Natural Origin Eco-Friendly Beauty Item Free of Harmful Ingredients

[Asia Economy Reporter Yujin Cho] As external harmful environmental factors that irritate the skin increase, the demand for healthy skin care is growing. Clean beauty brands utilizing natural ingredients derived from nature are attracting attention amid the spread of eco-friendly consumption that protects the global environment.

Klorane’s ‘Quinine Vitamin B Shampoo’ uses extract from the bark of the cinchona tree, cultivated on the slopes of the Andes Mountains in South America at altitudes of 1500 to 3300 meters. Only the bark from the first harvest of 6 to 8-year-old trees is used to avoid disrupting the growth cycle of the cinchona tree, and harvesting is done by hand instead of machinery.

Through its own certification method called ‘Botanical Expertises,’ the brand undergoes a rigorous process of variety selection, cultivation, harvesting, and extraction. Using eco-friendly cultivation methods, 1 gram of extract is obtained from 235 grams of quinine bark. The vitamin B complex strengthens the hair, while panthenol and biotin deliver essential moisture and energy to the hair, leaving it shiny and well cared for.

L’Occitane’s signature shea butter product, the ‘Classic Shea Hand Cream,’ uses sacred shea fruit, known as the ‘gold of women,’ as its main ingredient. It has excellent moisturizing power, keeping dry hands moist and smooth. The ‘2020 Holiday Shea Dry Skin Hand Cream,’ released as a holiday limited edition last year, contains as much as 20% rich shea butter, boasting deep hydration.

TLS’s ‘Kombucha Tea Tox Cream’ removes 20 animal-derived and harmful ingredients. The kombucha ingredient, extracted by fermenting black tea leaves from the Assam region of India, a world-renowned natural tea origin, helps transform dry and rough skin into smooth skin.

It features a vegan formula that enhances the effective ingredient content of kombucha, which purifies the body and skin healthily and smoothly. To ensure the benefits of kombucha are quickly absorbed by the skin, the cream is fortified with 5000ppm of triple hyaluronic acid with different molecular sizes and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid, providing radiant moisture without tightness.

Aveda’s bestseller, ‘Damage Remedy™ Daily Hair Repair,’ which pursues naturalism and cares for precious hair healthily and elastically with the energy of nature, contains a high concentration of quinoa extract. Made up of 98% natural ingredients including quinoa, soy, and macadamia, the quinoa component is quickly absorbed into the hair, improving damaged and broken hair by 90%.

The highly concentrated protein ingredients help improve severely damaged hair, and plant-derived proteins penetrate the hair to rapidly repair and strengthen damaged hair, preventing further damage. It can be applied intensively to damaged areas and does not need to be rinsed out, making it convenient for busy modern people to use.
