We’re honoured to be featured in Busan Ilbo (부산일보), the most established and respected newspaper in our hometown, Busan.
The article covers BLUEKKIT’s pre-launch debut at TONES OF BEAUTY 2025 in London, held from 30 June to 1 July 2025, where we introduced our sea-kelp-based skincare line.
Over 100 visitors joined us for demonstrations and consultations at our booth, and our stand was bustling with people throughout the two-day event. We even ran out of all the trial kits we had prepared. We’re deeply grateful to everyone who came to visit us.
We’re also excited to share that BLUEKKIT has been selected for BUSAN TOURISM STARTUP 2025 (2025 부산관광스타트업), a programme backed by the Busan Metropolitan City Government that supports innovative local startups with global potential. This opportunity is helping us grow not only as a skincare brand, but as a story of hometown pride, tourism, and meaningful gifting.
Our journey began in 2010 as a small skincare salon in Busan, and over the years we’ve grown into a cosmetic manufacturer rooted in family, care, and craftsmanship. (And yes, our family still runs massage salons in Busan!)
While Korean skincare continues to gain global recognition, very few brands manufacture their products from start to finish.
We’re proud to be one of fewer than 200 cosmetic manufacturers in Busan that produce everything in-house, from formulation to final product. This allows us to ensure quality at every stage and stay true to what matters most: clean formulas, sustainable choices, and never compromising on ingredients.
Busan is South Korea’s second-largest city and a beautiful coastal destination surrounded by sea and mountains. Known for its beaches, rich marine biodiversity, and incredible seafood, it’s also where we source many of our natural ingredients.
We’re proud to contribute to the local economy through innovation, manufacturing, and global expansion.
We’re currently preparing to launch BLUEKKIT in both Busan and London.
We’ll keep doing our best to bring back exceptional products for sensitive, dry skin! 🌊
