Skincare industry highlights retinol and STARENOL™ ingredients

The skincare market continues to evolve with a focus on specific active ingredients to meet diverse consumer needs. Wondermis has introduced STARENOL™, an ingredient derived from magnolia bark extract, as a key component in its product formulations.

In the Korean beauty sector, retinol remains a prominent ingredient for anti-aging and skin texture management. Several brands offer various retinol-based products, including Innisfree, which combines retinol with Cica and hyaluronic acid, and COSRX, which offers a 0.1% pure retinol cream. Other notable options include SOME BY MI’s serum featuring retinal and bakuchiol, SKIN1004’s ampoule utilizing micro-spicule technology, and K-SECRET’s liposome-based retinal serum.
