MitoAURA™: Red Light Therapy Enhancing Face & Body Spray

Red light therapy has exploded in popularity, and with that, many skincare brands have jumped on the trend—releasing products that claim to enhance red light therapy results. However, when you look closely, most of these formulas contain the same standard skincare ingredients you’d find in any off-the-shelf serum. At best, a few include green tea extract—an antioxidant that was highlighted in a small study over a decade ago. In that study, participants using green tea prior to red light therapy experienced enhanced outcomes, likely due to the antioxidants buffering the oxidative stress (ROS) triggered by light exposure.

MitoAURA takes things to a whole new level.

Unlike typical products, MitoAURA was developed by Mito Red Light, an industry leader in red light therapy technology. With a deep understanding of how red and near-infrared light interact with cellular biology, we spent over two years carefully formulating MitoAURA to truly synergize with light therapy—rather than simply coexist alongside it.

MitoAURA includes cutting-edge ingredients specifically chosen to amplify the cellular effects of red light: supporting mitochondrial energy production, enhancing antioxidant defenses, and promoting collagen synthesis and skin repair—core processes that light therapy is known to stimulate.

In short, MitoAURA wasn’t made by a skincare company trying to ride the red light wave. It was made by a red light therapy company that understands skin biology and designed a formula from the ground up to work with the light—at a molecular level.

You’re right—green tea, particularly its EGCG compound, offers strong antioxidant protection and has been shown to help buffer oxidative stress caused by red light therapy. It’s why green tea serums are sometimes used before light treatments.

But MitoAURA™ goes far beyond a green tea serum. For one, it includes Spirulina, which alone has a higher antioxidant capacity than green tea, measured by the ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) scale. That means it neutralizes free radicals even more effectively.

Plus, MitoAURA combines Spirulina with a synergistic antioxidant network—including lipid-stable Vitamin C, GHK-Cu, NMN, and botanical extracts—targeting oxidative stress from multiple angles, including inside the mitochondria.

More than just antioxidants, MitoAURA™ also contains light-reactive and bioactive ingredients that:

• Re-emit absorbed red light (Spirulina)
• Stimulate collagen (GHK-Cu)
• Support mitochondrial energy production (NMN)
• Activate DNA repair enzymes (Plankton Extract)
  

In short, green tea serums offer one mode of support. MitoAURA was engineered to amplify red light therapy across multiple cellular systems—antioxidant defense, energy production, and repair.

🧬 Step 1: Start with Red Light Therapy Alone

If you’re new to red light therapy, begin without using MitoAURA™.

🔹 1️⃣ Patch Test First

Use your red light device on a small area of skin for 2–3 minutes.

Wait 24 hours to check for photosensitivity (redness, itching, or irritation).

🔹 2️⃣ Gradually Increase Usage

If no sensitivity occurs, slowly increase session time over 1–2 weeks, working up to 8–10 minutes per session.

💧 Step 2: Introduce MitoAURA™ Spray

Once your skin is acclimated to red light, you can begin using the spray to enhance your results.

🔹 3️⃣ For Body Use

Spray 2–4 pumps directly onto clean skin in the treatment area.

Gently massage the spray into the skin.

Use immediately before your red light therapy session.

🔹 4️⃣ For Face Use

Spray 1–2 pumps into your hands.

Gently pat and smooth the spray over your face.

❗Do not spray directly onto your face to avoid contact with the eyes.

MitoAURA is a breakthrough formulation engineered specifically to enhance and synergize with red light therapy. It features a curated blend of light-reactive ingredients, antioxidants, and skin-nourishing compounds that work in harmony with light to maximize its effects.

One of the key ingredients, spirulina extract, contains phycocyanin, a pigment-protein that absorbs orange-red wavelengths (590–640nm) and re-emits them at a deeper-penetrating red wavelength (~660nm) through a phenomenon known as the Stokes shift. This helps extend the energy of red light deeper into the skin—where collagen synthesis and mitochondrial activity are most active.

MitoAURA also includes plankton extract, which contains photosomes—enzyme complexes shown in studies to support DNA repair in response to light exposure. These enzymes help protect skin cells from oxidative damage and support recovery after light therapy or UV stress.

Additionally, the formula is rich in antioxidants such as ascorbic acid (vitamin C), copper peptides, and NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide), which support mitochondrial energy production, cellular repair, and resilience. These antioxidants help neutralize free radicals generated during light exposure, promoting healthier, more balanced skin.

Combined with soothing botanicals like chamomile, cucumber, and aloe vera, and skin-supportive nutrients like sunflower sprout extract and Coccinia indica, MitoAURA helps create the ideal environment for your skin to absorb, process, and respond to red light therapy.

In short, MitoAURA doesn’t just support light therapy—it amplifies it, extends its benefits, and helps your skin make the most of every session.

Absolutely. While MitoAURA is designed to complement red light therapy, it’s a powerful standalone formula that hydrates, soothes, and supports overall skin health. Many of its ingredients interact beneficially with light—making it a great option before or after natural sun exposure as well. That said, MitoAURA is not a substitute for sunscreen, and we recommend practicing common-sense sun habits: avoid overexposure and never allow your skin to burn.

MitoAURA was designed with skin health and red light therapy synergy in mind, and many of its ingredients—like spirulina extract, plankton extract, and copper peptides—have properties that may help soothe inflammation and support the skin barrier, which can be beneficial for rosacea-prone skin.

However, individual responses vary, and we want to be transparent: certain ingredients in the formula may cause sensitivity in some people with rosacea. For example:

• Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C): While it’s a powerful antioxidant and collagen booster, in its pure form it has a low pH that may possibly trigger stinging or redness in sensitive or rosacea-prone skin.
  
• Vanillyl Butyl Ether: This ingredient creates a mild warming sensation and enhances microcirculation—great for some skin types and for improving uptake of the active ingredients - but potentially problematic for rosacea, as increased blood flow can exacerbate flushing or irritation.
  

For this reason, we recommend performing a patch test before full use. Apply a small amount to the inside of your forearm or a less sensitive area and wait 24 hours to check for any adverse reaction. If you’re under a dermatologist’s care, we encourage you to share the ingredient list with them before using.

Our team is committed to transparency and safety, and we’re happy to help answer any specific concerns about ingredients or compatibility with your skin.

For optimal results, apply MitoAURA immediately before and (if desired) after your red light therapy session. Using it beforehand helps prep the skin with light-reactive compounds like spirulina, plankton extract, and NMN, which enhance light absorption, support mitochondrial function, and amplify red light’s regenerative effects. Applying it post-session may help soothe the skin, replenish antioxidants, and support cellular repair.

Beyond light therapy, MitoAURA is also ideal for:

– to help calm, rehydrate, and support DNA repair mechanisms

– to refresh the skin and reduce oxidative stress

– for maintaining hydration, skin resilience, and a healthy glow

While MitoAURA contains ingredients that interact beneficially with light—including sunlight—it is not a sunscreen. Always practice smart sun exposure habits and avoid overexposure or burning.

Whether you’re using it as part of your red light routine or as a daily skin vitality booster, MitoAURA works best when used consistently.
