Who is TOUN 28?
TOUN 28 is a Korean skincare company that believes in an ever-changing skincare routine. They believe that every 28 days we should adjust our skincare routine. This time period suits seasonal changes in external factors. Also, 28 days matches the natural renewal cycle on your skin barrier.
“Like balanced diets make a healthy body, Balanced ingredients make healthy skin”
They focus on high content ingredients allocating 90% of their production costs to ingredients alone. The other 10% covers their self-developed 100% biodegradable paper packaging.
TOUN 28’s mission is built on never-changing values. To clarify, TOUN 28 “seeks healthy beauty to benefit people and the environment.”
How does TOUN 28 achieve its mission?
In order to achieve skincare products that emphasize helping consumers and the environment TOUN 28 focuses on three main aspects:
-
DATA CHANGE YOUR SKIN
TOUN 28 is not only trying to better the environment, but they are attempting to overturn the entire cosmetics market. They are combating the idea that long term use of the same product is harmful to the skin. “The skin changes every month. Is it right to buy the same cosmetics?” Therefore, skincare should be manufactured based on data and diagnosis, not preference or marketing.
-
LESS PLASTIC
Unlike some companies who think about the environment TOUN 28 acts for the environment. When you enter their official website it shows the number of animals saved and plastic not-used to produce their products. Why? Because “two billion animals are killed every year due to swallowing dumped plastic” garbage. This “plastic garbage” includes cosmetics products. This, TOUN 28 developed its own biodegradable paper container to reduce plastic (They are still working on a 100%-biodegradable paper container with no plastic cap.).
-
INGREDIENTS FIRST
Until they were able to produce their own container, TOUN 28 describes how most of their money went towards the container, not the ingredients. TOUN 28’s ‘Put Ons’ pay 90% of costs for the raw elements, and only 10% for containers. Ensuring that they have a star ingredient list!
