Inner Beauty: The Rise of Edible Beauty
True radiance comes from within. Discover the Korean trend of 'Inner Beauty' supplements like collagen films and glutathione.
Do you feel like applying skincare is no longer enough? In 2025, K-Beauty has expanded beyond topical applications to "Edible Beauty." The Inner Beauty market is exploding not just with pills, but with delicious jellies, dissolvable films, and drinks.
Beauty You Eat
1. Low-Molecular Collagen
Collagen is the key to skin elasticity, but the molecules are often too large to be absorbed by creams alone.
- The Trend: High-absorption Low-Molecular Fish Collagen in jelly strips or powder sticks. They taste like grape or peach juice—no fishy taste at all!
2. Glutathione Films
Known as the main ingredient in the "White Jade Injection" (whitening IV drips).
- The Innovation: Instead of a painful shot, Koreans are placing Oral Dissolving Films (ODF) on the roof of their mouth. It absorbs directly into the bloodstream through the mucous membrane for a brightening effect.
3. Hyaluronic Acid
The moisture bomb that tackles dryness from the inside out. Just two small pills can help your skin retain water better than a heavy cream.
A Tasty Daily Habit
The best part? They are easy to carry and taste like treats. True "Honey Skin" (Kkul-gwang) starts from within. Start your Inner Beauty routine today.
