Aloe Vera and O'SUM

Calming effect on tired and sensitive skin- Aloe Vera

Aloe was known for its effects and has been used since long time ago as a Clinical treatment of Hippocrates, military medicine of Alexander the great, and beauty treatment of Cleopatra.

Recently, effects of Aloe became known to people right after World War II, it is said to have germicidal power on bacteria and molds, neutralize the effects of poison, and has effects on stomach ulcer and anti-cancer effects.

Effect on Beauty care firstly known by civilians



Aloe Vera, which is being well used as raw material of modern cosmetics, was first used as cosmetics in the past.
Mayan Indian women of Yucatan peninsula maintained their fair skin using Aloe Vera gel and North American Indians used Aloe Vera gel for burn treatment or prevention of blister till today.

So the Indians referred to the ‘juice flow from Aloe Vera’ as the origin of youth.

Omija AC First Toner


Why did O’SUM decide to create the Omiza series?
1.     There were several customers that were suffering from sensitive and oily skin, so we began by thinking: “What can we do for these people?”
2.     Ingredients that can be used as a part of an organic skincare are very limited when compared to normal skincare. These organic ingredients cannot immediately show results, however we believe that they keep the skin healthy helping it to revive outbreaks.
3.     While looking for an ingredient that would treat acne prone skin, we discovered the powers of omija. Presently, O’SUM is the first in the world to scientifically research the mechanism behind omija and how it treats acne. The term ‘organoceutical’ was created to show our desire to become a representative of Korean organic skincare, and ‘Omija’ is our first line of products to do so.

Jejuorga Hydrating Serum



What is Hyaluronic acid (sodium hyaluronate)?
Hyaluronic acid exists between the nets of collagen and elastin, absorbing and storing 1000 times more moisture than its weight within the skin. As we grow older, they reduce in number, requiring extra supplement in order to maintain the skin’s moisture levels. It also acts as a barrier against the skin’s moisture loss while absorbing moisture, balancing the right amount of moisture level within the skin.

The skin consists of 50% hyaluronic acid.
Hyaluronic acid maintains the moisture in the skin and makes it soft, firming the skin making it healthy and young. As we grow older, our natural hyaluronic acid decreases, resulting in wrinkles and reduced elasticity of the skin. Although collagen provides elasticity to our skin, it is hyaluronic acid that provides the nourishment and moisture to the collagen. 



Using the right serum can change your skin
Organic lemon balm extract (14.91%) and a combination of 7 natural ingredients of Jeju mixed with a high concentrate of natural hyaluronic acid create a rapid and effective deep hydration for the skin that lasts.

1.     Easy skin care
Squeeze the dropper onto the palm then apply to the skin and gently tap the serum into the skin using your fingers.
When using as a cream at night, gently tap into the skin or alternatively apply a generous layer to use as a night mask.
