Our Carrot Rose Serum has always been a best-seller, and it's one of my personal favorites for its velvet-smooth texture and intoxicating aroma.


Our team wanted to amplify its benefits with added antioxidants, and I worked with our holistic chemist to infuse Carrot Rose with antioxidant-rich ingredients for the perfect, micronutrient match made in heaven.

But First, Glass Skin

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Korean glass skin? Maybe it’s those K-drama actresses with impossibly flawless, luminous skin—a complexion kissed by light.


Some might dismiss glass skin as just another beauty trend, but I'm here to challenge that.

Glass skin has deep roots in ancient Korean traditions, and my mom was nailing the look when I was a teenager—long before it became a trending hashtag.


Contrary to what most think, glass skin isn’t about piling on endless layers of products. It’s about creating a defense system that works smarter, not harder—and over time.

A Lesson in Skin Resilience

When I was young, my mom would always say, “Angie-ah, walk on the shady side of the street to protect your skin!” At the time, I thought she was just being overly cautious.


But now I understand—she was teaching me to protect my skin’s foundation before I even knew what that meant.


The biggest threat to that foundation? Free radicals. 

The Free Radical Threat

Free radicals are unstable molecules that wreak havoc on your skin. Triggered by sun exposure, pollution, stress, and even diet, these molecules attack from the inside out, leading to:

  • Collagen breakdown (hello, fine lines).
  • Inflammation (so long, calm complexion).
  • Accelerated aging (think dullness and uneven texture).
  • Weakened skin barrier (leaving you vulnerable to dryness and irritation).

"As we set out on this Carrot-Rose makeover, we were inspired to add not just CO-Q10, but some of the most powerful antioxidants that nature has to offer."

Here’s a visual that really helped me: free radicals are like the oxidation that causes rust on a car. Think about a rusty car—corroded and brown from repeated exposure to air and moisture. That’s oxidation breaking it down over time.


In the same way, free radicals attack your skin, wearing it down little by little. Free radicals are like rust on your skin. Just as oxidation causes a car to corrode over time, free radicals oxidize your skin—leading to brown spots, damaged cells, and a compromised barrier. The result? What I call "rusty skin."

Antioxidants: Your Skin’s Bodyguards

But here’s the good news: just like you can rust-proof a car, you can also “free radical-proof” your skin.


That’s where antioxidants come in. Think of them as your skin’s bodyguards—calm, steady, and always on defense—fighting off free radicals to keep a glass-skin complexion smooth and strong.

Antioxidants are like hitting the reset button for your skin:

  • They boost collagen to keep skin firm and smooth.
  • They calm inflammation to restore balance and clarity.
  • They repair the skin barrier by strengthening and protecting against oxidative stress.
  • They neutralize free radicals to prevent premature aging.

The glow of glass skin isn’t magic. It’s consistent care, and the right ingredients that actually work. Antioxidants aren’t optional—they’re essential.

The Korean Beauty Connection

For centuries, Korean beauty rituals have been rooted in nature and tradition. My mom and her sisters would layer antioxidant-rich oils and serums, cherishing ingredients like green tea and ginseng for their healing, restorative properties, precursors to today’s concept of glass skin.


Inspired by that heritage, we’ve combined the wisdom of Korean beauty with cutting-edge innovation in our Carrot Rose CoQ-10 Serum.

The Powerhouse Ingredients in Carrot Rose CoQ-10 Serum

Our formula is a love letter to your skin, blending potent ingredients for “rust-proof” skin:

  • CoQ10 : A powerful antioxidant that visibly firms, repairs, and protects your skin.
  • Astaxanthin : Nature’s most potent antioxidant, fighting oxidative stress and environmental damage.
  • Vitamin A (Carrot Seed Oil) : Boosts collagen, promotes cell turnover, and smooths texture.
  • Squalane : Hydrates deeply, supports the skin barrier, and leaves skin soft and supple.

Together, these ingredients create the ultimate defense system for your skin, protecting it from free radicals and delivering the timeless glow of glass skin.

My Carrot Rose CoQ-10 Glass Skin Beauty-Cocktail

I love using the Carrot Rose Serum both morning and night. But my favorite way to elevate the experience is with this beauty cocktail:

  • 1 pump Chamomile Moisture Mask
  • 1 pump Carrot Rose CoQ-10 Serum
  • 1 dollop Truffle Face Cream
  • 1 drop Fountain of Youth Restore

I find that Chamomile Moisture Mask alone needs to be rinsed off, however mix this cocktail in your palms, massage into clean skin, and leave it on overnight. You’ll wake up with silky, hydrated, glowing skin that feels like velvet.
