The CHALUV (Cha- tea, Luv- love) Green Tea line thought about helping the environment by using recycled paper made by mixing green tea with pulp discarded while selecting the packaging material. They are also working hard to use containers that can be recycled using PET when possible. However, the Chaluv Green Tea line is trying to exclude ingredients that are harmful or irritating to the skin as much as possible and avoid using ingredients or raw materials that threaten the environment.

Chaluv products are suitable for sensitive skin, have moisturizing and soothing effects and contain 96% Jeju green tea extract. One of the world's three most extensive green tea plantations is located on Jeju Island. Green tea's efficacy as a cosmetic ingredient is anti-wrinkle and anti-oxidant and also has excellent soothing, detoxifying, and whitening effects. The line is alcohol, fragrance, and colour free. The Green tea line focuses on three main points: calm, protect, and moisturize the skin.

CHALUV GREEN TEA SOOTHING TONER

As the name suggests, the toner was designed for people who struggle with regular cosmetics because of how their sensitive skin reacts. Based on her experiences in a cosmetic salon, Mrs Lee came up with the idea of blending green tea with a saline solution to ensure the soothing and moisturizing effect of the toner. Saline is a mixture of sodium chloride (salt) and water and has several uses in medicine. The focus was to create a toner that calms and soothes sensitive skin while providing moisture.

The Green Tea Soothing toner contains Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Glycerin, Panthenol and Allantoin. It comes in a 300 ml PET container with a simple lid. The scent is almost non-existent, and the texture is watery. You can use the toner in the first step of your routine after cleansing and then proceed with a serum. As an extra soothing and moisturizing step, you can apply the toner on a cotton pad which you then place on any sensitive area of your skin for five to ten minutes and then follow with the serum.

CHALUV GREEN TEA SOOTHING BUBBLE SERUM

The bubble serum contains 18 essential amino acids that help to strengthen the skin´s protective barrier. Four different sized hyaluronic acids help the skin retain moisture more effectively. The serum is packed with soothing ingredients such as Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Aloe Vera, Centella Asiatica extract, chamomile, oatmeal and allantoin.

Mrs Lee Kyounga had people with sensitive skin in mind when developing this serum. She wanted to create a light serum that customers could easily layer without leaving the skin feeling sticky and overwhelmed. She also wanted to use natural soothing ingredients. Therefore she came up with a unique foaming container to create rich bubbles without using a chemical compound. Customers can easily layer the serum for a better moisturizing effect. It absorbs nicely into the skin leaving it soft and hydrated. The scent is very gently and the formula which uses green tea instead of water is superb.

I appreciate the see-through container, so I know how much product I have left. The pump is unique, and I like the foam that forms after shaking the container. The foam is light which is great for my oily prone skin. It does not clog my pores, and it keeps my skin hydrated and soothed. I used this serum after a chemical peeling, and it instantly calmed my skin, and the redness of my skin subsided. I wholeheartedly recommend the serum for people with sensitive skin and also for people who want to keep their skin moisturized and hydrated without the worry of clogging their pores or triggering a breakout.

CHALUV GREEN TEA SOOTHING CREAM

The soothing cream contains oil extracted from natural coconut to form a protective film on the skin and inhibit moisture evaporation. Other ingredients include squalane, Aloe Vera Leaf Extract, Allantoin, Shea Butter, Panthenol, Adenosine or Glycosaminoglycans. The primary function of glycosaminoglycans is to support the most important structural proteins of the skin: collagen and elastin. Glycosaminoglycans are water-binding molecules that can hold nearly 1,000 times their weight, which helps provide moisture to the skin.

The cream comes in a transparent tube and is easily applied. The texture is a rich white cream that moisturizes and nourishes the skin. You can use it as the last step before the sun protection cream in your morning routine or as the final step in your evening routine. If you want extra hydration and moisture, apply the cream in a thicker layer as an overnight pack.

The CHALUV green tea line is a superb option for keeping a simple yet effective skincare routine. The products are multifunctional and will become an essential part of your skincare routine.
