About Sikmulnara

Sikmulnara (식물나라, "plant country") is a South Korean naturalism skincare brand first launched in 1993 by CJ as one of Korea's first mass-market cosmetics lines sold through supermarkets rather than specialty stores. After fading, it was revived by CJ Olive Young, which now operates it as a value-priced private brand built on simple, plant-derived formulas. It is best known in Korea as an affordable, high-volume suncare line widely sold through Olive Young.
