In this episode of Love, Saranghae, Peter and Andrea get real about something most brands avoid talking about: batch-to-batch variation in natural skincare.
Ever opened your favorite serum and noticed the color or scent seemed a little different than last time? You’re not imagining things, and it’s not a bad sign. It’s actually proof that you’re getting real, natural ingredients that haven’t been masked with artificial dyes or fragrances.
Peter and Andrea break down why this happens, how natural ingredients fluctuate with seasonality and sourcing, and why this variation is a feature, not a flaw. From the philosophy of naked formulations to the science of ingredient bioavailability, this episode gives a transparent (and reassuring) look into the world of natural skincare manufacturing.
What You’ll Learn:
✔ What batch-to-batch variation actually means
✔ Why it’s more common in natural skincare than synthetic products
✔ How harvest season impacts ingredients like adaptogenic mushrooms
✔ Why synthetic ingredients are cheaper, but not always better
✔ The pros and cons of using essential oils and fragrances to mask variation
✔ What naked formulation is (and why Saranghae is committed to it)
✔ How to think about slight changes in smell, color, or texture, and why it’s a sign of authenticity, not inconsistency
