Mixsoon H.C.T. Body Mist [150ml]

H.C.T. is Mixsoon's own shorthand for the three plants the line is built on — Heartleaf (Houttuynia cordata), Centella asiatica and Jeju Tea tree — and this is the one product in that family made for the body rather than the face. It sprays through a 360° valve, so it works upside down and reaches the mid-back, shoulder blades and backs of the arms without a second pair of hands. The target is body breakouts and heat rash: the congestion that appears across the back and chest after training, after long hours in synthetic fabric, or in a humid Gulf summer where sweat sits on skin under clothing. Alongside the botanical trio it carries salicylic acid to keep follicles clear, three molecular weights of hyaluronic acid for hydration, and a deliberate forest-floral-musk fragrance built partly from Siberian fir and Atlas cedar oils — this is a scented body product, not a fragrance-free one.

Key Benefits

• Heartleaf (Houttuynia cordata) extract sits high in the formula and is the brand's signature calming botanical, used in Korean skincare for reddened, reactive, blemish-prone skin.
• Salicylic acid, a beta hydroxy acid, is the keratolytic behind the body-acne positioning — it is oil-soluble, so it can work inside a congested follicle on the back and chest.
• Triple hyaluronic acid — hyaluronic acid, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid and sodium hyaluronate together — hydrates at different depths of the surface layers without a greasy or occlusive body-lotion finish.
• Centella asiatica leaf water and tea tree leaf extract complete the H.C.T. trio, the classic Korean pairing for soothing irritation and supporting clearer-looking skin.
• Hydrolyzed gardenia florida, malt and viola tricolor (heartsease) extracts add a conditioning botanical layer typical of Mixsoon's plant-forward formulation style.
• 360° continuous spray reaches the upper back and shoulders unaided — the practical reason body mists outsell body lotions for bacne.
• A watery, fast-drying mist that can be sprayed and dressed over almost immediately, with a layered forest, floral and musk scent that gives it a genuine body-care retail hook.
• Mixsoon states the product is hypoallergenic-tested, clinically tested and suitable for sensitive skin.

When to Use

This is a body step, not a face step — keep it below the jawline. Use it straight after a shower on skin that is still slightly damp, so the hyaluronic acid has water to hold, and again after the gym, after a long day in a shirt or abaya, or any time the back, chest and shoulders feel hot and congested. It works morning or evening; the salicylic acid means evening application is the easier default, with morning use kept to areas that will stay covered. Reach for it on body-acne-prone zones — upper back, chest, shoulders, backs of the upper arms — and on the dull, bumpy texture of keratosis-pilaris-type arms where a BHA and humectant combination tends to help. It is not a leave-on face toner, not a fine-face mist, and not suitable for use around the eyes.

How to Use

Shake lightly, hold the bottle about 15–20 cm from the skin and spray in a sweeping pass across the target area — the 360° valve lets you invert it to reach the mid-back. Two or three passes over the back and chest is enough; the mist is meant to dampen the skin, not soak it. Smooth it in with the palm or simply let it dry, which takes under a minute, then dress or follow with body lotion if skin is dry. Once or twice a day is a sensible starting cadence on breakout-prone areas; build up rather than starting with several applications a day, since the formula contains a BHA. Avoid spraying onto the face, into the eyes or onto freshly shaved or waxed skin. On newly exfoliated or sensitive areas, start every other day.

Key Ingredients

• Houttuynia Cordata Extract (heartleaf) — the H in H.C.T. and Mixsoon's house calming botanical, associated with soothing redness and supporting blemish-prone skin.
• Centella Asiatica Leaf Water — the C in H.C.T.; the water-phase form of cica, the most established soothing botanical in Korean skincare.
• Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Extract — the T, sourced by Mixsoon from Jeju; the traditional K-beauty choice for oily, congestion-prone skin.
• Salicylic Acid — beta hydroxy acid (BHA), oil-soluble, used here for follicular clearing on body-acne-prone areas. Mixsoon does not publish a percentage and none is claimed.
• Hyaluronic Acid — the full-weight molecule, a surface humectant and film former.
• Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid — the low-molecular-weight fragment form, included for a lighter, faster-absorbing hydration feel.
• Sodium Hyaluronate — the stable salt form; the third leg of the triple-HA claim.
• Glycereth-25 PCA Isostearate — the mild solubiliser that keeps the oils and fragrance dispersed in a clear watery mist.
• Abies Sibirica Oil (Siberian fir) — an essential oil contributing the forest note of the scent.
• Cedrus Atlantica Bark Oil (Atlas cedar) — the woody-musk essential oil in the fragrance accord.
• Hydrolyzed Gardenia Florida Extract — a hydrolysed floral extract used as a skin-conditioning agent.
• Hydrolyzed Malt Extract — barley-malt derived conditioning agent with humectant character.
• Hydrolyzed Viola Tricolor Extract (heartsease) — a soothing botanical common in sensitive-skin formulas.
• Glycerin, Propanediol, Dipropylene Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol — the humectant and solvent base that carries the extracts and keeps the mist from drying tight.
• Fragrance — a declared perfume blend; this product is deliberately scented.

Precautions

This formula contains salicylic acid, a BHA, which can increase the skin's sensitivity to the sun. Keep treated areas covered or apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen to any exposed skin you have misted, and continue sun protection for a week afterwards — a real consideration for shoulders and upper arms in a MENA climate. Because the mist is fragranced and contains Siberian fir and Atlas cedar essential oils, it is not appropriate for customers who screen for fragrance-free or essential-oil-free products, and clients with a known pine, fir or cedar sensitivity should avoid it. For external body use only: do not spray on the face, near the eyes, on mucous membranes, or onto broken, sunburned, freshly shaved or freshly waxed skin. Do not layer it with other BHA or AHA body products in the same session. Patch test on a small area of the inner forearm before first full use, and discontinue if redness, itching, stinging or any other unusual irritation develops; consult a dermatologist if it persists. Keep away from open flame and store out of direct sunlight and high heat.
