How it works
My Hair Recipe Essential Hair Oil Serum is a hair oil serum, applied to the ends and lengths of the hair rather than the scalp. It is built to sit on the hair shaft, smoothing the surface and cutting down on the look of frizz and dryness at the ends. Used on damp or dry hair, it is a finishing step rather than a wash-in treatment. A small amount goes further than it looks, since a heavy application on the ends can leave hair looking weighed down rather than smoothed. It is typically the last step of a hair routine, whether that is after a wash or as a midday touch-up on dry ends.
Key benefits
- What it is: a 100ml hair oil serum from innisfree, for the hair treatment step.
- Format: a hair oil serum used on damp or dry hair, focused on the mid-lengths and ends.
- Fits into the routine: coats strands without weighing them down.
- Original Korean Formula: the version sold on Korean shelves, not a US reformulation.
Inside the formula
Inside the formula
Do I apply My Hair Recipe Essential Hair Oil Serum to wet or dry hair?
Either. It works on damp hair after washing to smooth as it dries, or on dry hair during the day as a quick touch-up on frizzy ends. That holds true whichever size or variant of this product you buy, so the same placement in a routine and the same answer apply across the line.
Can I put it on my scalp?
No, keep it on the mid-lengths and ends; applying an oil serum at the roots tends to look greasy rather than smoothed. That holds true whichever size or variant of this product you buy, so the same placement in a routine and the same answer apply across the line.
How much should I use?
A small amount, warmed between the palms first, covers most lengths; add more only if the ends still look dry. That holds true whichever size or variant of this product you buy, so the same placement in a routine and the same answer apply across the line.
Does it replace conditioner?
No, it is a finishing step used after washing and conditioning, not a replacement for either. That holds true whichever size or variant of this product you buy, so the same placement in a routine and the same answer apply across the line.
Can I use it every day?
Yes, on the ends specifically, adjusting the amount based on how dry or frizzy the hair looks that day. That holds true whichever size or variant of this product you buy, so the same placement in a routine and the same answer apply across the line.

Ingredient list read from innisfree.com on 13 September 2026.
14 of 14 explained
- Cyclopentasiloxane silicone
- Cyclopentasiloxane is a volatile silicone: it spreads a formula thin and smooth then evaporates, leaving no residue. It is the silicone behind a dry, powdery primer finish.
- Dimethiconol silicone
- Dimethiconol is a high-molecular-weight silicone that leaves a longer-lasting smooth film than dimethicone. It is used for lasting slip and shine.
- Octyldodecanol emollient
- Octyldodecanol is a branched fatty alcohol used as an emollient and as a solvent for pigments and mineral powders. It thickens slightly and leaves a soft finish.
- Camellia Japonica Seed Oil emollient
- Camellia Seed Oil is the traditional Korean and Japanese hair and skin oil, high in oleic acid. It is a light emollient that absorbs quickly for its richness.
- Trisiloxane silicone
- Trisiloxane is a very short silicone chain, so it is thin and volatile. It spreads a formula quickly and leaves almost nothing behind.
- Fragrance fragrance
- Fragrance, or Parfum, is a single declaration standing for a whole scent blend, which can be dozens of materials. Regulators allow it as a trade secret, so a list showing only this word does not say what the scent is made of. It is the most common trigger named by people with reactive skin.
- Glycolipids barrier lipid
- Glycolipids are lipids joined to a sugar. In a formula they work partly as barrier lipids and partly as mild emulsifiers, holding oil and water together.
- Glycerin humectant
- Glycerin is the most used humectant in skincare. It draws water into the outer layer of skin and holds it there, and it is one of the very few ingredients whose hydrating effect is settled science rather than marketing. Higher amounts feel tacky, which is why it is usually blended.
- Water solvent
- Water is the base almost every serum, toner and cream is built on. It dissolves the water-loving ingredients and sets how light the finished texture feels. On an INCI list it is usually first, which only means it is the largest single ingredient by weight.
- Phytosphingosine barrier lipid
- Phytosphingosine is the backbone every ceramide is built on, and skin uses it in its own lipid layer. In a formula it works with ceramides and cholesterol and also keeps the product stable against microbes.
- Camellia Japonica Flower Extract plant extract
- Camellia Japonica Flower Extract comes from the flower of the Korean camellia. It is used as a conditioning, hydrating extract.
- Camellia Japonica Leaf Extract plant extract
- The leaf extract of the Korean camellia, the same plant as the seed oil pressed on Jeju. It is used as a conditioning antioxidant extract.
2 more explained
- Hydrogenated Lecithin emulsifier
- Hydrogenated Lecithin is lecithin with its unsaturated bonds filled in, which makes it far more stable. It emulsifies and is the standard shell for the liposomes that carry actives into the outer layer of skin.
- Ceramide Np barrier lipid
- Ceramide NP is the most used cosmetic ceramide, the same class of lipid that makes up roughly half the mortar between cells in the outer layer of skin. Added to a cream it slots into that structure, which is why ceramide formulas feel less leaky rather than merely greasy.

How to use
- Warm a small amount between the palms and smooth it over the mid-lengths and ends of damp or dry hair, avoiding the scalp and roots. Use it as the last step after washing, or as a midday touch-up on dry ends that need smoothing.
Worth knowing
- Keep it away from the scalp and roots, since applying it there can leave hair looking greasy rather than smoothed.
- Start with a small amount and add more only if the ends still look dry, since too much can weigh hair down.
