ROUND LAB: Meet Korea’s Number 1 Skincare Brand

If you have ever checked out Olive Young’s or Hwahae Awards in the past few years, you definitely have seen this brand before. Winning awards after awards, Round Lab has made a name for itself in Korea, and is now ready to make it big in the West. Inspired by Korean Peninsula’s nature, this brand embodies the best of Korean ingredients and natural resources. With their 1025 Dokdo and Birch Tree Lines, it is making headlines all over the country. Since 2017, Round Lab skincare has established itself as a must-have on any K-Beauty lover’s shelves with high-quality products and innovative formulas.

1025 Dokdo Line

Holding a special meaning in Korean people’s hearts, this line represents the Dokdo Conflict and its resolution on October 25th, 1900. Reclaiming a small group of islets after 300 years, the brand uses mineral water and ingredients found on the territory in their formulas. The superstar ingredient is the Ulleungdo Deep Sea Water that is collected from 5,000 feet below the sea level of the East Sea. Containing over 90 minerals (woah) this rich and clean water increases blood circulation, cell renewal, and has nourishing and anti-ageing properties from the minerals.

Suitable for even the most sensitive skin types, it exfoliates dead skin cells with Deep Sea water, while penetrating deep into the skin, and effectively hydrating and nourishing with Panthenol and Allantoin. A multifunctional hero, it also protects the skin from environmental aggressors, while giving you your best, healthier skin. *Quickly adds to cart*

Inje Birch Tree Line

We have all seen the Birch Juice Moisturising Sunscreen all over our Tik Tok and yes, it is that good. The Inje Birch Tree line as the name suggests, is formulated with Birch Tree Extract from the Inje Forest, where the first birch trees in Korea originated from. This common tree has actually amazing skincare benefits that are often overlooked by many brands. Not only does it deeply hydrate the skin, it also stimulates collagen production, purifies, reduces inflammations, and brightens the skin. To be honest, the list goes on and on.
