the mist doubles as a refreshing facial and body spray. It helps revive dewy feeling, temporarily soothes dryness, and refreshes makeup or sun-warmed skin without feeling oily.

• Suitable for head-to-toe spritzing
• Quick-absorbing, non-sticky finish
• Subtle cucumber-melon fragrance for a fresh scent

How do stylists recommend using this product for daily routines?

Professionals suggest multiple uses: as a leave-in conditioner on damp hair, a mid-day refresher to revive styles, or a spray to reactivate product buildup. It’s versatile for quick touch-ups between washes or as a final shine boost after styling.

• Spritz on damp hair before styling for added hydration
• Spray over finished looks to enhance gloss and tame flyaways
• Use during the day to refresh curls or waves without re-washing

What environmental considerations come with this bottle?

Paul Mitchell has updated retail packaging to include post-consumer recycled (PCR) content and simplified caps and labels to support recyclability. Check local recycling rules for proper disposal, since pumps and a few caps remain virgin plastic.

• Retail bottles contain 30–50% PCR material
• Tubes targeted to include 25% PCR by 2026
• Labels and low-profile caps designed for easier recycling

Who is this for: Paul Mitchell Awapuhi Moisture Mist is ideal for anyone with dry or thirsty hair who wants a lightweight leave-in hydrator, shoppers seeking a convenient multipurpose beauty spray for skin and hair, and salon clients or professionals who need a quick, non-greasy refresh between services. It’s particularly useful for people who appreciate a gentle cucumber-melon scent, want visible shine without weight, and prefer brands taking steps toward more sustainable packaging.
