Within this situation, ‘ORJENA,’ a skin-care brand claiming to stand for ‘good cosmetic products’ is receiving attention by releasing the ORJENA botanical line using yam extracts, instead of the mucin ingredient from snails.

According to ORJENA, it has been proved that phyto mucin, which is extract from yam, exhibits a more outstanding regeneration effect and moisturizing force compared to the mucin ingredient from snails, as a result of conducting an experiment through the Oriental Medicine Bio-Industry Clinical Support Center of Semyung University of Korea. As such, the company became to present the ORJENA botanical line using yam extracts.

Mucin is a muco-substance secreted from the mucous membrane of snails, which plays the function of controlling the moisture level of the skin and forming skin protective films. The phyto mucin ingredient extracted from yam exhibits outstanding skin regeneration effect, in addition to these functions, thus, creates a clean and elastic skin. In addition, it shows the effect of soothing and detoxifying the toxin of the skin.

Accordingly, the ORJENA botanical line using vegetable raw materials as the main ingredient is recognized as an eco-friendly product with excellent safety.

The ORJENA botanical line is divided into basic cosmetic products such as toner, emulsion, essence, serum, day cream, anti-aging cream, and eye cream, and cleansing products, such as foaming cleansers. This line is composed of hypo-allergenic cosmetic products that can be used with assurance even on sensitive skin, as it has maximally excluded the use of stimulus elements such as paraben, preservatives, and silicon, and has been certified as wrinkle-improvement cosmetic products from the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety.

In the meanwhile, ORJENA is planning to be presented in the 44^th China Guangzhou Beauty Exposition this coming March, at the time of obtaining a sanitary license in China.
