Whamisa Organic Fermented
Whamisa pioneered organic fermented skincare in Korea, steeping wildflowers and seeds for over 100 days before pressing them into essences, creams, and cleansers. The fermentation process breaks down plant cell walls so nutrients absorb faster, and the ferment itself works as a natural preservative, so nothing here relies on added water or synthetic preservatives. This lineup covers a full routine: a cleansing oil and foam cleanser, a fermented toner and lotion, nourishing and moisturizing creams, an eye essence, a facial oil, and a scalp tonic. Every formula shares the same organic fermentation base, just tuned for a different step.

Whamisa Organic Fermented skincare guide
Whamisa built its whole line around one idea: ferment organic wildflowers and seeds long enough, and the plant material breaks down into something skin can use immediately. Most bottles here skip added water entirely, so what you get is closer to a concentrate than a diluted lotion. Below is what each piece in this collection does and where it fits.
What organic fermentation actually changes
Whamisa steeps organic flowers, fruit, and seeds in a live ferment for over 100 days before pressing the liquid out. Fermentation breaks down plant cell walls, so the nutrients that would normally stay locked inside the plant become small enough for skin to absorb. It also acts as a natural preservative, which is why most of these formulas can skip synthetic preservatives and added water.
Cleansing Oil and Foam Cleansing Cream: the two-step cleanse
The Organic Flower Fermented Cleansing Oil (260ml) is the first step, dissolving sunscreen, makeup, and sebum without stripping skin. The Foam Cleansing Cream (150ml) follows as a second cleanse, a soft foam that clears any leftover oil and residue so the rest of the routine absorbs cleanly.
Toner Deep Rich and Lotion Dublic: the fermented hydration layer
The Toner Deep Rich (200ml) is the concentrated fermented liquid itself, applied straight after cleansing to start feeding skin. The Lotion Dublic (200ml) is a double-fermented step that sits between toner and cream, a light layer that locks in that first round of hydration before anything heavier goes on.
Nourishing Cream or Moisturizing Cream
Both creams come in 50ml jars and share the same fermented base, but they're built for different needs. The Nourishing Cream is the richer of the two, suited to dry skin, colder weather, or nighttime use. The Moisturizing Cream is lighter and absorbs faster, a better fit for daily wear or skin that leans oily or combination.
Eye Essence and Facial Oil Deep Rich for targeted spots
The Eye Essence (30ml) is formulated for the thinner skin around the eyes, applied with a light patting motion after toner. The Facial Oil Deep Rich (32ml) goes last, either worn alone over a light routine or mixed into cream to seal in everything underneath.
Scalp Tonic 165ml: fermentation past the hairline
The Scalp Tonic applies the same organic fermented approach to the scalp instead of the face. It's meant to be used directly on the scalp after washing or between shampoos, helping calm a scalp that runs tight, itchy, or oily without weighing hair down.
Putting together a Whamisa fermented routine
A simple order to start with: Cleansing Oil, then Foam Cleansing Cream, then Toner Deep Rich, then Lotion Dublic, then Eye Essence, then whichever cream fits the season, with Facial Oil Deep Rich layered on top when skin needs extra sealing. The Scalp Tonic runs on its own schedule alongside hair washing, not tied to the face routine.

Frequently asked questions
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What does "organic fermented" mean in Whamisa's skincare?
Whamisa ferments organic flowers, fruit, and seeds for over 100 days before pressing out the liquid. Fermentation breaks the plant material down into smaller, more absorbable pieces and works as a natural preservative, which is why most of these formulas skip added water and synthetic preservatives.
What's the difference between the Toner Deep Rich and Lotion Dublic?
The Toner Deep Rich (200ml) is the concentrated fermented liquid, applied right after cleansing. The Lotion Dublic (200ml) is a double-fermented step that follows it, a lighter layer that seals in that hydration before cream goes on.
Should I use the Cleansing Oil or the Foam Cleansing Cream first?
Start with the Cleansing Oil (260ml) to dissolve sunscreen, makeup, and sebum, then follow with the Foam Cleansing Cream (150ml) as a second cleanse to clear any leftover oil so the rest of the routine can absorb.
Which cream should I pick, Nourishing or Moisturizing?
Both are 50ml jars built on the same fermented base. The Nourishing Cream is richer, better for dry skin or nighttime. The Moisturizing Cream is lighter and faster-absorbing, a better daily pick for oilier or combination skin.
How do I use the Scalp Tonic 165ml?
Apply it directly to the scalp after shampooing or between washes. It carries the same organic fermented base as the face products, just aimed at calming a scalp that runs tight, itchy, or oily.
Are these formulas preservative-free, and how should I store them?
The fermentation process itself acts as a natural preservative system, so Whamisa avoids adding synthetic preservatives. Keep bottles away from direct heat and sunlight, and check the batch code printed on the box to gauge freshness.
Where do the Eye Essence and Facial Oil Deep Rich go in my routine?
Pat the Eye Essence (30ml) around the eye area after toner and lotion. Layer the Facial Oil Deep Rich (32ml) last, either on its own or mixed into cream, to seal in everything applied before it.
