Am I applying Halal cosmetics?

Many cosmetic companies are putting an ad on TV, newspaper, SNS(Social Network Service) claiming that their products are of the best quality with natural plant ingredients and miraculous effectiveness.

Ingredients used for cosmetics are much more important to those vegetarians and who have the religion of islam. Muslims not only eat non-halal food, but also they don't apply non-halal cosmetics which contain any ingredients of animal origin.

Last year in China, there was a fever of cosmetics containing horse oil which became very famous for skin care through word-of-mouth. Much to our regret, animal origin ingredients used in manufacturing cosmetics are not mostly halal because animals are not slaughtered in halal way.

Limiting this issue to Korea, I admit that there are some products with animal origin ingredients, but most of Korean cosmetic companies, preparablely, are using natural plant ingredients, appealing to customers who are more concerned about natural things.

Muslims, anyway, should check their cosmetics whether they contain any ingredients of animal origin or not before use. Usually, animal origin ingredients used in manufacturing cosmetics are pork collagen, pork placenta, horese oil..

I hope, someday in the future, cosmetic companies use only halal ingredients so muslims don't need to worry about their ingredients. To make it come true ealier, muslims need to encourage each other to use halal products as well as we ourselves should be more interested in them.

Time for Korean cosmetics, Why?

   <TonyMoly,Milky Dress,Skin Food,Peripera,It's Skin,Nature Republic,Mizon,Secret Key>

Korean cosmetics' tremendous global popularity began in the early 2000s when Korean dramas created a great sensation in China causing Chinese women to be long for Korean beauty and imitate it. After that, many Chinese tourists started to do their shopping in Korea with their hands full of Korean cosmetics. It would not be wrong to say that you'll find more Chinese than Korean in the streets, Myungdong, which is considered a mecca of cosmetic shops.  This cosmetics fever, then, spread to Thai, Honkong.. and it's now spreading to United State and Europe.

One of the globally famous Korean brand, TonyMoly, achieved a great success in China with the marketing strategy of peach-like container which symbolizes luck to Chinese and bamboo-like container which they love.

Nature Republic's 'Aloe Vera Soothing Gel' set a sales record of 100,000 in the on-line market, Tmall, in a day on last June.

Korean cosmetics are also popular in the United State because they are successfully appealing to people who are sensitive to chemicals and more concerned about going natural. JWT, a global marketing agency, predicted  that Korea cosmetics would rank as one of the top 100 remarkable trend in 2015's global beauty market.



The first factor of this popularity is in its high quality. Korean Cosmetic companies are holding unequaled technology in some field like functional cosmetics of wrinkle/whitening and herbal medicine cosmetics. Customers understand how effective they are even after a single usage regardless of their skin color. Not only having a high quality, but Korean cosmetics also have price competitiveness., 'Esteelauder' and 'Loreal', which are global cosmetic companies, are provided some of their products from Korean companies like Kolmar and Cosmax.

Industry watchers say that this cosmetics fever will continue for some time and it is only the first inning...

Panda's Dream White Hand Cream, Magic Cream, Sleeping Pack, So Cool Eye Stick and Brightening Eye Base

<TonyMoly> Panda's Dream White Hand Cream/ Sleeping Pack/ Magic Cream/So Cool Eye Stick/Brightening Eye Base

All these cute and original designed items are having something in common in their skin concern, and it is 'whitening'. Designed and inspired from the polar bear's pure-white fur, these Korean cosmetics are appealing to people who are longing for being white same like panda bears yearning for polar bears' white skin.

I don't like to say that 'white' means beautiful. Preference for beauty is different from person to person and I personally think today's global trend for whitening is just a moment which can be shift to something else. There was a time in Korea when many people used to be crazy for tanning their skin in clinics and beauty shops. So, please, don't think me to be a racist or..

                         <TonyMoly> Panda's Dream White Hand Cream

'Panda's Dream' is Panda's wish and desire for having pure-white fur like polar bear's. It was designed to turn panda's dull and greish hand to polar bear's shiny and white hand. Its Manuka honey provides hydration and nutrition to the skin and Bamboo sprout extract/Bamboo sap makes dry skin moisturizing.

Just take adequate amount and apply on the hand after wash.

                    <TonyMoly> Panda's Dream White Sleepin Pack

'White Sleeping Pack' was designed to make skin clear and transparent while sleeping. Unlike other heavy sleeping packs, this smart sleeping pack is lightly applied and quickly absorbed, not leaving things on your hair and pillow. Bamboo provides hydration, lavender/rosemary relieve stress and soothe sensitive skin and blueberry/basberry/blackberry give nutrition .

After wash at night, take adequate amount and apply on the skin, then gently tap for absorption.

                         <TonyMoly> Panda's Dream White Magic Cream

TonyMoly advertises 'White Magic Cream' makes panda become polar bear. This Magic cream can be used at the last step of skin care to increase skin tightening by skin tone correction and make shiny make-up.

One of the ingredients, Niacin amide, which is effective to whitening on a scientific basis, keeps the skin creamy and brings long-britening effect.

                       <TonyMoly> So Cool Eye Stick / Brightening Eye Base

Portable and easy to handle, 'So Cool Eye Stick' was designed with two functional purpose 'Wrinkle & Brightening'. This cute panda, once it is applied on your eye area, immediately gives cooling feeling.

Whenever your eye area feels dry and fatigued, smoothly glide from inside out side and absorb it by patting with your finger tips.

'Brightening Eye Base is the same size like 'So Cool Eye Stick'. Compared to the eye stick, it is more focused on the brightening effect containing Haloxyl and Actinidia extract.

Spread it evenly around your eyes to cover dark part of them!

Shiny Skin Soap is a very effective and powerful blackhead/pore care cosmetic soap. The white part of an egg has often been used for skin care since it became famous among Korean for removing pores. Inspired by this fact, TonyMoly's Shiny Skin Soap made a typical success case of Korea Cosmetics with original design and excellent quality.

New Hiskinkorea is coming up

                       (A wetland park near my company in Incheon, Korea)

We are making our new website www.hiskinkorea.com and there will be lots of changes.

There has been some request of adding other foreign currencies besides USD and SAR(Saudiarabian Currency). The new Hiskinkorea will be serving almost all the currencies in the world. Customers can choose their own currency on the main page of Hiskinkorea.

                                   [Milky Dress] Deo Peeling Gel

Hiskinkorea is supporting 4 languages, English, Arabic, Chinese and Korean using Google Translation. But they are not satisfactory, sometimes causing customers confused. "Delivery" is translated into the meaning "Giving birth to" in Arabic. This kind of "translation error" will be solved in the new website. English,first, is going to be served and then Arabic, Indonesian, Chinese, French will be available step by step.

                               [TonyMoly] Egg Pore Shiny Skin Soap

One of the biggest changes is Shipping Price. The new website will be offering free shipping for all items based on the shipping courier, Korea Post. Registered Air Mail served by Korea Post is trustworthy with reasonable price. Another shipping method, EMS, is also prepared. EMS is faster and safer than Registered Air Mail but customers need to pay additional shipping fee. Some countries where both of the shipping methods are not available will be covered by other ways.

The new website is due to start on 15th of October under the motto of "Easy Shopping".
Our priority is to make customers enjoy shopping as if they were in physical shops in Korea.

Please, don't hesitate to contact us when you have any request or need help.
