About SSUNSU

Founder's Note

I grew up in Korea, where skincare is a lifelong ritual. But the discovery that changed everything for me wasn't a trending serum—it was an ingredient my mother quietly relied on every day: 6-year aged Korean Red Ginseng. The results were undeniable, but the bitter taste wasn't designed for modern life. So, I decided to change that." – Jenny You, Founder

A Glow Discovery That Began From Within

6-Year Korean Red Ginseng

Though Jenny had always associated ginseng with traditional wellness tonics, curiosity led her to try 6-year aged Korean red ginseng, the most potent and extensively studied grade.

The results were immediate and undeniable.
Her skin felt calmer, brighter, and more resilient in a way no topical routine had ever achieved.

“That’s when I realized that true skin wellness doesn’t begin on the surface. It begins from within.” Jenny shares.


But almost as quickly, another problem became clear.

A Powerful Ingredient With a Modern Problem

Bitter. Impractical.

Despite its benefits, high-quality aged ginseng wasn’t designed for modern daily life.

It was bitter, medicinal and inconvenient.

And often positioned for older users — not modern beauty consumers.

“The results were amazing but I hated the taste. And I knew that if I couldn’t take it consistently, most people wouldn’t either.” Jenny recalled.

That frustration became the starting point for SSUNSU.

Reimagining Ginseng for Everyday Beauty

The Start of SSUNSU

Jenny asked a simple question:

What if ginseng could be taken daily in a joyful, effortless, and consistent way?

The answer became a category-defining idea.

SSUNSU launched the world’s first Korean Ginseng Beauty Jelly, formulated with 6-year aged Korean red ginseng, hyaluronic acid, collagen, and glutathione.

And with refreshing Jeju citrus, the jelly transformed a bitter ingredient into a daily ritual people genuinely enjoyed. Chilled, frozen, or straight from the pack.

What began as a supplement quickly became a daily moment of care.

The response was overwhelming, with over 420,000 sold.

From Inner Glow to Ginseng-Powered Skincare

Glow Inside and Out

As SSUNSU grew, one thing became clear: people didn’t just enjoy the experience, they trusted the results.

They wanted that same calm, resilient glow not only from within, but on their skin too.

Working closely with formulation and R&D partners, Jenny expanded SSUNSU into a curated skincare range built on the same founding belief:

Skincare should calm, nourish, and support the skin, not strip or overwhelm it.

A Thoughtful Approach to Ginseng Formulation

Ginseng Water

Today, SSUNSU’s skincare line includes a cleanser, toner, serum, moisturiser, and sunscreen. Each carefully formulated to work with the skin, not against it.

In a deliberate formulation decision, SSUNSU replaced ordinary purified water, the base of most skincare, withginseng-derived water systems, adding purpose and intent to every formula.

Fermented ginseng and thoughtfully selected active pairings are used to enhance ginseng’s natural benefits, while maintaining balance and skin compatibility.

A New Approach to Ginseng-Powered Beauty

Simple, Enjoyable Glow

Today, SSUNSU is shaping a new approach to ginseng-powered beauty. Blending heritage ingredients with modern formulation science to create calm, consistent, everyday rituals.

From ingestible beauty to skincare, SSUNSU re-engineers how ginseng is processed and formulated.

Jenny sums it up best: “The glow should be simple, enjoyable, and rooted in what truly works. For me, that begins with ginseng.”

From centuries-old tradition to modern ritual, SSUNSU continues to redefine the glow, one jelly and one nourishing skincare step at a time.
