Dr. Jart+ (read simply as Doctor Jart) is a South Korean skin care brand. It was founded in 2004 by Lee Jin-Wook, with consultation from dermatologist Jung Sung-jae.[1]
History
In 2003, Lee Jin-Wook began research on BB cream.[2] To further develop his product, he reached out to Dr. Jung Sung-jae, who was testing new treatments for patients with severe skin issues.[3] Lee asked Jung to invest in his product to bring Jung's formulations to a wider audience.[3] The name "Jart" was initially coined as a portmanteau of "Jung" and "art".[2]
