Beauty of Joseon Dynasty Cream 1 fl.oz. (30ml)
by Beauty of Joseon · skin_care
Editor's Take
Beauty of Joseon gives the dynasty theme some substance: rice and ginseng waters lead, while niacinamide and squalane make this more than decorative K-beauty.
Four-pillar formula scores
- Performance: 8.1 / 10
- Innovative Ingredients: 7.5 / 10
- Clean Standards: 8.9 / 10
- Formula Sustainability: 7.8 / 10
The Verdict
Rice and ginseng waters form a soothing base, with niacinamide and squalane adding credible hydration and barrier support. Cetearyl Olivate and Sorbitan Olivate give the cream a more considered feel than the average jar moisturizer. Ingredient safety is strong, though petrochemical components and persistent acrylic texture agents temper its sustainability credentials. A polished, above-average daily cream with real substance behind the theme.
