Organic fermented skincare

WHAMISA is a Korean skincare brand. Its name comes from a Korean phrase meaning “people crazy about cosmetics”. According to the brand, it creates skincare rooted in organic ingredients and fermentation, with a simple idea: “nature as it is”.

The range covers face care, sun care, hair care and body care. Each line is built around a fermented plant complex of its own: flowers, pear blossom, cactus, seeds, algae, fruits or herbs.

WHAMISA’s signature ingredients are made with a two-step fermentation: according to the brand, lactobacillus is cultured in organic plant extracts using WHAMISA’s own technology. Each line has its complex, such as the Flower Essential Complex™ for Fermented Flowers or the Seed Vitality Complex™ for hair and body.

This is WHAMISA’s core skincare line. Its Flower Essential Complex™ is, according to the brand, lactobacillus fermented in 8 organic flower extracts: rose, calendula, dandelion, hibiscus, jasmine, lavender, chamomile and lotus. The toner, lotion and cream use an organic aloe leaf base.

At Kool Seoul you will find the Cleansing Oil, Cleansing Foam, Toner Deep Rich, Moisturizing Lotion Double Rich, Face Cream, Eye Essence, Facial Oil Deep Rich, Rose Face Mist and Hydrogel Mask.

Pear Blossom is the sun care and radiance line, made with the brand’s Flower Radiance Complex™ (fermented pear flower and fruit). The brand presents the Sunscreen as a gentle mineral sunscreen for the whole family (SPF 50+ / PA++++) and the Sun Powder as a non-nano mineral sun powder with a matte finish. The line also includes a toner.

Cactus is the hydration line: its Cactus Hydration Complex™ is fermented from prickly pear cactus, a plant the brand describes as flourishing in the harsh desert.

The hair and body products use the Seed Vitality Complex™, made according to the brand from 7 organic seeds: barley, oat, rice, sesame, soybean, adzuki bean and mung bean. Choose the Shampoo Oily for oily scalps or the Peas Shampoo for scalp care, then the Scalp Tonic and Hair Treatment. For the body: Seeds or Algae Body Wash, Seeds Body Lotion, Algae Body Mist and Seeds Hand Cream.
