Get to know SKIN1004

We at KS had the privilege to meet with one of our most sought after brands. Without further ado, let’s dive into the world of SKIN1004, an award-winning and natural skincare brand from South Korea. You've probably spotted their iconic Centella line on Instagram, TikTok, and basically every other cool platform out there. Seriously, who isn't obsessed with this K-beauty powerhouse? 

Rose and Charlie flew all the way from South Korea to The Netherlands, and it was amazing to hear them speak with so much passion about SKIN1004. Rose is account manager and makes sure that all B2B sales run smoothly while Charlie focuses on the European market and is Key Account Manager at SKIN1004.

We’re absolute beauty geeks, so we’re always curious to know the story behind a brand and especially the name. So we of course had to ask the team, can you elaborate more on the name? You’re probably wondering how to pronounce SKIN1004 correctly, and we have the answer! It’s Skin-one-o-o-four and it has a pretty cool meaning! Rose and Charlie explained that when you pronounce 1004 in Korean, it sounds the same way as the word Angel. 천사 or Cheon-Sa to be exact. So the translation is in fact, Skin Angel!

“Certainly! Centella proves to be effective in soothing and repairing the skin, while also being anti-inflammatory. It’s a wonderful ingredient for the skin! We source it from various countries in Southeast Asia, with a special emphasis on Madagascar. This unpolluted environment with fewer inhabitants, shows that their Centella has 7 times more active ingredients than other sources.”

They explain that SKIN1004 has 6 different lines catering to 6 different skin types:

Normal skin: Centella line
Dry skin: Hyalu-Cica, Probio-Cica line
Oily skin: Poremizing line
Acne-prone skin: Tea-Trica line
Combination skin: Centella line on dry parts, Tea-Trica and Poremizing on other parts
Sensitive skin: Centella line, Probio-Cica line
