Korean Fermentation

Fermentation is one of the oldest traditions in Korean cosmetics, in the continuity of Hanbang. Fermented galactomyces, bifida, bean or rice: the process breaks down molecules, enriches extracts with amino acids, antioxidants and ferulic acid, and often makes them better tolerated. Ma:nyo's Pure Cleansing Oil and Mixsoon's Bean Essence brought this approach to a new generation.

What the science says

Standardised fermented extracts show antioxidant and hydrating activity documented in the laboratory; clinical evidence on human skin remains rarer and depends on each extract. We present them as background actives proven by use rather than miracle ingredients. Their real value lies in their gentleness and compatibility with almost every other active.

Which skin type

Dull, dehydrated or tired skin, and sensitive skin looking for hydration without irritation. Find our fermented essences in toners and essences, Ma:nyo's fermented oil among our cleansers, and the traditional heritage in the rice and Hanbang selection.
