hallex Active Core Azulene Serum

A serum formulated with naturally derived, vegan components captured in zero-plastic, refillable packaging crafted from upcycled CXP forestry wood. Its key ingredients include guaiazulene at 80ppm, extracted from natural chamomile to give the serum its signature natural blue hue. It delivers soothing, anti-inflammatory, and protective properties for sensitive and compromised skin. And a ten-layer hyaluronic acid complex penetrates multiple skin layers to rebuild the moisture barrier, locking in deep hydration. A five-peptide complex stimulates collagen and elastin synthesis, improving skin elasticity, firmness, and overall texture, while Cynanchum atratum extract and Centella asiatica calm, reduce redness, and accelerate skin regeneration. The packaging, meanwhile, is entirely crafted from CXP, a material made from discarded forestry wood byproducts. This sustainable production process upcycles agricultural waste, significantly reducing carbon footprint and eliminating microplastics. The packaging is also refillable by replacing the inner serum cartridge while retaining the durable, wood-based outer shell.

Product Innovation
The innovation of hallex Active Core Azulene Serum lies in the seamless integration of high-performance clean skincare and groundbreaking zero-plastic packaging. Formulated with 80ppm Guaiazulene for its natural blue hue and potent soothing properties, it synergizes with elasticity-boosting peptides and a 10-layer Hyaluronic Acid complex. It delivers a cooling, fast-absorbing experience for sensitive skin. However, our true market differentiator is the packaging. We replaced conventional plastics with a 100% refillable container made from CXP, an upcycled forestry wood byproduct. This dual-action innovation ensures premium skin recovery while actively preventing plastic pollution, redefining sustainable beauty.
Research, Clinical Tests & Trials Results (Safety & Dermatological)
Primary Skin Irritation & Dermatological Safety Test - Study Details: Conducted by the KC Skin Clinical Research Center over a 48-hour patch test period (November 13–15, 2024). - Sample Size: 30 adult participants. - Result: The serum achieved a remarkable skin reaction index of 0.00, officially earning a "Non-irritating" classification. This clinically guarantees its supreme safety and exceptionally gentle profile for daily use on highly sensitive, compromised, or reactive skin types. Advanced Soothing & Anti-Inflammatory Efficacy (Guaiazulene) - Study Details: Research based on the formulation’s core active ingredient, 80ppm high-purity Guaiazulene extracted from natural Chamomile. - Result: Clinical ingredient research demonstrates powerful anti-inflammatory benefits that actively suppress external harmful substances. It effectively lowers skin temperature, instantly relieves heat-induced stress, and visibly reduces redness and irritation caused by environmental aggressors such as UV rays and micro-dust. Deep Hydration & Elasticity Boosting (10-Layer HA & 5 Peptides) - Study Details: Formulation efficacy research evaluating the synergy of a customized 10-layer Hyaluronic Acid complex (ranging from low to high molecular weights) and a 5-Peptide complex (including Copper Tripeptide-1 and Acetyl Hexapeptide-8). - Result: Research supports that this specialized complex deeply penetrates the dermis to rebuild the compromised moisture barrier from the inside out. Simultaneously, it stimulates collagen and elastin synthesis, effectively preventing the loss of skin elasticity and smoothing uneven skin texture without leaving any sticky residue.
