🇰🇷 Slow Aging: Embracing Aging Gracefully and Healthily, Trending Upwards in Peptide Interest

Through consistent care, the trend of 'slow aging', where one ages slowly and healthily, has taken its place as a beauty trend, with growing interest in cosmetics ingredients that have anti-aging functions such as wrinkle reduction and elasticity improvement.


In this regard, the UK beauty media, Cosmetic Business, selected peptides as the first of the top five skincare trends for 2024. Peptides are substances composed of 2 to 20 amino acids that regulate important metabolic functions in the body along with proteins. When applied to the skin, peptides stimulate the production of proteins like collagen and elastin, contributing to skin brightening, wrinkle reduction, and elasticity improvement.


As a result, the cosmetics industry is launching skincare products utilizing peptides one after another, targeting the anti-aging market.

Good news! Now you can buy and sell dietary supplement health products like Korean red ginseng and vitamins directly from individuals. Starting from the 8th, the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety is trying out a new program called the "Health Functional Food Individual Transaction Pilot Project" for a year.
