About the Lemongrass Series

'Niacinamide 5 Pads,' a Japan-exclusive product co-developed by the popular beauty YouTuber 'Cosmetweety Sarah' and Korean cosmetics brand 'SKINFOOD (Skin Food),' has received widespread acclaim since launch, winning numerous Best Cosmetics awards in both Japan and South Korea. This success stems from its thoughtful design, which incorporates genuine viewer feedback.

Building on this popularity, in May 2026, the second wave of product development launched with Japan-exclusive 'Sheet Masks' and 'Creams,' further expanding the series.

The original products of the series—'Niacinamide 5 Pads' and 'Lemongrass Niacinamide 20 Serum'—remain bestsellers, beloved by countless users.

Now, to reach even more customers, distribution will expand into offline (physical) retail stores.
