In the skincare sector, clean beauty products that avoid animal testing and the use of animal-derived ingredients have particularly stood out, pursuing ethical consumption. Products like the single-ingredient Nottsiback One Shot Cape Aloe containing 100% Cape Aloe leaf, the industry's first label-free container by Tony Moly Wonder Vegan Label Ceramide Mochi Soothing Toner, and Hublum's vegan beauty oil made from only naturally derived plant ingredients have shown their presence in various categories. Additionally, in the cream toner sector, Labcl's Peptide Cream Skin Moisturizing Toner, in the essence toner sector, Leaders Cosmetic's Leaders Calming Biotics Essence Water, and in the anti-aging cream sector, Sulwhasoo's Jaum Balancing Cream Soft took the top spots, confirming consumer needs for hydration, soothing, moisturizing, as well as care for compromised skin barriers and early anti-aging. Notably, the regular award-winning brand Estra won an impressive seven awards, proving its popularity among consumers this year, and it will be interesting to see if it can maintain its position next year.
