Introduced in 2020, Kahi is a Korean skincare company that has become one of the hottest beauty brands in Korea since they debuted. The name, Kahi, is a combination of the first and last letters in the Hangul alphabet. Their philosophy is “beauty with skincare” and they hope to revitalize the natural power of the skin through their products. They look for solutions in the simplest ways. A no fuss, no muss sort of attitude when it comes to creating skincare products that will make life.. or maybe your skincare routine simpler. Oh, and one more thing: glabridin seems to be also an antioxidant, which is just one more reason to be happy about licorice root extract on an ingredient list. Similar to its exterior, the balm comes in a pale yellow color. It’s scented with a mild, slightly sweet smell. I wasn’t a fan of the chalky texture initially as it leaves some flakes and a white cast. However, once you gently blend it out with fingers, you’ll be good to go. According to Yi, Kim was able to swipe on the multi balm so naturally on screen for "The King: Eternal Monarch" because she actually reaches for it in real life. She loves it so much that she's since become a global ambassador for the brand. Filmexel is an ingredient produced by Silab, a French engineering company. Not much is known about Filmexel except from the company’s promotional material. Filmexel is a biopolymer that forms a natural film on the skin to protect the skin as a barrier against allergens and reduce wrinkles. My review of Wrinkle Bounce Multi Balm

Sunscreens containing Titanium Dioxideare often hard to spread on the skin and they leave a disturbing whitishtint. The cosmetic industry is, of course, really trying to solve this problemand the best solution so far is using nanoparticles. The itsy-bitsy Nano-sized particles improveboth spreadability and reduce the whitish tint a lot, but unfortunately, it also introduces new health concerns.

Before Kahi Wrinkle Bounce Multi Balm went viral on TikTok, it was featured frequently in K-dramas and music videos by international artistes. Korean actress Kim Go Eun is the face of Kahi Wrinkle Bounce Multi Balm. The actress was seen using the balm frequently in her dramas, The King: Eternal Monarch in 2020 and and Yumi’s Cells in 2021. More recently in 2022, in Extraordinary Attorney Woo, Kahi Wrinkle Bounce Multi Balm enjoyed significant screen time. My Thoughts: This is a lovely fine light mist with a light scent that left my skin dewy and fresh feeling. Mists are super easy to use, just hold the bottle about 6 inches away from your face and spray evenly. I tend to use mists a bit more in the winter when I’m feeling especially dry throughout the day. You can mist anytime for smoother, hydrated skin. There was a light scent but I liked it personally. I loved this mist. I haven’t used a mist in awhile, actually I think the Aqulabo Jelly Mist was the last one I used regularly. Mists seem to be something I forget I love. This one has been just appealing and rather addicting.Butylene Glycol Dicaprylate/Dicaprate, Dimethicone, Silica, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Polyethylene, Butyloctyl Salicylate, Vinyl Dimethicone/Methicone Silsesquioxane Crosspolymer, Diphenylsiloxy Phenyl Trimethicone, Dicaprylyl Carbonate, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, Triethylhexanoin, Paraffin, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine, Octocrylene, Sorbitan Isostearate, Microcrystalline Wax, Oil Soluble Licorice(​Glycyrrhiza) Extract, Caesalpinia Spinosa Fruit Extract, Bacillus Ferment, Candida/Garcinia Cambogia Ferment, Kappaphycus Alvarezii Extract, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Germ Oil, Schisandra Chinensis Fruit Extract, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Lithospermum Erythrorhizon Root Extract, Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) Root Extract, Phytosteryl/Isostearyl/Cetyl/Stearyl/Behenyl Dimer Dilinoleate, Hydrogenated Polyisobutene, Ethylhexyl Hydroxystearate, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Propylene Carbonate, Caprylyl Glycol, Glyceryl Caprylate, Adenosine, Aluminum Hydroxide, Triethoxycaprylylsilane, Tocopherol, Purified Water, Butylene Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Soluble Proteoglycan, Sodium DNA, Fragrance, Benzylparaben, Hexyl Cinnamal, Benzyl Salicylate, Hydroxycitronellal, Citronellol, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Linalool, Titanium Dioxide, Bismuth Oxychloride, Gardenia Florida Fruit Extract Creating a dewy glow with delicate pearl particles, the hypoallergenic High Lighter offers moisturizing, brightening and wrinkle care effects. It’s suitable for those who want to add a lightweight, natural shimmer to their bare face. Anyway, it doesn't matter if it reflects or absorbs, Titanium Dioxide is a pretty awesome sunscreen agent for two main reasons: it gives a nice broad spectrum coverage and it's highly stable. Its protection is very good between 290 - 350 nm (UVB and UVA II range), and less goodat 350-400 nm (UVA I) range. Regular sized Titanium Dioxide also has a great safetyprofile, it's non-irritating and is pretty much free from any health concerns (like estrogenic effect worries with some chemical filters). I struggle with acne scars and uneven skin tone so I’m always looking for a brightening product. Many that I’ve tried were harsh and drying, leading to flaky skin. I love that this balm is highly moisturizing and nourishing. In addition to seeing my acne scars fading, my skin felt smoother and healthier over time. Aqua Balm Compared to the Extin C Balm and Aqua Balm, I found the Eye Balm’s scent more artificially sweet. Even though all four products contain licorice extract, I smelled that ingredient most strongly on this product. The Eye Balm is more translucent than the others, like a lip balm. It applies smoothly on skin much like the Aqua Balm, but with a slightly oilier finish, perhaps due to the extra nourishing care it offers to sensitive under-eye skin.

I found Kahi Wrinkle Bounce Multi Balm to be moisturising when used on my lips. However, this was something my other lip balms could also achieve. Ingredient list for Kahi Wrinkle Bounce Multi Balm.

But if you want a neat summary, collagen in skincare, even if hydrolysed or fragmented, have molecular sizes that are too large to pass through the skin’s basement membrane to be incorporated into the dermis.Ethylhexyl Triazone, aka Uvinul T 150, another new generation sunscreen agent with super-high UVB protection Lately, I’ve been heading to bed later than I should (oops), and found myself waking up to unsightly dark circles. Although under-eye concealer provides a more immediate fix, I love using this Eye Balm for long-lasting care. In addition to brightening my dark circles, I appreciate that it’s multifunctional and can smooth out laugh lines or crow’s feet while boosting hydration. Because of its oilier finish, I tend not to use it in the daytime, reserving it for nighttime application so it can comfortably nourish my skin as I sleep. High Lighter
