About NURINOTES
What this is
NURINOTES is an ingredient database for Korean skincare. Each product page reads the full ingredient list the way a pharmacist would. Each ingredient page says what published research reports, at what concentration, and links the source.
It is reference information for reading a label. It is not a treatment guide.
Who I am
I am a licensed pharmacist in Korea. On this site I go by Pharmacist Choi. I use that name instead of my own, and I do not publish my license number.
Pharmacists in Korea spend a lot of time answering one question at the counter: "Is this safe with my other products or medicines?" These pages try to answer the same question in writing.
How a page gets published
First drafts are produced with an AI model from sources I supply. Automated checks then look for banned claims, missing sources, and wording that reads like advertising. I read every page myself and change or delete anything the source does not support. Nothing goes live before that step, and the review date is shown on each page. The full method is here.
What this site does not do
- It does not review, rank, or score products.
- It does not tell you what to buy or skip.
- It does not claim that a product treats a skin condition.
- It does not accept payment to change what a page says.
