Melixir Vegan Relief Facial Moisturizer

Melixir Vegan Relief Facial Moisturizer is a cooling gel-cream daily moisturizer built on a foundation of Korean medicinal plant tradition and modern microbiome-conscious formulation. It is 100% vegan, PETA-certified cruelty-free, and developed by Melixir — Korea’s first beauty B Corporation. The formula is paraben-free, artificial fragrance-free, and hypoallergenic-tested, designed specifically for skin that is oily, combination, dry, or easily sensitised.

• Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract — the dominant active base: Listed second after water, Green Tea Extract is the most abundant active in the formula — not a trace botanical. Organic Korean green tea provides the full spectrum of tea polyphenols: EGCG (Epigallocatechin Gallate), EGC, ECG, and EC — collectively among the most potent natural antioxidants documented in dermatological research.
• Oil complex — Nigella Sativa, Vitis Vinifera, Prunus Armeniaca: Three complementary oils provide the formula’s lipid nourishment layer without heaviness. Nigella Sativa (Black Cumin) Seed Oil is the hero oil — rich in Thymoquinone (a rare bioactive quinone with potent anti-inflammatory, anti-acne, antifungal, and barrier-repair properties), Linoleic Acid (~55–60%), and Oleic Acid (~20%).
• Aczero™ — patented anti-acne complex (Salix Alba Willow Bark Extract): Aczero is Melixir’s proprietary patented anti-acne active, centred on Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract, which provides natural Salicin — a beta-hydroxy glucoside that is enzymatically converted to Salicylic Acid (BHA) within the skin. This in-situ conversion delivers BHA’s keratolytic, pore-clearing, and anti-inflammatory activity in a significantly gentler, time-released manner compared to synthetic Salicylic Acid.
• Cladosiphon Okamuranus (Okinawa Mozuku Seaweed) Extract: A rare marine botanical active sourced from Mozuku, an edible brown seaweed endemic to Okinawa, Japan — the world’s longest-lived population and a key reference point for skin longevity research.
• Multi-plant botanical soothing complex: Melia Azadirachta (Neem) Leaf and Flower Extracts contribute Nimbidin and Quercetin-derived anti-inflammatory and antibacterial compounds that complement Aczero’s anti-acne activity. Coffea Arabica (Coffee) Seed Extract provides Chlorogenic Acid and Caffeic Acid.
• 4-humectant moisture system and silicone texture base: Deep, lasting hydration is delivered through a layered humectant system — Glycerin (primary; skin-identical; barrier-active at high concentrations), Diglycerin (a glycerin dimer with superior hygroscopic capacity and a lighter feel than glycerin alone), Propanediol (corn-derived; Ecocert-approved.

How to Use:

• Use as the final step of your skincare routine, after toner and serum.
• Apply a moderate amount (approximately a pea-sized amount for the 15ml; 1–2 pumps for the 80ml) to the palm of the hand.
• Gently massage into freshly cleansed skin across the entire face, avoiding the eye and mouth areas.
• Pat lightly with fingertips to aid absorption — do not rub vigorously.
• Use morning and night daily. Can be used as a cooling pack by applying a thicker layer and leaving for 5–10 minutes before gently patting in the excess.
• Use within 12 months of opening.
