Heartleaf Essence
š± Brand Story: Mixsoon is a hyperminimal brand that focuses on traditional Korean hanbang ingredients. They do not have a website in English currently, so information may have translation errors.
š± Claims: Calms inflamed, irritated skin with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant properties
Humectant properties hold onto moisture in skin
š± Key Ingredients: This product has only one ingredient, 100% Heartleaf (Houttuynia Cordata) extract
š± pH: Unknown
š± Texture: A watery liquid with no thickeners
š± Scent: None
š± Price: $38.70CA for 100mL or $0.39/mL (Photos show a mini sample size)
š± Application: Lately I have not been sleeping terribly well, and my skin has reflected that. It has been tired, puffy and dry. The first time I used this, I was actually rather amazed how much my skin perked up. Both in terms of immediate hydration, but all throughout the long day. My skin under my eyes looked and felt less puffy and tired, and dull skin looked just that much nicer. Which makes sense, as the primary function of this ingredient is calming inflammation.
š± Other uses: Since this is a watery liquid, you could put this in a spray bottle, but it is a little pricey for that.
š± Every day: Yes, this product is designed for sensitive, irritated skin
š± Notes: Being made up of a single ingredient has its benefits and drawbacks. You will easily know if you are allergic to this product or not, no guessing games. It provides an effective strength of that ingredient. The only downside is that you are not receiving a broad range of beneficial ingredients working together to become better than the sum of their parts.
š± Packaging: Mixsoon has packaged their 100% extract in a clear bottle, which leaves it vulnerable to UV damage. Remember to store this in a dark place when not in use.
š± Accessibility: I actually prefer the dropper version of the mini sample bottle to the twist off cap in the full size. The square bottle makes it easier to grip and dispense. The full size bottle is average accessibility.
š± Sustainability: With their ultra-minimalist style, Mixsoon does not overpackage their products, and both the mini sample and full size bottle are recyclable.
š± Overall: I have enjoyed this product every time I use it. I would recommend it for anyone with tired, irritated skin or damaged barrier who is looking for both an instant boost, and long term improvement. Just remember to patch test this first to see if you have a reaction to heartleaf.
š± Single ingredient products, no matter how good, will have gaps compared to well-mixed formulas
š± Clear packaging leaves the essence vulnerable to UV light, store it in a dark place
š± On the pricey side for Canadian buyers
