  • Korean brand Grainon has expanded its business into the cosmetics sector with its new brand, BAELL.
  • BAELL utilizes 'Farro,' an ancient grain used in Grainon's health food products, as a key ingredient in its skincare line.
  • The brand aims to leverage Farro's antioxidant properties for anti-aging and skin tone improvement.

The Korean health food brand Grainon is venturing into the cosmetics market, launching a new skincare line under the brand name BAELL. This strategic expansion leverages Grainon's expertise in utilizing ancient grains, specifically Farro, which is a core ingredient in its popular health food products.

BAELL's product development centers on Farro, an ancient grain that Grainon has previously incorporated into its health food offerings, such as its 'Capsulation Enzyme.' The brand claims to be the first globally to apply Farro extracts, Farro water, and Farro extracts in cosmetic formulations. This innovative approach aims to harness the grain's natural benefits for skin health.

The skincare products from BAELL are designed to capitalize on Farro's rich antioxidant content. The line focuses on addressing concerns such as uneven skin tone, blemishes, and signs of aging. The flagship product, the 'Farro Radiance Cream Ampoule,' is formulated with key Farro components like ferulic acid, polyphenols, and dietary fiber, which are promoted for their benefits in enhancing skin elasticity and providing anti-aging effects. Additionally, the ampoule contains niacinamide and ascorbyl glucoside, known for skin brightening, and glutathione, an antioxidant.

Grainon's move into cosmetics signifies a growing trend of cross-industry innovation, where ingredients traditionally associated with food and health are being explored for their potential in beauty and personal care. The brand's focus on ancient grains and their scientifically-backed benefits positions BAELL to appeal to consumers seeking natural and effective skincare solutions.
