A story about craftsmanship, nourishment, and learning to care with presence.
What happens when a decorative antique restorer, a nutritional therapist, and a yoga teacher create a skincare line?
You get hux+mū, a philosophy of care rooted in restoration, nourishment, and rhythm.
It didn’t arrive all at once. It came slowly, through experience. One practice informed the next, until I realised they weren’t separate at all - but part of the same approach: to pay attention, to preserve what matters, and to care deeply for what’s already there.
Restoration: Respecting What Has Been Left Behind
My first language was craftsmanship.
I spent years restoring antiques, gilding 18th-century painted furniture, cleaning back old layers of paint, preserving patina without stripping away the story. The process taught me how to work with care. To know when to intervene, and when to step back.
It wasn’t about making things look new. It was about bringing presence to something that had endured.
That approach now lives in everything I create at hux + mū.
Skincare isn’t about changing what’s there, it’s about recognising the beauty that remains, and supporting it gently.
Especially in midlife, our skin holds experience. It doesn’t need to be fixed. It needs to be fed, held, and treated with quiet respect.
Nutrition: Feeding What’s Been Depleted
Training as a nutritional therapist shifted my focus from surface to source.
It taught me to listen… really listen, to what the body is asking for. Our skin is deeply responsive to how we live: to our diets, our stress levels, our hormones, our sleep. It reflects what’s missing as much as what’s present.
That’s why every hux + mū formula begins with a synergistic blend of nourishing oils and proven actives, carefully chosen to support maturing, sensitive skin.
We work with:
- Cold-pressed seed oils, rich in omega fatty acids to deeply nourish and rebuild
- Bisabolol, a calming, plant-derived compound known for reducing reactivity
- Ceramides, squalane, and phytosterols to support barrier repair and skin resilience
These ingredients feed the skin the way we would nourish the body, with care, simplicity, and intention.
When skin is supported in this way, it doesn't need to be pushed. It finds its own balance again.
Ritual: Returning to the Body
Yoga taught me how to be present, to notice, to soften, to breathe.
That practice lives at the heart of every product in this range. hux + mū was created not just to nourish skin, but to offer a moment. A pause. A quiet return to the body.
Our skincare rituals aren’t complex. They’re not designed to take up space, they’re designed to give it back.
Whether it's gently cleansing your face at the end of the day, or pressing in a few drops of oil in the morning, these acts are about rhythm. A way to anchor the body, even briefly, in the now.
It’s in these small rituals that we begin to restore ourselves… not just our skin.
A Philosophy of Care
So what happens when a restorer, a therapist, and a yoga teacher create skincare?
You get products designed with precision and purpose.
You get rituals that restore rhythm to your day.
You get skincare that honours age, respects time, and works with the skin not against it.
At its core, hux + mū is a slow, steady invitation to return to yourself.
To notice.
To nourish.
To care for what already holds beauty.
And most importantly, you get a quiet invitation to honour the story your skin is already telling, with care, respect, and a deep appreciation for all it holds.
