GYEOL HAUS Hydration JOJOBA Essence Mist

What is this product?

GYEOL HAUS Hydration JOJOBA Essence Mist is an 80 ml two-layer face mist, oil over water, shaken and sprayed straight after cleansing. Its 45 entry Korean statutory list leads with water, prints jojoba seed oil at 11.2 percent, then squalane, and carries niacinamide, gluconolactone (a PHA the brand puts at 1.5 percent), eight hyaluronic acid entries and a ferment extract. It has two essential oils, ylang ylang and patchouli, and ends with the declared allergen linalool; there is no fragrance entry. It is not a filed functional cosmetic. A brand study on 20 adults over two weeks reports higher skin moisture and lower water loss, without printed baseline values or a control; the zero irritation and sensitive skin claims are not covered by that study, and the organic jojoba claim is not confirmed by the list. Suited to dry or combination skin that feels tight after cleansing; sensitive skin and people avoiding essential oils should take care.
