It’s time for another episode of The K-Beauty Podcast, and today is all about K-beauty ingredients! Rather than getting stuck on whether or not “snail slime” is yucky or sexy, we are delving deeper into the world of K-beauty and look at 5 typical K-beauty ingredients that I personally consider to be super exciting!

The K-Beauty Podcast: Beyond Snail - 5 Sexy K-Beauty Skincare Ingredients

I had a lot of fun recording episode 5 of The K-Beauty Podcast! Talking about exciting, “sexy” K-beauty ingredients is always a surefire way to make me perk up and feel super happy discussing this in-depth.

Now, I am not a chemist or skincare researcher, so I always have to rely on other awesome blogger in the community to give me the infos I need concerning what these ingredients actually do. Thus, I have linked a few interesting articles from people who are way better suited when it comes to talking about the science behind ingredients than little old “I have a PhD…in a humanities subject…ho-hum” me! As per usual, I have also linked the products mentioned throughout this podcast.

I would also like to most humbly apologise for constantly mispronouncing the word “propolis” throughout this podcast episode, yikes! So, without further ado – I hope you will enjoy episode FIVE of The K-Beauty Podcast, titled (a tiny bit cheekily…): “Beyond Snail: 5 Sexy K-Beauty Skincare Ingredients”!

Here is episode FIVE of The K-Beauty Podcast:

Listen on ITunes ¦ Listen on Anchor.fm ¦ Listen on Stitcher

 

Episode Notes: Beyond Snail – 5 Sexy K-Beauty Skincare Ingredients

  • Leegeehaam Vita Propolis Ampoule – read my German review, buy at Amazon US,* buy at Amazon DE*

  • Tosowoong Pure Propolis Masks, buy a single mask* or a 10 pack of masks at Yesstyle

Sexy K-Beauty Ingredients – No. 4: Red Ginseng

  • Missha Cho Gong Jin gift set – buy at Yesstyle* (it’s not cheap, but you get all the classics from the line)
  • Missha Cho Gong Jin Essence, my favourite product from the line – buy at Stylekorean*
  • US viewers/listeners beware: you should avoid buying Missha products directly from the Missha US online store, since there have been issues with security breaches and credit card theft – read the excellent summary on this from Fanserviced-B

  • Bombee Ginseng Red Honey Oil Masks – buy at Yesstyle* (currently you can only get a 10 pack though, sorry!)
  • Sulwhasoo products are currently 10% off with coupon code “sulwhasoo10” at Beautytap*
  • Illi makes some great sheet masks with Ginseng extract – try the Illi Camellia Oil Nourishing Mask, available at Yesstyle*, or how about the Illi Real Cotton Pumpkin Mask?* Sounds awesome in my book!
  • The History of Whoo products are also available at Beautytap* – pricey, but gorgeous packaging!
  • Roserose sells some The History of Whoo Samples
  • I’m from Ginseng Mask* and Ginseng Serum* – both links lead to the Wishtrend shop

Sexy K-Beauty Ingredients – No. 5: Goat and Donkey Milk

  • Article on the benefits of donkey milk for the skin (it is hard to find a non-biased article on this, sadly, but this one seems alright)
  • Try the Freeset Donkey Milk Sheet Masks – they are on special at Roserose at the moment, only 8k Won for a 10 pack – I forgot to mention them on the podcast, many people with dry skin swear by these!

  • Elizavecca Silky Creamy Donkey Steam Moisture Cream – buy at Yesstyle*
  • Hope Girl Ultra Moist Donkey Milk Cream – buy at Yesstyle*
  • I cannot find an article on goat’s milk that doesn’t also try to sell you handmade soap, but this one at least lists the benefits quite nicely
  • Xaivita Goat Milk Wrinkle Toner – buy at Roserose
  • Xaivita Goat Milk Wrinkle Emulsion – buy at Roserose
  • Xaivita Goat Milk Wrinkle Essence – buy at Amazon US*
  • TonyMoly Naturalth skincare line with goat’s milk – buy at Yesstyle*
The K-Beauty Podcast Beyond Snail - 5 K-Beauty skincare ingredients
This is honey, not propolis but… it simply looks more appealing than the “bee glue”…

The weekly craves, faves and misbehaves

  • Crave of the week: I.HOLLIDA skincare with fermented red ginseng! Sadly, it seems impossible to find a reputable website who sells these products – maybe the company went bust? Ah, such a shame!
  • Fave of the Week: Dewins Snail Mask Pack sheet masks – I cannot find a seller of these that ships internationally, but here is the Thai website for those of you who can read Thai
  • Misbehave of the week: Leegeehaam Tea Tree Pure Cleansing Water – if, for some reason, you wish to purchase this, you can find it at Glowrecipe
  • You should much rather buy the amazing Leegeehaam Tea Tree Essence though! – read my German review of the LJH Tea Tree products, buy the Essence at Amazon US*, buy at Amazon DE*

    Hi 🙂
    Super Podcast, ich finde du erklärst alles sehr gut und easy für Laien verständlich. Mich würde interessieren, ob du zuverlässige Quellen finden konntest wie der Schneckenschleim “geerntet” wird? Manche meinen, die Schnecken würden nur über unebene Oberflächen kriechen und dadurch mehr Schleim absondern. In anderen Berichten wiederum werden die Schnecken in große Säcke geschmissen auf die quasi eingeschlagen wird um die Schnecken zu ängstigen, weil sie dann mehr Schleim produzieren…
    Ich habe bisher von Schnecken-Hautpflege Abstand gehalten, aus dem einfachen Grund weil ich persönlich genau wissen will, welche Praxis ich mit meinem Geld unterstützen würde. Hast du da irgendwelche guten Quellen gefunden?
    Lg,
    Ini

      Schau mal in der Linkliste – der Artikel von Fanserviced-B handelt genau von diesem Thema. Die “bottom line” ist allerdings, dass keiner es so 100% weiß (im Endeffekt auch nicht anders als bei meisten westlichen Marken und ihren Versprechen der “tierversuchsfreien” Kosmetik). Benton hat allerdings mehrere “cruelty free” Auszeichnungen bekommen, also gehe ich stark davon aus, dass sie es irgendwie geschafft haben, ihren snail mucin ohne Schaden an den Tieren zu ernten. Cosrx hat auch mehrmals insistiert, dass die Schnecken bei ihren snail mucin Lieferanten nicht zu Schaden kommen. In Italien gibt es zum Beispiel einen Schneckenzüchter, der Dampf benutzt, um die Schleimproduktion anzukurbeln – er bezeichnet es als “SPA” für die Schnecken: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/02/05/italys-snail-farmers-having-slime-lives-niche-beauty-product/
