SKIN QUENCH is a bioactive hydration veil designed to prep your skin before everything else. Powered by humectants, peptides and osmolytes, it delivers instant hydration while helping your skin better absorb the products that follow. Think of it as skincare for your body, lightweight, fast, and built to work harder.

Why it works

Hydrated skin performs better. SKIN QUENCH works in layers, instantly and over time, delivering multi-layer moisture and strengthening the skin barrier so your moisturiser, oil or treatment can do its job properly. Saccharide Isomerate and Sodium PCA bond hydration deep into the skin rather than sitting on the surface. Bioactive osmolytes Ectoin and Betaine form a protective shield that defends against dehydration and environmental stress. Panthenol and Beta-Glucan actively reinforce the skin barrier, keeping hydration locked in and improving comfort and resilience with every use. A smoothing peptide, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, supports improved skin texture over time, while Lactobacillus Ferment maintains a balanced, healthy skin microbiome.

The result is skin that isn't just hydrated, it's prepped, protected, and performing at its best.

SKIN QUENCH isn't limited to your morning and evening routine. Mist throughout the day, even over makeup, or apply to your body before AFTER Body Oil or ALWAYS Body Balm for an extra layer of hydration.

These are suggested complete routines. You can tailor the steps and products to your skin's individual needs.

1. What exactly does SKIN QUENCH do?

SKIN QUENCH is more than a traditional hydration mist. It's a bio-active hydration veil formulated with Ectoin, peptides, humectants and skin-supporting ingredients to deliver instant hydration, help strengthen the skin barrier and prepare your skin for the products that follow. Think of it as the first step that helps the rest of your skincare routine work harder.

2. Do I still need SKIN QUENCH if I already use a serum and moisturiser?

Yes, because they serve different purposes. SKIN QUENCH delivers lightweight hydration and helps prepare the skin for subsequent products, while serums target specific skin concerns and moisturisers help seal in moisture. Rather than replacing your existing skincare, SKIN QUENCH is designed to complement it.

3. What's the difference between SKIN QUENCH and WITH MILK Active Essence?

While both support skin hydration, they have different roles. SKIN QUENCH is a lightweight, full-body hydration veil designed to replenish moisture, support the skin barrier and prepare skin for subsequent products. WITH MILK is a facial essence formulated with niacinamide, peptides and fermented ingredients to help support skin tone, texture and overall skin condition. They can be used together, with SKIN QUENCH applied first.

4. Can I use SKIN QUENCH on both my face and body?

Absolutely. SKIN QUENCH is specifically formulated for both face and body. Its ultra-fine, lightweight mist makes it easy to hydrate areas that are often overlooked, including your neck, chest, arms and legs. It's particularly convenient after showering, when your skin is still slightly damp and ready for hydration.

5. Can I use SKIN QUENCH over makeup?

Yes. SKIN QUENCH's ultra-fine mist is designed to deliver lightweight hydration without a heavy or greasy finish, making it ideal for refreshing skin throughout the day, even over makeup. Mist lightly from a comfortable distance and allow it to settle naturally. It's not a makeup setting spray, so it isn't designed to extend makeup wear.

6. When should I apply SKIN QUENCH in my skincare routine?

SKIN QUENCH is designed to be used first, after cleansing and before your serums, moisturiser or body oil. Mist onto clean or slightly damp skin, then follow with your usual skincare. You can also use it throughout the day whenever your skin needs an extra boost of hydration.

7. Is SKIN QUENCH suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin?

SKIN QUENCH is formulated for a wide range of skin types, including dry, oily, combination and sensitive skin. Its lightweight formula contains hydrating and barrier-supporting ingredients such as Panthenol, Beta-Glucan and Ectoin, without the heaviness of a traditional cream. If your skin is particularly reactive, we recommend patch testing before use.

8. Will SKIN QUENCH leave my skin feeling sticky or greasy?

No. SKIN QUENCH is designed to deliver hydration without the heavy, sticky feeling sometimes associated with moisturising products. Its lightweight formula includes PEG-12 Dimethicone, which helps create a smooth, breathable-feeling veil on the skin. The result is skin that feels soft, refreshed and comfortably hydrated.

9. How often can I use SKIN QUENCH?

As often as your skin needs. SKIN QUENCH is designed for everyday use, morning and night, and can be reapplied throughout the day. It's particularly useful when your skin feels dry or dehydrated, after showering, or during travel when environmental conditions can leave skin feeling uncomfortable.

10. Can SKIN QUENCH help with dehydrated skin and a compromised skin barrier?

SKIN QUENCH is formulated with ingredients that help support skin hydration and barrier function. Ectoin and Betaine help protect against moisture loss, while Panthenol and Beta-Glucan help support skin comfort and resilience. It's a useful addition to routines focused on dryness and dehydration, although persistent or severely compromised skin may require additional care.

11. Why is SKIN QUENCH different from an ordinary water-based facial mist?

Because hydration is about more than simply spraying water onto your skin. SKIN QUENCH contains a combination of humectants, osmolytes, peptides and barrier-supporting ingredients designed to attract and retain moisture while supporting skin comfort. Ingredients such as Saccharide Isomerate and Sodium PCA help bind water within the outer layers of the skin, providing more than a temporary refreshing sensation.

12. Can I use SKIN QUENCH before my body oil or moisturiser?

Absolutely, and that's one of our favourite ways to use it. Mist SKIN QUENCH onto clean skin after showering, then follow with your moisturiser or AFTER Body Oil. Applying these products while skin is still slightly damp can help support moisture retention, leaving skin feeling softer, smoother and more nourished.

13. Is SKIN QUENCH good for travelling or flying?

Yes. Cabin air, air conditioning and changes in climate can contribute to skin feeling dry and dehydrated. SKIN QUENCH provides a convenient way to replenish lightweight hydration throughout the day, making it a useful travel companion. Its 100ml size also meets the standard individual liquid-container limit for many international carry-on flights, subject to airline and airport requirements.

14. Can SKIN QUENCH help protect my skin from environmental stress?

SKIN QUENCH contains Ectoin and Betaine, two osmolytes that help support the skin's ability to retain moisture under environmental stress. These ingredients work alongside barrier-supporting Panthenol and Beta-Glucan to help maintain skin comfort and hydration. SKIN QUENCH is not a sunscreen and should always be used alongside SPF during the day.

15. Does SKIN QUENCH contain fragrance?

No added fragrance or parfum is listed in the SKIN QUENCH ingredient formula. It's designed to deliver lightweight hydration without the need for added perfume. As with any skincare product, we recommend checking the full ingredient list if you have known sensitivities.

16. Is SKIN QUENCH suitable during pregnancy and breastfeeding?

Yes SKIN QUENCH is pregnancy and breastfeeding safe. 

17. Is SKIN QUENCH made in New Zealand and cruelty-free?

Yes. SKIN QUENCH is proudly made in New Zealand and cruelty-free, reflecting ed&i's commitment to performance-focused skincare that combines science-backed ingredients with thoughtful formulation.

Veil-former

Saccharide Isomerate + Sodium PCA

These two work together to pull moisture deep into the skin and bind it there, not just sit on the surface like basic humectants. Saccharide Isomerate is a plant-derived carbohydrate complex that mimics the skin's natural moisturising structure, creating long-lasting hydration that lasts hours after application. Sodium PCA is one of the skin's own natural moisturising factors, meaning it integrates seamlessly and holds water effectively without feeling heavy.

Ectoin + Betaine

The stress-shield Osmolytes are molecules that help cells maintain balance under stress, heat, pollution, UV exposure, dehydration. Ectoin, originally found in microorganisms living in extreme environments, forms a protective hydration shell around skin cells. Betaine, derived from sugar beets, works alongside it to prevent moisture loss and calm stressed skin. Together they make Skin Quench more than a hydrator, they make it a defender.

Panthenol + Beta-Glucan

Barrier builders Panthenol (provitamin B5) penetrates deep into the skin, converts to pantothenic acid, and actively repairs and strengthens the skin barrier. Beta-Glucan is a polysaccharide derived from oats that soothes, reduces redness, and supports the skin's natural resilience. Together they ensure the hydration delivered by Skin Quench doesn't just arrive, it stays.

Acetyl Hexapeptide-8

A signal peptide that communicates with skin cells to improve texture and firmness over time. While the humectants and osmolytes deliver immediate hydration, this peptide is doing the longer-term work, visibly softening skin and supporting a smoother, more even appearance with continued use.

Lactobacillus Ferment

A fermented ingredient derived from beneficial bacteria that helps maintain the skin's natural microbiome balance. Healthy skin is home to billions of microorganisms that protect it — this ingredient supports that ecosystem, contributing to overall skin resilience and a calmer, more balanced complexion over time.

Glycerin + Propanediol

The reliable workhorses. Glycerin draws water from the environment into the skin. Propanediol enhances penetration and acts as a lightweight carrier that helps the bioactive ingredients absorb efficiently. Both are well-tolerated, gentle, and effective at every skin type.

PEG-12 Dimethicone

This is what gives Skin Quench its signature lightweight, non-sticky finish. It forms an ultra-fine film on the skin that smooths texture, enhances the mist's spreadability, and creates that soft-focus "veil" feel without occlusion, meaning it doesn't block the bioactives from doing their job.
