Hey everyone! 

So K-beauty has obviously gotten super popular globally and I love it too, but I’ve been noticing something interesting that a lot of these products are actually based on traditional Korean ingredients!

It got me wondering how much we actually know about the traditional roots behind our favorite serums and creams.

I’ve seen mung beans in some formulations, and even came across a product that had kimchi extract in it! 

Now I’m really curious :

✨️ What other traditional Korean ingredients have you noticed in K-beauty?

✨️ Are there any equivalents in Chinese or Japanese beauty? Or from other parts of Asia?

Would love to hear what you all think! Sometimes I feel like these heritage ingredients don’t get the spotlight they deserve. 

Let’s chat!
