Mixsoon: This Korean skincare brand will be your new favourite
No seriously, you’ll rush to Glam Touch UK to buy everything.
#Gifted products from the Glam Touch X Mixsoon launch event.
“Healthy skin starts with good ingredients'' – that’s the motto of this Korean skincare company which boasts the very best high-quality raw ingredients by removing anything that isn’t necessary in their products. Mixsoon, ‘Mix’ meaning ‘collaboration in harmony’ and ‘Soon’ meaning ‘pure ingredients’, ensures customers receive the highest quality products by keeping things minimal.
Several of their products, including their Centella Asiatica Essence, contain only one ingredient – yes, you read that right – and they even have their own plantation farm on Jeju Island where they grow the Centella Asiatica used in their products. This means that they don’t have to ruin the quality of their ingredients by shipping it overseas before production, as this process would usually involve the use of harmful preservatives.
The extraction process used by Mixsoon also guarantees that their products are made from the highest quality ingredients. Skincare companies usually extract ingredients using high temperatures, but Mixsoon uses a low-temperature, high-frequency method which means that the useful ingredients won’t be harmed during extraction and stay effective.
Not only is Mixsoon leading the way for minimal Korean skincare companies with home-grown raw ingredients, they are also taking steps towards becoming more sustainable. They aim to replace their plastic packaging entirely by the end of the year and have already swapped out the plastic bottles of their Centella Asiatica Essence for a more sustainable glass option.
And that’s not all! If this hadn’t already swayed you to add every product to your Glam Touch basket, Mixsoon’s impact on the wider community will definitely have you rushing to purchase. Any purchase of their products featuring ‘Soondy’, the cute bear mascot, will see monthly donations given to an environmental group in Korea to help combat global warming and reduce global carbon emissions.
Their ‘Mixsoon Life’ line also features the work of autistic artists, whom Mixsoon supports long term by regularly donating to autism charities and hosting events to promote their artwork. They also recently collaborated with Korean Beauty Influencer UNA whose Master Line is a donation collaboration project for disabled artists to develop a platform which will help them to become economically independent.
Products you won’t want to miss
Editor’s note: Last month I had the privilege of attending the Glam Touch X Mixsoon launch event to celebrate Glam Touch becoming the exclusive UK stockist of the famous minimal skincare brand. The following products were gifted at the event.
Mixsoon Bean Essence.
Mixsoon’s best-selling Bean Essence has risen to virality numerous times and the brand has received over 10,000 reviews for this product – famous for its addictive natto (fermented soybean) like texture. After massaging this essence into your skin for several minutes, the appearance of blackheads and sebum is drastically reduced and the skin is left clean and moisturised.
Mixsoon Bean Cream.
Following on from the Bean Essence, Mixsoon’s Bean Cream boasts a similar natto-like texture that is more thick and creamy to deeply nourish and hydrate the skin. The Bean Ferment extract within this product can help brighten your dull complexion, and reduce the appearance of uneven skin tone with consistent use. Glam Touch Founder Sen Vu swears by this product!
Mixsoon X UNA Master Serum.
One product from Mixsoon’s collaboration with UNA that you won’t want to miss is the UNA Master Serum. This all-in-one serum features only five essential products, Centella Asiatica Extract, Bifida Ferment Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, and Panthenol, all of which work in harmony to sooth and strengthen the skin barrier.
The magic that is Centella Asiatica Essence
Grown on the Mixsoon plantation farm in Jeju Island, the Centella Asiatica Essence has undergone rigorous testing to ensure that it provides the best care for your sensitive skin. It is proven to reduce skin irritation by a staggering 27.01% and has been evaluated as a non-irritating product with 0.00 point of skin irritation.
And as if this product couldn’t get any better, there are several ways to use it effectively depending on your skin concern.
Single-use: Apply this product directly to your face and neck for a highly targeted experience and feel your skin become less irritated in a matter of seconds.
Skin pack: Apply a decent amount of this serum to several cotton pads. Place the soaked pads on your face and leave them on for about 10 minutes for intensive care.
Mist care: Pour this essence into a spray bottle for on-the-go use. It can be used under or over makeup and will work effectively either way.
Mix-soon: For a different experience, mix your Centella Asiatica Essence with the Bifida essence in a ratio of 5:5 and apply as normal to the skin. This mix of products will hydrate and nourish your dry skin.
