Read scent notes, ingredients and use directions before choosing a body-care product online.
Read scent notes, ingredients and use directions before choosing a body-care product online. This guide is written by THE CAST, a Korean beauty retailer.
Separate scent from function
Products in the same fragrance family can have different uses. Choose a wash, lotion or scent product according to its own label.
Check your preferences
Review the ingredient list and any fragrance warnings. If details are missing, ask the seller rather than inferring them from a product name.
Choose a manageable first order
Check size, current price and shipping restrictions for the destination. Introduce an unfamiliar product cautiously and stop use if irritation occurs.
