HwaHae Consumer Beauty Awards 2020

HwaHae Consumer Beauty Awards 2020 (Final Winners)

The digital era has paved the way for misinformation to reach consumers globally, and this is especially prevalent within the beauty industry. Today, consumers are wary of this, and so rely heavily on user-generated content such as reviews, and information that has come from reputable third parties.

HwaHae found its way onto the market in 2013 with a simple mission – to give Korean Beauty consumers access to accurate, detailed information about cosmetic products to help them make informed choices. The app is designed to help provide a transparent service that overcomes some of the negative side effects of the digital age.

What is HwaHae?

The name HwaHae (‘화해’), comes from an abbreviated form of the Korean phrase ‘화장품을 해석하다’ (‘To analyse cosmetics’). Following a boom in the cosmetics industry, CEO Lee Woong and two of his high school friends, developed an app that is designed to provide detailed information on a range of cosmetic products and provides a platform for users to leave reviews on the cosmetic products they have used.

At the heart of everything HwaHae stands for is fairness and credibility. HwaHae doesn’t provide information based on face value or how the cosmetics are marketed, instead, they focus on providing objective information based on what the products are made from.

What service does HwaHae provide?

HwaHae was developed to offer a comprehensive source of information on Korean Beauty products. The app uses information from the Association of Korean Dermatologists (AKD) to categorise beauty products by ingredients and their suitability for different skin types.

HwaHae not only provides information on the entire product, but also specifies ingredients that should be avoided by skin type such as those that might contain allergens or make dryness worse. Alongside this information, HwaHae displays the hazard level for each ingredient, using the standardised system from the EWG (Environmental Working Group, a US non-profit who work to promote consumer choice).

The platform is constantly updated to keep up with the ever-changing market, and this has led to them launching a user review system, a ranking system and more recently, an e-commerce service. Today, users can search on the platform to find cosmetics that are suitable for their skin type and don’t contain any potential irritants, read up on reviews from other customers, and purchase the products directly within the app.

One of the most valuable parts of the service for users is the customer reviews. Today, buying decisions are heavily influenced by reviews that have been left, and so keeping reviews clean and genuine is crucial. HwaHae uses its own algorithms to filter out any reviews that are commercially motivated or otherwise against their terms of service to keep the system transparent and credible.

Why is HwaHae relevant?

Since it found its way into app stores in 2013, HwaHae has gone from strength to strength to become the top beauty app in Korea. It isn’t just consumers that pay attention to the app though, beauty companies themselves do too.

Now that products can be purchased directly within the app, it’s no surprise that companies place a great deal of value on the HwaHae platform. Beauty companies have taken the reviews that have been left on the platform and used this to make better-informed decisions about what their customers actually want and to make changes to their formulas. The benefit of this is that companies will rate better on the platform.

The HwaHae Beauty Awards 2020

Every year HwaHae hosts the HwaHae Beauty Awards to celebrate the most outstanding Korean Beauty products of the year. The awards take place twice a year: in June (see my coverage on the 2020 mid-year awards) and November, and they’re based solely on reviews and ratings left by users of the platform.

For the 2020 edition of the awards, HwaHae analysed 10.2 million reviews left by users from November 2019 to October 31st 2020. Both users and beauty companies place great value on the outcome of the HwaHae Beauty Awards, as they offer an accurate and authentic reflection of the opinions of Korean beauty consumers.

2021 Korean Beauty Trends

After examining the winning products of 2020, HwaHae recognised 4 beauty trends that are expected to shape the Korean Beauty Industry next year.

2020 Hwahae Beauty Awards Trends: Hypoallergenic cosmetics

Hypoallergenic cosmetics

Following the Covid-19 pandemic, the use of face masks became crucial to prevent further spread of the virus. Unfortunately, wearing a face mask on a regular basis can often can cause (or worsen) irritation, acne and sensitivity. HwaHae observed that his phenomenon lead to an increasing demand for soothing, hypoallergenic products used to tackle the effects of prolonged mask-wearing.

2020 Hwahae Beauty Awards Trends: Green Beauty

Green Beauty

The 2020 HwaHae Beauty Awards results show that there has been a continued trend towards natural products that are good for the skin and the environment. Consumers are actively seeking out natural cosmetics that are produced in an eco-friendly way and made from organic and naturally-derived ingredients. Recycled packaging and sustainable manufacturing processes are also top things 2020 beauty lovers look for when choosing products.

2020 Hwahae Beauty Awards Trends: Natural base, bold eyes

Natural base, bold eyes

2020 saw a move towards more simplified make-up routines featuring fewer steps and a more natural look than the year before. Two key products were moisturising lip products to combat dry lips and natural low coverage base make-up to create that natural, dewy glow. On the flipside, for some beauty lovers, it was all about eye make-up this year and making the uncovered parts of your face shine. With lips hidden behind masks, many people sought out statement eye make-up looks. Eye make-up palettes took centre stage for this key trend.

2020 Hwahae Beauty Awards Trends: Gender-Neutral

Gender-Neutral

This year, over 30% of the HwaHae reviews were written by men. Genderless beauty products were also being favourited over formulas specifically aimed at men or women.
