K-Beauty and Fermented Skincare

Back

Why fermentation in cosmetics is more than just hype.

In fermented skincare, natural raw materials - such as flowers, algae or herbs - are refined through microbiological processes and converted into a serum.

This creates highly bioavailable active ingredients that strengthen the skin barrier, improve the absorption of active ingredients and balance the skin's microbiome.

Fermented cosmetic products are rich in amino acids, vitamins and postbiotic metabolites that provide smoother, brighter and more resilient skin. In the K-Beauty philosophy, fermentation is seen as the key to deeply effective but gentle skin care that uses natural processes to achieve visible results. This approach is also becoming increasingly important in Europe: fermented active ingredients stand for effectiveness, naturalness and sustainability - values that are increasingly shaping modern cosmetics. Brands that rely on fermentation combine scientific innovation with Korean skincare tradition - creating the next generation of intelligent, microbiome-friendly skincare.
