Hey Subbies,
I hope you all are having a very Merry Holiday and tomorrow or whenever I post
this will be Christmas. This post took me a while since I had to cull my
playlist, go through the videos that didn't have any of the products listed in
the description box, open up my Skincare Excel sheet, and then create this
post which was a struggle with the blogspot bugs with uploading/licensing
images. I will work on a separate post on K-beauty based on what's popular
with Cheongdam MUAs beauty salons and J-beauty posts. The Hwahae app team
has been working on an English browser version rollout like the Glowpick which
is nice. In addition, I really thought I would be talking about another
brand this year but it was demoted to third place in the second half of the
year and
Torriden took the top spot gaining its worldwide darling status as hoped which I have
already featured in last year's post but funny enough Roundlab came in hot the
latter half of this year gaining it this year's Darling of the year.
Retiniods, Peptides, Liposomes, Exsomes, PDRN, and new lightweight -hydroxy acid
were trending ingredients on socials this year. Most of us are familiar with
some of these but I didn't expect Liposomes and Exsomes which have been in
high-end skincare for decades but are very useful in repairing the skin
barrier in a very targeted way. Another skincare ingredient Darling has to be
PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleotide) specifically Salmon DNA was primarily used in
skin clinics as a skin booster because of its regenerative effects. Anyway, I
changed it up this year by focusing on major categories inside of the
sub-categories so for example "Eyes" if it's a 'Serum' or 'Cream' you can look
at the SERUM category or the latter.
Clean and pure skincare derived from a land where the sea, wind and
mountains meet.
Round Lab is inspired by and encapsulates ingredients from the Korean
Peninsula.
It is where clean water, mountain peaks and gusty winds meet.
A land gifted with natural resources and ingredients with powerful vitality
that breathes vibrancy and purity into skin.
East Sea
The East Sea is where warm and cold currents meet just off the coast of
Korea to form the most lively marine ecosystem. At approximately 13,000 ft.
deep, water sourced from the East Sea is exceptionally clean, and formed by
volcanic activity, deep sea water found around Ulleungdo (pronounced
wool-leung-doh) and Dokdo (pronounced dok-doh) islands is rich with
nutrients and natural minerals.
Taebaek Mountains
Taebaek Mountain, the 400 mile backbone of the Korean Peninsula, peaks above
5,000 ft and stretches across the coast and inland. How it was formed is
still a mystery to geochnologists, but it is where the richest, life-giving,
natural ingredients are found in the untainted and well-preserved pockets of
the mountain.
Seabreeze
Air formed in areas where a mountain and the sea meet are known to be
especially clean. With the clean but strong wind gushing at 10+mph, the
nature is vitalized, refreshed and renewed all year around.
Keeping the spirit of discovery and exploration alive, ROUND LAB constantly
searches for the highest quality skincare ingredients all across Korean soil
and water. Let’s take a closer look at the hidden treasures uncovered so
far!
Geomundo
(pronounced guh-moon-doh) Seabreeze Mugwort
Densely packed with large trees, Geomundo is a dark island even in broad
daylight. In fact, “Geomun” translates to “black” or “dark” in the Korean
language, rumor has it that’s how this island got her name. Cradled by three
islands, the sea inside is as tranquil as a lake.

ROUND LAB uses Madecassoside extracted from Mugwort grown in the midst of
sea breeze to create a skincare collection focused on skin revitalization.
