ETUDE Moistfull Collagen Emulsion

What is this product?

A 180ml hydration emulsion from ETUDE, the second step in the brand's long-running 수분가득 콜라겐 line, built on 하이드롤라이즈드콜라겐 at position 2 of 28 with its concentration printed in the statutory row as 186,800ppm, that is, 18.68 percent. The oil phase is small and light: a volatile silicone at 6 plus three esters and a saturated hydrocarbon, with no ceramide, no cholesterol, no fatty acid, no plant oil and no butter anywhere in the panel. No fragrance, no essential oil, no denatured alcohol. The statutory functional-cosmetic row reads 해당사항없음, so the product holds no filed whitening or wrinkle function, and the panel matches that record. A seven-item free-from list was verified entry by entry and holds seven of seven. The brand states an irritation test was completed but publishes no body, panel size, duration or result; the fully specified studies around this line belong to the sibling cream at 653,800ppm and are excluded here. Manufacture is contracted to (주)코스비전 with (주)에뛰드 as responsible distributor, country of manufacture 한국. Best for dehydrated normal or oily skin wanting a light water step; conditional for very dry or barrier-compromised skin, which will need an occlusive over it.

What makes it different?

Two things separate it inside hydration lotions and they point the same way. First, the disclosure: the statutory ingredient row carries a concentration in parentheses, 하이드롤라이즈드콜라겐(186,800ppm), and Korean ingredient rows normally print names without numbers, so a reader gets an actual level for the material the product is named after instead of an order position. The container repeats it and the marketing repeats it, and all three agree. Second, and cutting against it, the brand spends that credibility on a penetration story it does not measure: depth, absorption rate and particle size are asserted across three separate images with no measurement on any surface held, and the statutory row simultaneously records no functional filing. The practical corollary is precise. Treat the 18.68 percent as real and treat it as surface humectancy and film formation, which is what a hydrolysed peptide at that level does, and do not read the collagen in the name as a firming function the brand has filed for.
