This document describes twistMist, a new propellant-free aerosol technology. It consists of a 4 ml chamber that provides a continuous spray for 5-12 seconds when twisted, without any contact between the product and a spring. The technology aims to reduce CO2 emissions by up to 90% compared to traditional aerosols. It has undergone development and technical qualification stages to optimize both its external design based on consumer feedback and internal design for automatic assembly and scaling. The innovation journey also involves a commercial qualification stage with machine assembled samples for consumer testing to change the aerosol category for good.
