Cult South Korean brand Illiyoon now in Singapore

Sensitive-skin types can rejoice. Dermatological brand Illiyoon from South Korea, developed for sensitive skin, is now available at a pharmacy near you.

The brand is best known for its Ceramide Ato range, formulated for head-to-toe use and said to be powered by ceramides to replenish and strengthen the skin barrier.

The Ceramide Ato Concentrate Cream ($27.50), in particular, has gone viral online for helping to repair the skin barrier and soothe itch and irritation caused by dryness.

Illiyoon products contain patented ingredients including Yoon Complex, made of ginseng water and the root of the Bupleurum falcatum herb to soothe and moisturise; phytoceramide, or ceramides derived from black beans; and a complex of encapsulated ceramides, fatty acids and cholesterol.

Other products include the Ceramide Ato Soothing Gel For Body And Face ($27.50), a gel moisturiser alternative to the viral product; and the Ceramide Ato 6.0 Top To Toe Wash For Body, Face And Hair ($19.90), a gel wash with a mild pH-balancing formula to maintain the skin’s natural acidity for a healthy barrier. All are suitable for pregnant women, infants and children.

Aromatica’s summer-proof haircare

Do not neglect your scalp under the summer sun.

South Korean brand Aromatica has two timely new offerings formulated with rosemary essential oil. The ingredient popularly used for hair growth is said to have anti-inflammatory properties that can help with free radical damage from sun exposure.

Founded in 2004 and grounded in aromatherapy, Aromatica offers hair and body products made with essential oils and vegan formulas. It launched in Sephora Singapore in March.

Enter the new Rosemary Scalp Scrub ($25), designed for weekly scalp exfoliation to open up clogged pores and improve hair durability. It is formulated with mineral salt and beta-hydroxy acid ingredients to help gently exfoliate and balance, while rosemary softens the build-up of dead skin cells for easy exfoliation.

Complement it with the Rosemary Root Enhancer ($21). This hair elixir was made to promote healthier hair roots and provide scalp relief, as stress and sun exposure can lead to a heated scalp.
