Common questions

Is Beauty of Joseon Christmas Set fragrance-free?

Yes. No fragrance, essential oils or fragrance allergens are listed in its ingredients.

Does Beauty of Joseon Christmas Set contain alcohol?

No drying alcohol (alcohol denat. or ethanol) is listed. It does contain cetearyl alcohol and stearyl alcohol: fatty alcohols that soften and thicken the formula and aren't drying.

Is Beauty of Joseon Christmas Set safe for fungal acne?

It contains 13 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (sorbitan olivate, cetearyl olivate, glyceryl stearate, polyglyceryl-10 oleate); plant oils & butters (macadamia ternifolia seed oil); and 8 more. How much they matter depends on the amount and the rest of the formula. The evidence comes mainly from lab studies of yeast growth, and fungal acne needs a diagnosis from a GP or dermatologist.
