In recent years the popularity of Korean skincare has increased exponentially in North America with leading beauty outlets such as Vogue, Allure and Refinery29 praising their virtues and benefits. The active ingredients in these products are typically nature- and herbal-based remedies known for their medicinal qualities, such as red ginseng, lotus flower and green tea. As part of the Korean skincare philosophy, these creams, gels and mists are applied in concert with a holistic and customized regimen that emphasizes prevention, protection and rejuvenation.
Some of ARITAUM’s featured skincare brands include:
- IOPE uses the latest developments in bio-technology and dermatological research to provide targeted solutions. Some of IOPE’s most popular products include Air Cushion®, the best-selling cushion foundation in Korea, and Super Vital Cream Bio Excellent, an ultra-rich anti-aging moisturizer.
