The Korean skin care brand RIMAN has secured a 20-year Plant Variety Protection (PVP) by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) for its proprietary Centella asiatica variety, Giant BYoungPool.
RIMAN developed the advanced Centella cultivar through years of research, designing larger leaves and higher concentrations of active compounds than the conventional Centella asiatica. This new variety is expected to provide enhanced efficacy for skincare applications and was cultivated at RIMAN’s Smart Farm in Jeju Island, South Korea. There, plants are grown under “precision-controlled conditions to ensure consistent potency, premium quality and sustainability.”
“Beyond scientific validation, this recognition by the USDA affirms RIMAN’s commitment to bringing trusted heritage ingredients to the global beauty industry,” said Youngsu Hwang, RIMAN Chief Sales Officer. “This accomplishment strengthens our path to global expansion while staying true to our philosophy of innovation grounded in authenticity.”
This Giant BYoungPool is the key ingredient for the company’s flagship skincare brand ICD, formally Incellderm, and delivers clinically validated skincare solutions.
The company has also secured ISO compliance and Halal certification for its Lava BYoungPool Water, demonstrating commitment to global consumer needs.
