Botanical extraction notes ·
Discover how our formulators refine ancient Asian botanical techniques through modern dermatological science to preserve every drop’s potency and purity.
Every Sukina Apothecary formulation begins long before the lab. It starts in the fields—where herbs cultivated for generations are harvested at their peak, each leaf and root holding centuries of wisdom. From there, modern extraction techniques refine that knowledge into measurable results.
Our process honors both worlds: the patient rituals of traditional Asian medicine and the precision of modern dermatological science. By controlling temperature, pH, and solvent ratios, we retain each plant’s natural potency while removing compounds that can irritate sensitive skin. The result is a balance of power and gentleness—active concentrations that deliver visible anti-aging benefits without compromise.
Behind these formulations is a deep commitment to research. Our founder spent years studying pharmacognosy and dermatology literature, consulting with skin experts and herbal practitioners across Asia to understand which botanical molecules truly influence collagen renewal, barrier repair, and cellular longevity.
Each Sukina product is a distillation of that journey: ancient medicinal insight, modern scientific validation, and an unwavering belief that nature—when understood with precision—can be the most advanced form of skincare.
From Our Founder
“I was fascinated by how the same plants used in traditional tonics could also support skin renewal. After reading hundreds of research papers and speaking with dermatologists across Taipei, Seoul, and Tokyo, it became clear—the wisdom was always there. We simply needed to translate it into modern skincare language.”
— Founder, Sukina Apothecary
