Chief Guests & Speaker’s Note
Workshop organizer Kanish Malhotra emphasized the importance of collaboration. She said,
“When it comes to business and B2B sessions, one way of creating business is collaboration.”
This was their very first workshop about the Korean industry aimed at building a bridge between Korean brands and Indian society. Mayank Jain from Island Beauty expressed his excitement about the partnership by saying,
“We are honored to be a part of this partnership. He added that the brand aims to bring the best of the world’s ingredients and has formulated products, especially for the Indian skin type.”
Activities
The brand Island Beauty was launched at the event. Their philosophy is “less is more,” and as a result, instead of a 7-step skincare regime, they have introduced a minimalistic 3-step skincare routine that anyone can follow with ease to achieve hydrated, luminous, and supple skin. One of the co-founders, Jin-soon Lee, demonstrated how to use their three-step skincare regime. Through this simple yet effective regime, one can achieve healthy and radiating skin. Afterward, a “myth or reality” session was conducted by the host. She posed numerous questions to the panel of experts. The panel included Dr. Adesh Mathur, Dr. Raman Sharma, Sweety Kachroo, and Mayank Jain. They busted various myths and misconceptions about skincare and aesthetic procedures. Through their wisdom and expertise, their answers enlightened the participants and cleared all of their doubts. Later on, Myo Clinix professionals showcased their painless aesthetic procedure, ‘myolift,’ by utilizing products from Celigin Global and Island Beauty. The results were positive, as the before and after showed a visible reduction of wrinkles and a brightened-up face.
Key Brands Showcase
Skincare products from two Korean skincare brands, i.e., Island Beauty and Celigin Global, were on display at the exhibition zone. Island Beauty, a Korean skincare brand, was specially crafted for Indian skin types by combining Ayurveda (a traditional system of Indian medicine) with Korean wisdom. The products on display included ‘Purity in a Drop Rice Water Toner and Essence.’ It has been crafted carefully by incorporating the goodness of turmeric, rice water, AHA, and BHA. The second one was the ‘DewDrop Evenness Serum,’ which has 50% fermented rice water, hyaluronic acid (hydration booster), and natural primer properties. And the last one was the ‘Morning Dew Moisturizer,’ a moisturizer with SPF 15 that hydrates and enhances the natural glow. The research and development (R&D) took around two years, along with 52 sample alterations, to develop an impeccable solution for Indian skin.
Skincare products from Celigin Global were on display too. The products are specially designed to reverse the signs of aging. The products on display included the ‘Celigin Brightening Peeling Toner Pad’; it exfoliates the skin and balances the pH level of the skin, as it has a pH level of 5.3.
