Innisfree

Innisfree embodies healthy beauty as it solely pursues the clean benefits of nature. The brand’s name - Innisfree, is inspired by a lyrical poem by William Butler Yeats entitled “The Lake of Isle of Innisfree” which talks of leaving urban life for becoming one with nature.

The brand focuses on natural ingredients from Jeju island which Innisfree got its inspiration from naturalism. Innisfree found the island’s warm sunlight, fresh air, fertile soil, and pure water as the purest habitat for the most natural ingredients. Therefore, the greens of Jeju island became the brand’s color as expressed in its logo.

Innisfree and Its Natural Ingredients

Innisfree promises to provide good quality products derived from the pureness of nature packed in eco-friendly design as the brand keeps its green promise. It is no secret that Innisfree prides itself on sourcing its ingredients in the purest and pristine nature of Jeju island. 

Innisfree conducted extensive research and discovered the best ingredients for its skincare: green tea, volcanic cluster, orchid, bija, seaweed, hallabong, soybean, gotjawal, green barley, and pomegranate. These responsibly sourced and reliable ingredients are meant to nourish and keep your skin healthy. 

Innisfree Green Tea

The brand is known for the Innisfree green tea line. This ingredient is made of 100% green tea seed and green tea water homegrown from Jeju’s organic green tea farm. The Innisfree green tea line is the brand’s set of signature products and it’s no wonder. Jeju island is about 80% volcanic ash soil that is perfect for green tea’s moisture and air. One part of Jeju also provides the ideal climate for green tea which is about 14 to 16 degrees Celsius therefore the brand uses the best quality green tea. To date, the brand’s bestsellers are the Innisfree Green Tea Seed Serum and Innisfree Green Tea Seed Cream.

The Innisfree Green Tea line is praised for its antioxidant effects making skin moist and bright over time. Moreover, it contains anti-aging properties like skin regeneration that improve wrinkles on the skin. 

Innisfree Volcanic Cluster

Innisfree also gathers the Jeju volcanic cluster for its products. This ingredient is incorporated in the Innisfree Super Volcanic Pore Clay Mask which is perfect for pore care, sebum removal, exfoliation, deep cleansing, and complexion improvement. The idea behind this ingredient is that the skin releases more sebum on hotter days thereby needing pore care that has higher sebum absorption. Those in need to free themselves from tightened pores will benefit most from this.

Innisfree Green Barley

Innisfree also features green barley which contains protein, dietary fiber, and nutrients that effectively remove waste water to give users healthy-looking skin. The Innisfree Green Barley Gommage Peeling Mask smoothens and clears that skin as it effectively washes away dead skin cells.

Innisfree Orchid 

Innisfree uses orchids as one of its main ingredients because the flower is known for its vitality to bloom despite the extreme cold. Therefore, the products under this line are made to break through the cold to battle dry and flaky skin during winter. This ingredient deeply nourishes the skin leaving your skin smooth, radiant, and young-looking. The Innisfree Jeju Orchid Sleeping Mask is all you need for more nourished skin after applying overnight.

Innisfree Pomegranate

Pomegranate is known to give your skin a healthy glow. It also strengthens the skin barrier improving its firmness. Innisfree makes sure to use clean water, pure air, and natural fertilizer to grow their pomegranates and give users a healthy beauty. 

Innisfree Bija

Bija is a fruit with medicinal properties. In ancient times, it was one of the fruits that are meant to be offered to a king. This fruit contains antibacterial properties perfect to treat skin troubles. Innisfree doesn’t harvest Bija from the tree, instead, gathers those that have already fallen on the ground to make sure it has ripened and reached their best heights. The brand prides itself on an acne-fighting toner using Bija called the Innisfree Bija Trouble Skin. They also have the Innisfree Cica Balm with Bija Seed Oil which could take the place of moisturizer for targeted skin trouble to rescue your skin from blemishes while improving skin texture.

Innisfree Seaweed

Innisfree uses seaweed from the cleanest sea of Jeju. The brand aims to replicate the sea mustard’s vitality for the skin. Innisfree also uses this ingredient and innovated it with the help of science and technology into maximizing anti-aging benefits that would improve skin firmness and battle against wrinkling.

The brand calls the line marine seaweed and is mainly for anti-aging. Here are the cult favorites on this line: Innisfree Wrinkle Science Spot Treatment and Innisfree Wrinkle Science Oil Serum 

Innisfree Hallabong

Hallabong is a citrus fruit that is rich in vitamin C. Innisfree incorporates this ingredient because the peel contains so many antioxidants that would benefit the skin. The brand uses this ingredient in its brightening line because vitamin C is known to reduce the appearance of dark spots and blemishes.

Innisfree Soybean

Soybean is known to firm skin lifting its sagginess and bringing back the skin to its healthiest state leaving your skin smooth and glowing. Innisfree makes sure it uses properly fermented soybean with 8 essential amino acids for a firm and healthy skin. The Innisfree Soybean Energy Cream EX is one of the bestselling creams of Innisfree to battle signs of aging and provide intense moisture. For those who prefer oil, there’s an Innisfree Soybean Energy Oil EX as an alternative.
