What this page covers

Beauty of Joseon is a Korean skincare brand produced since 2016 by Goodai Global, based in Seoul. Its name points back to the Joseon era, and its formulas draw on hanbang, the traditional Korean approach to herbal skincare. The brand builds around eight plant ingredients cited in old Korean household encyclopedias: rice, ginseng, propolis, mugwort, green tea, red bean, green plum and Centella asiatica.

Most people know the brand through a handful of products. Relief Sun is a lightweight chemical sunscreen with rice extract and probiotics at SPF 50+ PA++++. Glow Serum pairs 60% propolis extract with 2% niacinamide. Revive Eye Serum combines ginseng and retinal. Across the range you will also find snail mucin, Centella and niacinamide, actives familiar from Korean routines. The line sits at the affordable end of K-beauty, with high concentrations of plant extracts at modest prices.

This page collects Beauty of Joseon products with their formulas broken down. For each one you can read the full INCI list, an evidence rating for every ingredient (tier A to F plus a traffic-light mark) and notes on pregnancy safety. Evigrade is an independent ingredient reference, not a shop: we do not sell cosmetics or give medical advice, we show what a product is made of and what the evidence says about those ingredients.
