Popular Korean skincare product, Ginkgo Natural, is finally available in Malaysia through the local e-mall
In a time where the weather is erratic in Malaysia, Korean-made Ginkgo Natural promises to nourish the skin to keep it feeling fresh and lively. The Ginkgo Natural range is one of many prestigious products, backed up by research and certified patents. This drive for quality is one of the reasons for their establishment in over 20 countries such as China, Japan, USA and now Malaysia.

Ginkgo Natural is the best-selling all-natural range curated under the multi-billion dollar Korean cosmetic giant, Charmzone. This popular skincare brand is now brought to Malaysia’s shore by its sole distributor, CJ IMC - Korea’s leading cosmetic distributor and premium merchandiser.

11street, one of the largest e-malls in Malaysia, is proud to be the first in Southeast Asia to feature exclusively the range of Ginkgo Natural products to cater to the Malaysian market.


“Charmzone is very established in Korea, so it gives us great pleasure to partner 11street to feature our Charmzone’s Gingko Natural range for the very first time in Southeast Asia. Ginkgo Natural is one of the most popular Korean cleansing products that has hit strides in the Korean market through e-commerce. While e-commerce is already at its peak in Korea, Malaysia is still in its growing stage; therefore, it presents us with the perfect opportunity to tap into the Southeast Asian market through 11street to extend our products to lovers of Korean skincare in Malaysia. We believe we can achieve this through 11street, thanks to the enormity of its platform and Malaysians’ admiration towards Korean culture,” said Lee Yong Jin, Managing Director of CJ IMC Southeast Asia.

Vice President of Merchandising for 11street, Bruce Lim said during the media event: “We are motivated by this partnership with Ginkgo Natural to provide high quality, prestigious and affordable beauty products for our consumers. As part of our recently launched ‘Shop The World’ campaign, we aspire to bring in more international products for our Malaysian market. Therefore, by bringing in renowned brands such as Ginkgo Natural, 11street sees an opportunity to build bridges between the brand and our consumers. We believe that Ginkgo Natural is a good fit due to its product efficacies, thanks to its all-natural ingredients. Ginkgo Natural is one brand that packs a silent but robust punch.”

As part of the partnership, 11street will feature Ginkgo Natural’s basic skincare range, which encompasses three steps – cleansing, toning and moisturising. For the first step, Gingko Natural features the Cleansing Tissue for make-up removal, and the Cleansing Foam to clean off residue make-up and is suitable for all skin types. Meanwhile, the Ginkgo Natural Skin Toner helps tighten pores and balances skin pH after cleansing, to prepare it for the third step – moisturising. Ginkgo Natural suggests the use of its Essence to lock in moisture and promote skin repair, before applying the Emulsion in the day, or the Cream at night. The former leaves a light and lingering feeling on the skin, while brightening it up at the same time. The latter supplies skin with more moisture, yet making it feel light and fresh.


Using state-of-the-art technology, Ginkgo Natural effectively nourishes the skin, leaving skin soft and dust-free. Ginkgo Natural harnesses the anti-oxidative power of ginkgo leaves to nourish and protect skin against everyday stress and damaging environmental elements. The ECOCERT-certified Ginkgo Natural range is made up of 95% natural ingredients, and contains zero mineral oil components.

Agnes Lim, Malaysian actress and model who was present at the partnership announcement shared: “The products from Ginkgo Natural leave a fresh feeling on my face upon application. It certainly is a welcomed feeling, given the unpredictable weather conditions in Malaysia. The best surprise came in the form of the cleansing tissue, which is also Gingko Natural’s most sought-after product. It is ultra-soft, so it feels good on the skin and completely and effectively removes make-up. It is perfect for someone like me, who is always on-the-go.”


The full range of Ginkgo Natural products available exclusively on 11street
11street introduces special promotions for Ginkgo Natural products under 11street’s ‘Shop The World’ campaign, which runs from 1 March to 3 April 2017 with up to 65% discounts on Ginkgo Natural products and free shipping to West Malaysia.

During the promotion period, these products will range from RM7 to RM119.97 with an additional exclusive 15% discount coupon available for download on the Ginkgo Natural promotion page on 11street.
