The K-beauty trend has maintained a strong position in the global cosmetics market for several years. This is reflected not only in the growing popularity of Asian skincare routines, but also in the ingredients actively sought by consumers. Increasingly, product selection is driven by the presence of specific active ingredients with proven biological activity.
The cosmetics market is clearly moving toward formulations that support skin barrier regeneration, skin repair processes, and overall skin homeostasis. In this context, ingredients inspired by Korean skincare are gaining particular importance, combining biotechnology, natural raw materials, and advanced processing technologies.
The Most Sought-After Ingredients in K-Beauty Inspired Cosmetics
CICA (Centella Asiatica) – Skin Barrier Support and Skin Regeneration
Centella Asiatica is one of the key raw materials used in regenerative cosmetics and dermocosmetics. The plant is rich in triterpenes, including madecassoside and asiaticoside, which help reduce inflammation and support skin regeneration processes.
CICA is widely used in products such as regenerative face creams, barrier creams, soothing serums, post-treatment creams, regenerating face masks, and products dedicated to sensitive and redness-prone skin.
PDRN – A Biotechnology-Derived Ingredient in Anti-Aging and Skin Repair Cosmetics
PDRN (Polydeoxyribonucleotide) is a biotechnology-derived ingredient used in cosmetics designed to support skin regeneration and improve overall skin condition.
It is increasingly used in products such as regenerative serums, anti-aging serums, repairing face creams, regenerating ampoules, post-aesthetic treatment cosmetics, and skincare products dedicated to mature skin.
Rice Extracts and Rice Ferments – Biotechnology in Modern Skincare
Fermented plant-based raw materials are one of the pillars of the K-beauty trend. Rice fermentation increases the bioavailability of active ingredients and leads to the formation of amino acids, peptides, and metabolites with antioxidant properties.
Rice ferments are commonly used in facial essences, hydrating toners, moisturizing creams, brightening serums, sheet masks, microbiome-supporting skincare products, and glass skin formulations.
