Brand Overview
Yunjac is a Korean luxury skincare brand developed by Shinsaegae Group, one of South Korea’s major retail conglomerates. The brand positions itself in the premium skincare market by combining traditional Korean botanical ingredients with contemporary formulation technologies. Yunjac’s product development approach focuses on addressing the skincare needs of modern consumers through scientifically-backed formulations that incorporate native Korean plant materials.
The brand’s signature concept, termed the “Whole Plant Effect,” represents their approach to ingredient utilization, which involves extracting compounds from multiple parts of plants including roots, stems, and flowers. This methodology aims to capture a broader spectrum of plant-derived active compounds in their formulations. Additionally, Yunjac employs SkinActiv technology, which utilizes multi-layered liposomal encapsulation systems designed to enhance the stability and delivery of active ingredients to the skin.
Yunjac operates within the competitive luxury K-beauty segment, where brands differentiate themselves through unique ingredient sourcing, advanced formulation technologies, and premium positioning. The brand’s backing by Shinsaegae Group provides substantial resources for research and development, as well as established distribution channels within South Korea’s retail landscape. This corporate foundation positions Yunjac to compete in the growing market for high-end Korean skincare products both domestically and internationally.
