How it works
Beeswax leads the ingredient panel on this serum. Beeswax is the wax bees build comb from. In a formula it thickens the oil phase and forms a breathable, water-resisting film, which is what makes a balm hold its shape. On this panel it sits alongside Microcrystalline Wax, Ceramide NP and Propolis Extract. Microcrystalline Wax is a fine-crystalled petroleum wax. It gives balms and sticks body and flexibility and holds oil from separating out.

Key actives
Beeswax
Beeswax is the wax bees build comb from. In a formula it thickens the oil phase and forms a breathable, water-resisting film, which is what makes a balm hold its shape.
Microcrystalline Wax
Microcrystalline Wax is a fine-crystalled petroleum wax. It gives balms and sticks body and flexibility and holds oil from separating out.
Ceramide NP
Ceramide NP is the most used cosmetic ceramide, the same class of lipid that makes up roughly half the mortar between cells in the outer layer of skin. Added to a cream it slots into that structure, which is why ceramide formulas feel less leaky rather than merely greasy.
Propolis Extract
Propolis is the resin bees collect from tree buds and use to seal the hive. It is rich in flavonoids, carries a warm amber colour and scent, and is used for the look of dull, stressed skin. It is a bee product, so it is worth knowing about if you react to those.
Can I use this alongside other actives in my routine?
Yes. Panthenol is the lead active here, and it is formulated to sit alongside the rest of a routine rather than replace it. Introduce any new step on its own for the first week or two before adding it next to another strong active, so it is easy to tell which product is responsible for any change. Once it is settled into the routine, it layers the way any other serum in a Korean routine does.
How do I know this is authentic and not a US-reformulated version?
Check the box against the listing: an authentic Korean-market SKU carries Korean-primary packaging and an intact Korean-market batch code, not a US-only relabel. Manyo Factory's Korean-market formulas are sourced specifically to preserve that, rather than substituted for the US-shelf version some retailers carry under the same name.
When in a routine should I use this serum?
Use it as the serum step, AM and PM, after toner and before moisturizer. Placing a serum out of order is the most common reason a Korean routine feels like it is not working, so keep this one at its own step rather than doubling it up with a product built for a different stage. Give it a few weeks at that placement before judging the result.
What does Panthenol do in this formula?
Panthenol is pro-vitamin B5, a conditioning agent Korean formulas lean on to keep the surface feeling soft rather than tight. It has a long track record in Korean skincare as a mild, everyday conditioning agent that layers cleanly under the rest of a routine. It sits at its own position on this product's own ingredient list rather than being assumed from the product name.
What does Ceramide NP do in this formula?
Ceramide NP is one of the lipids naturally found in the skin's own barrier, included here to round out the formula's structure. Ceramide-carrying formulas are a Korean skincare staple for skin that runs dry or reactive, since they mirror the skin's own lipid makeup. It sits at its own position on this product's own ingredient list rather than being assumed from the product name.

Ceramides are part fatty acid and part amino acid and are able to be the grout that keeps the building blocks of the skin together and functioning as a barrier between the inside and outside world.
Amy Kassouf, MDDermatologist, Cleveland Clinic Pretty much every step of a Korean skin care routine is going to have some component of hydration.
