Mixsoon Hinoki Essence [30ml]

At 30ml the Hinoki Essence stops being a bathroom-shelf fixture and becomes a portable one. The formula is unchanged — Chamaecyparis obtusa (hinoki cypress) water and 1,2-hexanediol, nothing else — but the size changes what it is for. It clears the 100ml cabin-baggage liquid limit, survives a wash bag without leaking half the bottle, and gives a customer a real four-to-six week trial of a two-ingredient essence before they commit to the large format. For wholesale buyers it is the sampling and gifting workhorse: hotel amenity sets, gift-with-purchase, travel bundles, subscription boxes and counter testers.

Key Benefits

• Cabin-legal at 30ml — fits comfortably inside the 100ml liquid allowance for hand luggage and inside a standard airport liquids bag.
• Low-risk way for a customer to test a two-ingredient formula before buying the 100ml bottle — ideal for very sensitive or elimination-routine users.
• Light watery hydration from hinoki cypress distillate that will not clash with whatever skincare is already in the suitcase.
• Naturally woody, calming aroma with no added fragrance — welcome on long flights and in dry hotel rooms.
• Alcohol-free, oil-free, fragrance-free and vegan, so it is safe to hand out as a sample across mixed skin types.
• Strong unit economics for GWP, amenity kits, travel sets and discovery bundles.

When to Use

Travel, commuting and any situation where the full routine is not coming with you. Use it morning and evening after cleansing as the hydration step, and in particular on flights, in dry hotel air conditioning and after long days outdoors when skin feels tight and hot. It is also the right size to keep in a desk drawer or gym bag for a mid-day reset, and the right format to give a customer who says their skin reacts to everything and wants to test one ingredient at a time.

How to Use

• Cleanse, or simply blot the face if you are in transit.
• Dispense three to five drops into clean palms.
• Press over cheeks, forehead and neck until fully absorbed. Repeat once if skin still feels tight.
• Follow with a moisturiser or facial oil to lock the water in — important in dry cabin air.
• For an in-flight refresh, pat over bare skin every few hours rather than spraying, to avoid disturbing others.
• Use morning and night; the small format is designed for a single-user trial cycle, not for masking or massage rituals.

Key Ingredients

• Chamaecyparis Obtusa Water (hinoki cypress distillate) — the steam distillate of the hinoki tree used as the complete base of the essence; provides the light hydration and the natural woody scent.
• 1,2-Hexanediol — humectant with antimicrobial function; the second and final ingredient in the formula.

Precautions

External facial use only; keep out of the eyes. The formula contains no acids, retinoids or vitamin C, so it introduces no photosensitivity. Because this size travels, two practical points: do not leave it in a hot car or on a sunny hotel windowsill, as the formula's only protection is 1,2-hexanediol and heat shortens its in-use life; and check the liquid rules of your specific carrier, since allowances can be stricter than the standard 100ml limit. Plant distillates can sensitise a small number of people, so patch-test before a trip rather than discovering a reaction in transit. Stop using it if redness, stinging or itching appears.
