★ GOURMET K-BEAUTY · SINCE 1957
BEAUTY
THAT CAN BE EATEN.
SKINFOOD is the pioneer of Korean food cosmetics — the first brand to transfer the nourishing power of food onto the skin, true to its philosophy "you are what you eat." Black sugar, royal honey, rice, carrot: each formula draws from edible ingredients rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. A gourmet, accessible, and sensory K-beauty that has become iconic far beyond Korea.
★ THE SKINFOOD PANTRY
NUTRITION APPLIED TO THE SKIN
The "food cosmetics" principle: nourish the skin as you nourish the body.
Since 1957, SKINFOOD has started from a simple idea: foods that are good for the body are good for the skin. The brand selects edible ingredients — sugar, honey, rice, vegetables — and transforms them into nutrient-rich skincare. Here are the 4 star foods that made its reputation.
✦ INGREDIENT 01
BLACK SUGAR
Rich in minerals and natural fruit acids, black sugar gently exfoliates, refines texture, and brightens the complexion. The star of the Black Sugar Mask Wash Off.
✦ INGREDIENT 02
HONEY & PROPOLIS
Honey and propolis intensely nourish, soothe, and strengthen the skin barrier. The core of the Royal Honey Propolis Enrich line, ideal for dry skin.
✦ INGREDIENT 03
RICE
Rich in antioxidants and vitamins, rice extract evens out and brightens the complexion for a "glass skin" effect. The base of the Rice line, a best-selling radiance product.
✦ INGREDIENT 04
CARROT
Rich in beta-carotene and vitamins, carrot soothes, protects, and revitalizes sensitive or stressed skin. The active ingredient in the Carrot Carotene line.
Ingredients you recognize, accessible formulas, and a true pleasure to use: this is the entire SKINFOOD signature, now iconic worldwide.
