Best Hanbang Beauty Brands To Try

 

In Korean beauty, a popular style or category of products is known as "Hanbang".

These are products that are based on techniques or ingredients used in traditional Oriental medicine clinics. These days, there are a large number of Hanbang Korean skincare brands, targeting both the local and international market.

Many Hanbang brands believe that the goal of Hanbang cosmetics is to restore the skin's balance and function. Many focus on the raw ingredients used in their products, in addition to the way those ingredients are processed. 

If you're just starting out with Hanbang cosmetics, here are some brands and products that are not to be missed. 

 

 

BEST HANBANG BEAUTY BRANDS TO TRY: Beauty of Joseon

 

Beauty of Joseon products are made using the ingredients that were listed in the “Kyuhab Chongseo“. This was a guide compiled for women in the Joseon Dynasty that focused on skincare for beautiful, clean and pure skin. It typifies the ‘Hanbang’ tradition of Korean ancient traditional skincare.

Beauty of Joseon Dynasty Cream

This was the first Beauty of Joseon product we ever stocked at STYLE STORY (and the brand's first release!) 

While it has undergone a few formula and packaging changes since then, this moisturising cream still contains time-honoured Korean herbs. Firstly, it contains rice bran water (29%), Ginseng root water (5%), Squalane (2%) and Niacinamide (2%).

It works to brighten the complexion, firm skin and target the signs of aging for a complexion beautiful enough to rule a nation.

Beauty of Joseon Red Bean Refreshing Pore Mask

This unique face mask helps to absorb excess oil and gently cleanses away flaky skin and debris without dryness or tightness, with a cooling, soothing texture.

Red bean has played an important role throughout Korean history. It was used as a medicine for its important detoxifying properties and was used as an ingredient in traditional food as well. As recorded in ancient documents, women in Korea's Joseon Dynasty used it with mung bean as a facial cleanser.

 

Beauty of Joseon Revive Serum: Ginseng + Snail Mucin

Beauty of Joseon's ginseng and snail serum is a newer release that's popular for lightly hydrating your skin. 

This one is also enriched with Hanbang ingredients like 63% Ginseng Root Water and 3% Snail Secretion Filtrate. In addition, it can help to brighten a dull complexion.
