Dried Orange Peel
Dried orange peel is one ingredient that many might be familiar with. It has a whole slew of benefits, including the ability to promote healthy skin and improve blood circulation by enhancing lymphatic drainage. The major nutrient in dried orange peel is vitamin C - which is known to help protect skin from free radical damage and reduce signs of fatigue.
Dried orange peel also contains levels of calcium, potassium and magnesium, which help to preserve moisture in skin and may also prevent oxidative stress in the skin’s cells as well as DNA damage, thus providing an anti-aging solution.

Dried orange peel can be found in the Boryundan formula of The History of Whoo’s Gongjinhyang: Soel Radiant White Eye Serum.

Red Sage
Red sage (also known as Chinese salvia, Chinese sage and red-root sage) is said to be one of the most highly valued herbs in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). The “red” part of its name is derived from the fact that the root area of this plant is red – the flowers themselves are actually purple. The health benefits of this oriental herb includes promotion of blood flow and internal detoxification.
Red sage also has major antioxidant properties, which helps to encourage healthy cellular growth of the skin. When used in beauty products, its beneficial qualities can aid in diminishing inflammation and restoring the brightness and radiance of the skin’s surface.
Red sage is used in the Seollyundan formula of The History of Whoo's Gongjinhyang: Soel Radiant White Eye Serum.
3/4
Gallnut
Despite the name, Chinese gall (also known as Chinese gallnuts) aren’t actually nuts at all! Commonly grown on the Chinese sumac tree, Chinese gall is produced when the tree reacts to irritants released by the Chinese sumac aphid.
While the main health benefits of Chinese gall come from its antibacterial properties, it is also highly prized for its effect on the skin. Due to the astringent nature of the large amount of tannins in the herb, Chinese gall is able to promote the healing of your skin, reduce scarring, detoxify, and dispel heat.

When Chinese gall is used topically, it can help to dispel dullness around the eye area to restore brightness and improve the appearance of dark eye circles.

Gallnut is used in the Seollyundan formula of The History of Whoo's Gongjinhyang: Soel Radiant White Eye Serum.

Peony Root
Peony root is a common ingredient used in TCM for its abilities to relieve pain and inflammation. It is also used to nourish the blood and preserve the body’s ‘yin’. If you suffer from a pale and dull complexion, peony root may be the key to helping you regain your radiance and regulate the circulation of your blood.
Used topically in skincare products, this oriental herb may be capable of dispelling dullness in the skin tone. While the area around the eye can be very delicate, the use of peony root can provide a natural and gentle way to restore brightness to the eye area and improve the instances of dark eye circles.

Peony root is used in the Boryundan formula of The History of Whoo’s Gongjinhyang: Soel Radiant White Eye Serum.
