Key actives
Tocopherolantioxidant
Tocopherol is vitamin E. It is an oil-soluble antioxidant that protects the oils in a formula from going rancid and works on skin as an emollient, and it is regularly paired with vitamin C because each keeps the other going for longer. On this mist's own ingredient list it is named twentieth.
Opuntia Ficus-Indica Stem Extractplant extract
Prickly pear cactus stem extract, from the pad rather than the fruit. The pad is full of mucilage, so the extract hydrates and leaves a cushioned feel. The panel names it first on this mist's list, beside Tocopherol.
Ocimum Sanctum Leaf Extractplant extract
Ocimum Sanctum is holy basil, or tulsi. Its leaf extract carries plant antioxidants and is used in formulas built for the look of stressed, reactive skin. The panel names it ninth on this mist's list, beside Tocopherol.
Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) Root Extractplant extract
Turmeric Root Extract carries curcuminoids, well studied plant antioxidants. It is used for the look of dullness and uneven tone, and it tints a formula faintly yellow. The panel names it eleventh on this mist's list, beside Tocopherol.
Eclipta Prostrata Extractplant extract
Eclipta Prostrata is false daisy, long used in Ayurvedic and East Asian practice. Its extract is used as a conditioning plant extract, most often in scalp and hair formulas. The panel names it twelfth on this mist's list, beside Tocopherol.
How to use
- Use it as the hydration top-up, any time skin feels tight, over or under makeup, giving it a moment to settle before the next step.
Where does this mist go in my routine?
At any point in the day, over bare skin or over makeup. Anything thinner than a mist goes on before it, and anything richer goes on after. If you are adding it to a routine you already like, give it a week on its own first, so what you see is the Tocopherol and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market mist or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Tocopherol and all. We match this mist to its Korean barcode before it reaches the shelf, which is the check that tells you which market release you are holding.
Does this mist contain fragrance?
Yes. The ingredient list names Benzyl Salicylate, Citronellol, Eugenol and Fragrance. They sit on the panel printed on this page, so you can read the position for yourself before you buy. If fragrance components are something you avoid, this mist is not the one.
What else is on the list besides Tocopherol?
Opuntia Ficus-Indica Stem Extract, Ocimum Sanctum Leaf Extract and Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) Root Extract. The order they are printed in on this mist's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Tocopherol sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Eclipta Prostrata Extract, Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract and Corallina Officinalis Extract.

How it works
The Essential Mist ; Sense Of Balance is a 35ml mist, used at any point in the day, over bare skin or over makeup. The antioxidant it is built around is Tocopherol, named twentieth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Opuntia Ficus-Indica Stem Extract, Ocimum Sanctum Leaf Extract and Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) Root Extract, so the antioxidant is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Tocopherol stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the mist format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the mist Huxley sells in Korea, Tocopherol and all.
Worth knowing
- Patch test on the inner arm first if trying a new brand's formula for the first time.
- Stop use and check the ingredient list against any known sensitivities before continuing.
