At Beauty of Joseon, we cherish the wisdom of traditional Hanbang (한방) ingredients and integrate them into modern skincare. Two of our most beloved ingredients—rice and ginseng—have been used for centuries in Korean beauty rituals. Let’s explore their incredible benefits and the products that harness their natural power.
Why We Love Rice in Skincare
For Koreans, rice has always been more than just a staple food. During the Joseon Dynasty, rice was considered an essential part of daily life and special celebrations. It symbolized purity, nourishment, and longevity. Even today, rice remains a key ingredient in many beauty products for its hydrating and brightening properties.
Benefits of Rice in Skincare
Deep Hydration: Rice extract helps to lock in moisture and maintain a dewy glow.
Skin Brightening: Rich in vitamins and amino acids, rice extract naturally enhances skin tone.
Anti-aging & Barrier Protection: Strengthens the skin barrier and soothes irritation.

The Power of Ginseng: A Skincare Superfood
Ginseng (인삼) has been revered for over 5,000 years for its ability to boost energy, improve health, and rejuvenate the skin. During the Goryeo Dynasty, ginseng was one of Korea’s most prized exports, traded for luxury goods like silk.
Why Ginseng is a Skincare Must-Have

Fun Fact: The Meaning Behind “Insam” (인삼)
Did you know? In Korean, "insam" (인삼) consists of:
"in" (인) – meaning "human"
"sam" (삼) – meaning "root"
The shape of ginseng roots resembles the human body, which is why it has long been believed to bring holistic benefits to health and skincare.
