Foodaholic Cool & Calming Houttuynia Soothing Gel 200ml
Why Houttuynia Cordata (Eoseongcho) Is a K-Beauty Staple for Reactive Skin
Houttuynia cordata — known in Korea as eoseongcho — has been used for generations as a go-to botanical for skin that flushes, feels tight, or reacts to heat, wind, or a long day outdoors. Foodaholic's Cool & Calming Houttuynia Soothing Gel takes that traditional ingredient and formulates it into a lightweight, fast-absorbing gel built for the Australian climate: hot afternoons, aircon-dry offices, and everything in between. The texture is watery-to-gel, so it sinks in without pilling under makeup or sunscreen.
This is a daily comfort layer, not a spot treatment — think of it as the gel you reach for after a hot shower, after sun exposure, or whenever your skin feels flushed and tight and you want it to feel calmer, cooler, and more comfortable again.

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Patch test on your inner arm 24 hours before first full use, as with any new skincare product.
Does this replace my moisturiser?
No — think of it as a comfort layer you can use before or under your regular moisturiser, especially on days your skin feels flushed or tight from sun or heat.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
It's formulated to be gentle and fragrance-free, which is why we recommend it for reactive skin types — but we still suggest a patch test first, since every skin is different.
How long will 200ml last?
With daily use over the face and neck, most customers get roughly 2-3 months out of one tube.
How fast does shipping take?
Orders are picked and packed within 1-2 business days, then shipped from our partner warehouse to Australian addresses in approximately 7-14 business days depending on your location.
