SKINFOOD isn’t a new K-Beauty brand. In fact, it’s been around since 1957. Today, it’s a global brand with products available in many regions including Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, Germany, Australia, Canada and the US.
SKINFOOD is a one-of-a-kind Korean skin care brand that combines food with skin care. Based on its philosophy that healthy skin is beautiful skin, SKINFOOD utilizes the power of food ingredients that are rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants to produce high-quality skin care products with efficacious formulas. To help consumers achieve a healthy complexion, the brand offers food-based skin care that nourishes, revitalizes and purifies skin.
With a team of researchers and developers to assist in product development, SKINFOOD scours the globe for unique natural and organic ingredients such as Brazilian black sugar, South Asian royal black honey and French grapes.
If you’re looking for sustainable beauty, you can’t go wrong with SKINFOOD. The brand has ramped up its sustainability initiatives by developing new eco-friendly packaging. SKINFOOD’s products are now packaged in glass in lieu of plastic, and all glass packaging is made with post-consumer recycled (PCR) material, making recycling fuss-free. Besides glass packaging, SKINFOOD also uses eco-friendly materials, including soy ink and FSC certified paper in all of its packaging.
You may recognize SKINFOOD’s bestsellers, such as the iconic Black Sugar Mask Wash Off and Egg White Pore Mask. Here are some collections from the brand that are worth checking out:
Carrot Carotene Line
The Carrot Carotene line is the newest collection from SKINFOOD. Created for sensitive skin, both the Carrot Carotene Calming Water Pad and Carrot Carotene Relief Cream are formulated with beta-carotene, which is derived from natural carrot seed oil that’s high in antioxidants and provides skin nourishment and anti-aging benefits.
If your skin is prone to irritation, use the Carrot Carotene Calming Water Pad to relieve any redness and reinforce the skin barrier. Follow it up with a hydrating serum or go straight for the Carrot Carotene Relief Cream, which helps lock in moisture while soothing sensitive skin.
Black Sugar Line
Besides the bestselling Black Sugar Mask Wash Off, SKINFOOD carries a range of other products formulated with black sugar like the Black Sugar Perfect Scrub Foam, Black Sugar Perfect First Serum The Essential, Black Sugar Perfect Bubble Foam and Black Sugar Perfect Reset Cream.
This line is ideal for those with congested skin or uneven skin texture. The Black Sugar Perfect Scrub Foam is the perfect addition to your exfoliating routine, especially if you want to improve your skin texture. The gentle scrub effectively sloughs away dead skin cells, thanks to the black sugar granules in its formula.
Egg White Line
Got enlarged pores? Try SKINFOOD’s Egg White line to minimize the appearance of pores. Eggs, specifically egg whites, are rich in amino acids and vitamins. Using skin care products packed with egg whites, like the cult classic Egg White Pore Mask, firms skin and minimizes enlarged pores. Use the mask twice a week if you have oily or acne-prone skin to get rid of excess sebum and skin impurities.
To help clear blackheads and prevent new ones from forming, incorporate the Egg White Perfect Pore Cleansing Oil into your daily skin care routine. The lightweight cleansing oil gets rid of dirt and impurities while purifying skin.
Royal Honey Line
The Royal Honey line will give you a glowing and healthy-looking complexion. If you have dry or dehydrated skin, the Royal Honey Propolis Enrich Essence is perfect for replenishing moisture to your skin. Made with a combination of black bee propolis, royal jelly and honey extracts, the essence deeply nourishes skin and strengthens the skin barrier. Use it day and night, and your skin will not only look and feel moisturized but also radiant.
