Korean brands have long raised the bar for the global skin-care industry and, undoubtedly, our expectations. Korean beauty products, packaged in vibrant colors and adorned with adorable cartoon characters, have taken the beauty world by storm. There are numerous skin care products available, with brands originating in Korea and Japan. For example, K-beauty is one of Korea’s largest skincare brands, offering a diverse range of products. Thanks to K-beauty, double cleansing has permanently altered our skin, and Korean sunscreen formulas are simply unparalleled.
The Beauty of Joseon is a KBeauty or a Korean skincare brand that formulates products with Hanbang; which is traditional Korean herbal medicine. It has reinterpreted nature’s unchanging beauty and traditional methods in a modern way based on the wisdom of Joseon women. Based on the ‘Gyuhap Chongseo’, also referred to as the encyclopedia of the Joseon Dynasty, they preferred makeup with few colors and concentrated on keeping their skin clean and clear rather than putting on makeup and beautifying themselves. So a lot of the ingredients you’ll see in their products are what the women in the Joseon Dynasty used to achieve flawless skin. They describe themselves as Clean Hanbang Beauty which I think is just a way to differentiate themselves from the other Korean Clean Beauty brands.
