Glutathione Is Korea's Hottest Trending Ingredient

• Glutathione has emerged as a new trend in the inner beauty market
• It first became famous because of the white jade injection that many dermatology clinics are using
• Next, it started popping up in Korean skincare. 
• Glutathione is an antioxidant and compound that combines three amino acids. It not only nremoves active oxygen, which causes aging but also inhibits melanin production in the skin. This helps with whitening, wrinkles, and skin elasticity.
• This year has seen Korean companies introduce multiple 'inner beauty' products featuring glutathione
• According to the Functional Health Food Association, the size of the domestic inner beauty market is expected to exceed 1.9 trillion won by 2025. 

Domestic Consumption of Cosmetics is Up in Korea

• The domestic Korean cosmetics market grew by about 8% year-on-year over the past year-on-year. 
• Part of this is because prices have been increased 
• But, female consumers are also spending more, an average of 380,000 won per year 
• Research reveals that consumers consider numerous things before making a  purchase, including the ingredients, price and efficacy 
• But buyers who prioritize the "immediate efficacy of products" spend more than 500,000 won a year on basic cosmetics, cf buyers who prioritize reasonable prices, who purchase around 300,000 won a year.
