What is Heartleaf

A chosen active, for a reason

Heartleaf (Houttuynia cordata) is a botanical traditionally used in East Asian skincare for its soothing and calming properties. Mirava selected Heartleaf for its gentle role in helping skin feel calmer and more comfortable, particularly when it is prone to visible signs of sensitivity.

In Mirava formulations, Heartleaf works alongside complementary barrier-supporting ingredients such as Centella and ceramides. This creates a more considered approach to soothing — pairing immediate comfort with support for the skin barrier.

The Science

How Heartleaf works on skin

Heartleaf (Houttuynia cordata) contains naturally occurring compounds that have been studied for their antioxidant and soothing properties. In topical skincare, Heartleaf is valued for helping skin feel calmer and more comfortable, particularly when it is prone to visible signs of stress.

Its role in the Mirava formula is complementary rather than isolated. Heartleaf is paired with barrier-supporting ingredients such as ceramides and Centella, creating a formulation approach that supports both skin comfort and barrier resilience.
