SKIN1004

Founded in 2012 in South Korea, SKIN1004 is a functional skincare brand with a stated mission: to select only the highest quality ingredients and formulate them without compromise. The name "1004" (cheonsa = angel) reflects the philosophy of purity that guides every product.

Certifications: PETA cruelty-free and vegan · CGMP (Cosmetic Good Manufacturing Practice) · GACP (Good Agricultural and Collection Practices) Ingredients

Global presence in over 60 countries, with growing recognition in both the mainstream K-Beauty market and the most demanding skincare communities.

"Whatever touches the skin must be pristine" – everything that comes into contact with the skin must be pure. This is not an empty slogan; it is a criterion for ingredient selection.

SKIN1004 works with Madagascar Centella Asiatica because the island's climatic and soil conditions produce a plant with a higher than average concentration of active ingredients. Cultivation follows the GACP protocol, which ensures traceability, responsible harvesting, and the absence of contaminants.

Formulas are built around a few key active ingredients, in high concentration, without superfluous components. The choice to be cruelty-free and vegan is structural, not a marketing ploy

Madagascar Centella Asiatica (GACP): the brand's signature active ingredient, with soothing, regenerating, and barrier-protective action. High concentrations throughout the core line.

Main Lines:

• Centella Line (green and gold packaging): the original range, focused on pure Centella for sensitive and reactive skin
• Hyalu-Cica Line (blue packaging): Centella + hyaluronic acid for deep hydration and soothing
• Probio-Cica Line (brown packaging): Centella + probiotics to support the skin microbiome
• Tea-Trica Line (green packaging): tea tree extract + Centella for acne-prone skin

If you use intensive active ingredients, evaluate the frequency and combinations based on your skin's tolerance

• What is Centella Asiatica from Madagascar and why is it different? Centella Asiatica cultivated in Madagascar grows in particular climatic conditions that promote a higher-than-average concentration of asiaticoside, madecassoside, and their derivatives. SKIN1004 sources it according to the GACP protocol, which guarantees the traceability and purity of the ingredient from cultivation to formula
• Is SKIN1004 suitable for very sensitive skin? Yes. The formulas are designed without artificial fragrances, colorants, and denatured alcohol. The Primary Skin Irritation Testing protocol is applied to lines designed for reactive skin. It is one of the most chosen brands by those with sensitive skin, even in the international dermatological community
• What is the difference between the various lines? Each SKIN1004 line addresses a specific problem: Centella core for sensitivity, Hyalu-Cica for hydration, Probio-Cica for the microbiome, Tea-Trica for acne, Poremizing for pores, Tone Brightening for dark spots. You can build a single-brand routine or integrate individual products into your existing skincare routine.
