SKINFOOD Gold Caviar EX Emulsion

Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read

Read on 2026-10-02

What is this product?

Skinfood's Gold Caviar EX Emulsion (145 ml, sold on the brand's own mall) is a scented, film-forming moisturizing emulsion with a statutory wrinkle-improvement notation. Its 54-entry list is led by water, glycerin and fatty esters, with four silicone entries, fatty acids and a fragrance entry at the end. The headline ingredients are a caviar extract at 200 ppm and a gold colloid at 50 ppm, tiny shares of the formula, and the advertising compares the extract only with the brand's own earlier line. The page prints a bare completed-test badge for skin irritation with no test details, and the wrinkle notation has no study behind it on the page.

What makes it different?

A printed 200 ppm caviar extract and 50 ppm gold colloid behind gold-and-caviar marketing, on top of a fragrance-bearing silicone and ester film emulsion that carries a statutory wrinkle-improvement notation.
