How it works
The Oil ; Light and More is a 30ml face oil. The antioxidant it is built around is Tocopheryl Acetate, named eighth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Dicaprylyl Carbonate, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil and Squalane, so the antioxidant is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Tocopheryl Acetate stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the face oil format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the face oil Huxley sells in Korea, Tocopheryl Acetate and all.
Key benefits
- Carries Squalane, which is a plant-derived emollient that mimics skin's own sebum, sitting on the surface without a heavy finish.
- Formulated as a skincare formula, matched to its step in a Korean AM/PM routine rather than asked to do every job at once.
- Is the Korean-market formula from Huxley, with intact Korean-market batch coding rather than a US-reformulated substitute.

Key actives
Tocopheryl Acetateantioxidant
Tocopheryl Acetate is a stable vitamin E ester that skin converts to tocopherol. It is used as an antioxidant and a light emollient and holds up better than plain vitamin E in a formula. On this face oil's own ingredient list it is named eighth.
Dicaprylyl Carbonateemollient
Dicaprylyl Carbonate is a light, fast-spreading emollient with a notably dry finish. It is chosen where a formula has to spread thin without leaving a heavy film. The panel names it second on this face oil's list, beside Tocopheryl Acetate.
Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oilemollient
Sunflower Seed Oil is high in linoleic acid, the fatty acid dry and blemish-prone skin is often short of. It is a light, non-fragrant emollient and one of the better tolerated plant oils. The panel names it third on this face oil's list, beside Tocopheryl Acetate.
Squalaneemollient
Squalane is the stable, saturated version of squalene, a lipid human skin already makes. It is a light emollient that absorbs quickly, does not oxidise, and is one of the few oils widely considered safe for blemish-prone skin. The panel names it fourth on this face oil's list, beside Tocopheryl Acetate.
Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oilemollient
Jojoba Oil is a liquid wax rather than a true oil, and its structure is close to human sebum, which is why it absorbs so readily. It is an emollient that leaves a soft, non-greasy finish. It is named sixth on this face oil's list, alongside Tocopheryl Acetate.
Is this the Korean-market face oil or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Tocopheryl Acetate and all. We match this face oil to its Korean barcode before it reaches the shelf, which is the check that tells you which market release you are holding.
Does this face oil contain fragrance?
Yes. The ingredient list names Fragrance. It sits 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 face oil is not the one.
What else is on the list besides Tocopheryl Acetate?
Dicaprylyl Carbonate, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil and Squalane. The order they are printed in on this face oil's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Tocopheryl Acetate sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil.

People with dry, flaky skin are more likely to see a benefit from using vitamin E because it enhances moisturization.
