A commitment to Korean Herbal Medicine. A wonderful story of a young Korean boy who lived in a town in Korea known for its Ginseng, mastered the know how and mastering its uses while helping his mother and her Camelia Oil business.
He believed with his whole being that Korean Medicinal herbs were the way of the future and worked tirelessly to introduce them into skin care.
In herbal medicine, specific to Korea, it is believed that every seven years, the body undergoes many internal changes – energy starts to taper and fall out of balance, commonly at age 35. With these changes, leaves people to more damaging effects of aging.
The first ever science-based Korean luxury medicinal based skin care to be developed blends indigenous medicinal herbs through traditional Korean methods. These methods are relevant to ‘Sang-Seng’ the philosophy behind balanced internal energies.
