With a Mother’s Heart, Cosmam Inc. is honored to publish the following newsletter for our valued global consumers. ◎ Clean Recipes for Healthy Skin! ◎ "Clean" cannot simply be defined as being pure, natural, or free from impurities. Nor does it refer exclusively to products made only from organic plant-based ingredients. Although the term generally implies ingredients derived from plants, minerals, or a combination of natural substances rather than synthetic compounds, this is not always the case. More importantly, clean beauty emphasizes where specific ingredients come from, how they are processed, and whether they have been sourced ethically and fairly. It is much like the way we carefully examine fruits and vegetables at the grocery store, checking their origin and inspecting them one by one for any imperfections. Therefore, when choosing cosmetics, consumers should no longer rely solely on ratings assigned by particular organizations or beauty applications. Instead, they should carefully examine the ingredients used in the products, as well as the entire production process—from the place of origin to the methods of processing. Just as fresh ingredients provide exceptional flavor and nutritional value even when consumed in their natural state, cosmetics made from high-quality ingredients can also deliver outstanding benefits on their own. This is an important principle to remember (Hyangjang, p. 620). 
◎ Summer Beauty Keywords ◎ Healthy, glowing skin with a smooth texture, combined with a clear and elegant blush that looks as if watercolor has been gently brushed onto the cheeks, has emerged as one of this summer's biggest beauty trends. Start by creating a radiant base with a moisturizing primer or a makeup base that brightens the complexion as though illuminated by soft lighting. Then, apply foundation as thinly as possible. Finish the base by lightly dabbing a finely textured cream highlighter or a color-base product onto prominent areas of the face, such as the cheekbones and brow bones.
Once the dewy base makeup is complete, the key is to apply blush generously across the cheekbones, under the eyes, and over the cheeks using shades that enhance a healthy complexion, such as coral pink or soft red. For a more harmonious makeup look, you can use the same lipstick or lip tint applied to your lips as a cream blush by blending a small amount with your fingertips. If you prefer a sun-kissed appearance, extend the blush beyond the cheekbones and sweep it lightly across the bridge of the nose. Complete your attractive summer makeup with a radiant blush look that appears effortless yet sophisticated (Hyangjang, No. 620). 
◎ Phytochemical Health Juice Recipes ◎ Phytochemicals have recently emerged as one of the key ingredients in the latest juice trends. The term combines the Greek word "phyto," meaning plant, and "chemical," referring to the natural compounds that plants produce to protect themselves from pathogens, pests, and fungi. Among the phytochemicals currently attracting attention are sulforaphane, which is abundant in cabbage, kale, and broccoli; quercetin, found in kiwifruit; apigenin, contained in celery; anthocyanins, which are rich in dark purple fruits and vegetables; and beta-carotene, present in yellow and orange fruits and vegetables.
Once absorbed into the human body, these powerful protective compounds provide anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and detoxifying effects. They can help repair mutated cells and damaged DNA caused by cancer cells, as well as strengthen the immune system by eliminating viruses and bacteria. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends a daily intake of at least 400 grams of fruits and vegetables. The Korean Nutrition Society recommends consuming 490 grams of vegetables and 200–300 grams of fruit each day. There is no need to force yourself to eat several plates of fruits and vegetables every day. Instead, blend and juice them. Although phytochemical juice is not a cure-all, it can certainly help cleanse the body, promote overall health, and strengthen the immune system. Drink freely and stay healthy (Hyangjang, No. 620). 
◎ Living an Environmentally Conscious Life ◎ When people think of an environmentally conscious lifestyle, many regard it as something inconvenient and difficult to practice—an ideal embraced only by a small number of people with progressive values and far removed from their own lives. Indeed, some actions, such as producing absolutely no waste, purchasing only fair-trade products, or adopting a vegetarian diet, can be difficult to apply immediately in everyday life.
However, there are countless small ways to participate, such as carrying a reusable tumbler, avoiding plastic straws, and keeping a handkerchief on hand. Women who value the coexistence of nature and humanity and actively work to create a healthier society based on this principle unanimously believe that the environment can become much healthier if each individual makes even small changes to their lifestyle (Hyangjang, No. 620).
