TJB reports on efforts to connect Geumsan ginseng with cosmetics development and overseas markets.
Published
Geumsan County is exploring cosmetics as another route for its ginseng industry, according to a 4 November report by Korean broadcaster TJB. The report describes a local manufacturer using Geumsan ginseng in products such as shampoo and pursuing customers overseas.
A regional ingredient in a wider beauty market
TJB reports that the Geumsan Insam Herb Industry Promotion Agency plans to continue supporting smaller businesses with technology and access to test-production facilities. It describes the sector’s diversification as an early-stage effort, rather than an established outcome for every participating business.
Regional stories can help shoppers discover Korean beauty beyond familiar retailers such as Olive Young. THE CAST lists UGLYFACE botanical clay masks with names referring to places including Jindo and Buan. These masks are separate catalog examples: they are not identified in the report and are not presented here as ginseng products.

Read the complete ingredient list, directions and manufacturer information for the specific item, then confirm current availability, delivery and total cost. THE CAST has not verified UGLYFACE’s availability at Olive Young.
