About SUNGWONCOSMETIC
SUNGWONCOSMETIC is a South Korean cosmetic brand with a focus on soap and bar-format products. The brand uses traditional Korean cosmetic ingredients (camellia, monagra, rice, charcoal) alongside functional additions (grapefruit, yogurt, gold parfum) to create targeted products. The lineup at skinsli covers the full range from facial care to hair care and baby use, all in bar or soap formats that are low-waste alternatives to packaged liquid products.
Pore Healing Story White and Black Pack (90g): Targeted Pore Care Soaps
The SUNGWONCOSMETIC Pore Healing Story White Pack (90g) and Black Pack (90g) are two pore-focused facial soaps. White Pack formulas in Korean skincare typically use brightening or sebum-balancing ingredients (often containing rice extract, white clay, or mild AHA). Black Pack formulas typically use activated charcoal, black clay, or bamboo charcoal for deep-cleansing and sebum absorption. Use as a facial cleanser at the end of a double-cleanse or as a standalone morning cleanser on combination to oily skin. Both are 90g facial-bar sizes that last 4-6 weeks with regular use.
Grapefruit Yogurt Soap (100g): Brightening Body and Facial Bar
The SUNGWONCOSMETIC Grapefruit Yogurt Soap (100g) combines grapefruit extract for brightening and vitamin C action with yogurt proteins for a lactic-acid-adjacent softening effect. It is versatile as a body bar or gentle facial soap. Grapefruit extract provides a fresh, citrus fragrance alongside antioxidant properties. The 100g size is the largest soap bar in the range and is suited for body use as well as face.
Gold Parfum Soap (75g): Luxury Scent Experience
The SUNGWONCOSMETIC Gold Parfum Soap (75g) is a fragrance-forward soap positioned as a luxury-experience bar. Gold in Korean cosmetics typically refers to colloidal gold or gold-adjacent ingredients associated with brightening and anti-inflammatory benefits. The 75g size is a standard hand and facial bar size. This product prioritises the sensory and fragrance experience alongside skin conditioning, making it a practical gifting option or an everyday bathroom soap for someone who values a premium scent during cleansing.
Everyone Hair Bar Shampoos: Woody and Camelia (100g Each)
The SUNGWONCOSMETIC Everyone Woody Hair Bar (100g) and Everyone Camelia Hair Bar (100g) are solid shampoo bars for hair cleansing. Hair bars are an eco-friendly alternative to bottled shampoo - no plastic bottle, concentrated formula, and suitable for travel. The Woody variant uses woody botanical ingredients and carries a more unisex, earthy scent. The Camelia variant uses camellia oil, a Korean hair care staple known for conditioning and strengthening fragile hair. Both are 100g bars, equivalent to approximately 2-3 bottles of liquid shampoo in concentrated form. Camellia is most beneficial for dry or fine hair; Woody suits normal to oily scalps.
Monagra Hair Bar (70g) and Monagra Hair Tonic (100ml): A Complete Scalp-Care Duo
The SUNGWONCOSMETIC Monagra Hair Bar (70g) and Monagra Hair Tonic (100ml) form a matched scalp-care system. Monagra refers to a botanical with scalp-health associations in Korean hair care. The 70g hair bar cleanses with the monagra active; the 100ml tonic is applied after cleansing as a scalp treatment to support healthy hair growth and scalp balance. Use the bar to wash and the tonic to treat - apply the tonic directly to the scalp after towel-drying, massaging it in without rinsing. This combination addresses both cleansing and post-cleanse scalp conditioning.
Omai Baby Bar (80g): Gentle Cleansing for Baby Skin
The SUNGWONCOSMETIC Omai Baby Bar (80g) is a gentle soap formulated for baby skin. Bar soaps for babies use the most conservative ingredient standards - no synthetic fragrances, no parabens, and mild surfactants that do not strip the developing skin barrier. The "Omai" naming in Korean culture suggests a tender, parental positioning. The 80g size is practical for bath time use. Adult sensitive-skin users often find baby soap bars gentler than adult formulations, making this suitable for adults with reactive or eczema-prone skin as well.
Tokomari Charcoal Rice Liquid Soap: Two Varieties
The SUNGWONCOSMETIC Tokomari Charcoal Rice Liquid Soap comes in two varieties (charcoal and rice) as new products in the range. Rice water and rice extract are traditional Korean ingredients for brightening and softening skin; activated charcoal is used for pore cleansing and sebum control. The liquid soap format is the most flexible - it can be used as a hand soap, body wash, or facial cleanser depending on concentration preferences. It is the only liquid-format product in the SUNGWONCOSMETIC lineup at skinsli, making it the most accessible for people who are not used to bar soap formats.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Which SUNGWONCOSMETIC products does skinsli carry?
skinsli carries 10 SUNGWONCOSMETIC products: Grapefruit Yogurt Soap (100g), Gold Parfum Soap (75g), Everyone Woody Hair Bar (100g), Monagra Hair Bar (70g), Monagra Hair Tonic (100ml), Omai Baby Bar (80g), Everyone Camelia Hair Bar (100g), Pore Healing Story White Pack Soap (90g), Pore Healing Story Black Pack Soap (90g), and Tokomari Charcoal Rice Liquid Soap (2 varieties).
Are SUNGWONCOSMETIC hair bar shampoos as effective as liquid shampoo?
Hair bars clean as effectively as liquid shampoo when used correctly. The technique differs slightly: wet both the bar and your hair thoroughly, rub the bar directly on the scalp and hair to create a lather, or rub the bar between your hands first to create foam and then apply the foam. Rinse thoroughly. Hair bars have a reputation for leaving residue if not rinsed fully - this is usually the result of insufficient rinsing rather than the bar itself. The SUNGWONCOSMETIC Camellia and Woody Hair Bars are formulated for regular daily use.
What is the difference between the SUNGWONCOSMETIC Pore Healing Story White and Black Pack soaps?
Both are 90g pore-focused facial bar soaps. The White Pack uses brightening and oil-balancing ingredients - typically white clay, rice, or brightening botanicals - for a clarifying clean with a lighter finish. The Black Pack uses charcoal or black clay for deep pore cleansing and sebum absorption, suited for oilier skin with visible congestion. For combination skin dealing with both issues, alternating the two (White Pack in the morning, Black Pack in the evening) is a practical approach to covering both sebum control and brightening.
Is the SUNGWONCOSMETIC Everyone Camelia Hair Bar suitable for fine or fragile hair?
Yes. Camellia oil is a lightweight, non-greasy botanical oil traditionally used in Korean and Japanese hair care for fine, fragile, or colour-treated hair. It strengthens the hair shaft without weighing it down. The Everyone Camelia Hair Bar (100g) is the better choice compared to the Woody variant for fine hair that needs conditioning alongside cleansing. Rinse thoroughly to avoid any film buildup, and follow with an apple cider vinegar rinse or a lightweight conditioner if switching from liquid shampoo and finding your hair needs an adjustment period.
How do I use the SUNGWONCOSMETIC Monagra Hair Tonic (100ml) after the Monagra Hair Bar?
After washing with the Monagra Hair Bar and rinsing, towel-dry your hair until it is damp but not dripping. Part your hair into sections and apply the Monagra Hair Tonic directly to the scalp - not the hair lengths - using the applicator tip. Massage gently with fingertips to distribute evenly. Do not rinse. Style as usual. The tonic supports scalp health and conditions the follicle environment after the cleansing step. Daily or alternate-day use during the scalp conditioning routine is standard.
Is the SUNGWONCOSMETIC Grapefruit Yogurt Soap (100g) for face or body?
The Grapefruit Yogurt Soap (100g) is a versatile bar suitable for both face and body. As a facial soap, it provides a brightening and gentle lactic-acid-adjacent cleanse - use it to replace your regular cleanser if you prefer bar formats. As a body soap, the 100g size makes it practical for daily shower use. Grapefruit extract can be mildly photosensitising in some formulas - if using as a facial soap, apply at night or ensure you follow with SPF in the morning.
Can adults with sensitive skin use the SUNGWONCOSMETIC Omai Baby Bar?
Yes. Baby soap bars are formulated to the most conservative ingredient standards and are appropriate for adult sensitive, reactive, or eczema-prone skin. The Omai Baby Bar (80g) avoids synthetic fragrances and harsh surfactants, which are the most common triggers for skin reactions. Adults with rosacea, contact dermatitis, or heightened fragrance sensitivity often find baby bar soap gentler than adult soap formulations. Use it as a daily facial or body bar - the 80g size is standard for both uses.
Is SUNGWONCOSMETIC on skinsli authentic and sourced from Korea?
Yes. skinsli sources SUNGWONCOSMETIC through authorised Korean wholesale channels. Products are shipped from a US-based facility. If you receive a product with unexpected packaging or labelling, contact skinsli support with photos.
