House of Dohwa: Modern Korean Skincare with Roots in the Beauty of Nature and Time.
House of Dohwa is a prime example of how modern day Korean Skincare brands harness the beauty of nature-derived ingredients in innovative, highly effective skincare formulas by curating home-aesthetic skincare products that pay homage to ancestors before them; who discovered the skin benefits of nature for skin that we still used today. House of Dohwa take pride in continuing to use ingredients such as Rice Grains to power their skincare products, alike how rice was used centuries ago to alleviate common skin conditions such as dryness, redness, hyperpigmentation from sun exposure, and more.
Taking its meaning from "a person being as beautiful as a peach flower", House of Dohwa, re-discovers the 'natural balance and harmony between sun and skin' by revitalizing skin's natural beauty with home grown plant-sourced ingredients cultivated from Korean soil.
Also known as Dohwa Gain, this rising cruelty-free, vegan, and eco-friendly Korean skincare brand, use a harmonious blend of 9 Korean-grown wild rice strains harvested across several regions of South Korea. With Korea being a mountainous country largely covered by preserved land, the wild rice used has grown in nourishing and flourishing environments which have seen both the coldest of Winters and warmest of Summers - drawing in the nutrients of the land for maximum efficiency when encapsulated in House of Dohwa's expanding selection of skincare products.
House of Dohwa are an environmentally conscious Korean skincare brand using domestically harvested ingredients to reduce their carbon footprint, and refrain from using excess packaging. Their toner and powder face wash for example do not come in cardboard boxes or plastic wrappers - alternatively, these products are delicately wrapped paper in a traditional style wrapping with minimal wording printed on them. Their packaging overall is widely recyclable.
House of Dohwa are 100% Cruelty-free, with the majority of their products also being Vegan.
WHY RICE EXTRACTS?
Rice extracts have gained significant attention in the skincare industry due to their numerous benefits. Rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, rice extracts provide exceptional nourishment to the skin. They possess moisturizing properties that help maintain the skin's hydration levels, leaving it supple and soft.
The extracts also contain natural brightening agents that promote a more even skin tone and reduce the appearance of dark spots and pigmentation. Furthermore, rice extracts have soothing and anti-inflammatory properties, making them ideal for sensitive and irritated skin. They help calm redness, reduce inflammation, and improve the overall texture of the skin.
With their ability to enhance collagen production, rice extracts also aid in diminishing fine lines and wrinkles, promoting a more youthful complexion. In summary, the benefits of rice extracts in skincare encompass hydration, brightening, soothing, and anti-aging effects, making them a valuable ingredient in various steps of your Korean skincare routine.
