Origins and history
Huxley is a Korean skincare brand launched by Nordmason in December 2015 and named after writer Aldous Huxley. Its starting idea was a clear ingredient story amid complex beauty messages: prickly-pear seed oil from Morocco’s Saharan surroundings. Five initial products, developed with Samsung Pharm, expressed it through oils, essence, toner and creams.
Its development soon extended beyond facial care. Company records document body and hand care in 2017, complexion makeup in 2020, and haircare and lip products in 2023. These were successive extensions of the desert-botanical identity into new categories.
Fashion became another early connection, with New York Fashion Week collaborations involving BCBG in 2018 and Proenza in 2019. Huxley consequently developed an identity that brings together its ingredient narrative, restrained packaging, fragrance and contemporary visual language.
