Sulwhasoo 雪花秀

Sulwhasoo is where Korean herbal wisdom meets the sharper edge of modern skincare. Built around the restorative qualities of ginseng and other traditional ingredients, the brand has developed a reputation for elegant formulas that focus on hydration, radiance and resilient-looking skin. Its products are rich without feeling excessive, sensory without being fussy, and designed to turn a daily routine into something more deliberate. With its refined packaging and quietly confident approach, Sulwhasoo brings a distinctly Korean perspective to luxury beauty.

Sulwhasoo’s Origin & History

Sulwhasoo began with a simple belief: traditional Korean herbal medicine could have a place in modern luxury skincare. Its roots date back to 1932, when Yoon Dok-jeong, the mother of Amorepacific founder Suh Sung-whan, started making and selling camellia oil in Kaesong, a city known for its ginseng trade. In 1954, Suh established Korea’s first cosmetics research lab, beginning the brand’s long relationship with traditional herbs and modern beauty science.

The breakthrough arrived in 1966 with ABC Ginseng Cream, widely recognised as the world’s first ginseng-based cosmetic. Amorepacific later isolated ginseng saponin, the ingredient’s key active compound, and introduced the Ginseng SAMMI line in 1973. By the late 1980s, the brand had expanded beyond ginseng, combining a wider range of Asian medicinal herbs under the name Sulwha, before becoming Sulwhasoo in 1997.

That same year, Sulwhasoo launched its First Care Activating Serum, a pre-toner formula that helped establish the first-step boosting serum as a category in Asian skincare. From its status as an official state gift at the 2010 Seoul G20 Summit to its expansion across North America, China and luxury retailers worldwide, Sulwhasoo has grown into one of South Korea’s most recognisable prestige beauty brands—where heritage is not treated as nostalgia, but as a foundation for reinvention.
