What is this product?

A 30 mL aqueous serum built on a nine part ferment block with niacinamide fifth and galactomyces ferment filtrate seventh, filed in Korea as a whitening and wrinkle-improvement functional cosmetic. Eleven hyaluronic acid entries, no oil, no acid, no alcohol, no fragrance entry and no silicone. The printed list runs 46 items but only 42 are distinct: bakuchiol, sodium benzoate, sodium acetylated hyaluronate and hydroxypropyltrimonium hyaluronate are each printed twice, a duplication that appears on both of the brand's own size pages and is preserved unchanged here. Two findings sit at the centre of this record. The brand never mentions the bakuchiol it declares. And the brand's page for the 150 mL size carries a byte-identical ingredient list while printing 무 in the same statutory filing cell, so the two surfaces disagree on whether this formula is registered. No pH, no concentration and no test data are published.

What makes it different?

Two, and both are documentation findings as much as formulation ones. The product declares bakuchiol and markets it nowhere, which is the opposite of how that ingredient is normally sold. And the brand's own two size pages carry the same ingredient list while disagreeing on whether the formula holds a functional cosmetic registration, a conflict this record discloses rather than resolves.

What is in it?

The full ingredient list as the brand publishes it, in the printed order. Each name links to what we know about that ingredient.

This brand publishes its ingredient list in Korean only. Names below are the matching INCI names from the Korean Cosmetic Association ingredient dictionary, except 4 with no dictionary entry, left in Korean.

Key ingredient

Ingredients with no mark are ones we found nothing notable about, and when marks overlap on one ingredient we show the caution first.

We could not place these in the list above: 세테아릴올리베이트, 솔비탄올리베이트, 폴리글리세릴-10라우레이트
