K-Beauty Specific Prompts +
AI Copy Precautions
Ingredient descriptions, texture expressions, comparison copy. Plus how to prevent hallucinations.[1][4]
K-Beauty #1 — Ingredient Description
Ingredient-Based Product Copy
Write as a K-Beauty ingredient expert.
Ingredient: [Niacinamide 10%]
Efficacy: [Officially approved whitening ingredient]
Evidence: [Approved by MFDS, clinical results available]
Rules:
- Do not use vague claims like "good for ~" (regulatory violation risk)
- Only state efficacy for products that passed functional cosmetic review
- Cite sources when referencing clinical results
- No exaggerated terms like "natural" or "additive-free"
Key point: K-Beauty copy must comply with MFDS (Korea FDA) advertising regulations. If AI doesn't know these rules, it will generate non-compliant copy.
K-Beauty #2 — Texture Description
Texture & Feel Description
Describe the texture of the following product.
Product: [Hydrating Serum]
Texture: [Clear gel, lightweight]
Absorption: [Absorbs within 5 seconds, no residue]
Write using expressions common in Korean beauty reviews:
- Use onomatopoeia like "silky", "dewy", "bouncy", "plump"
- Mention seasonal differences (summer: refreshing / winter: moisturizing)
- Provide comparisons ("feels like ~")
4 AI Copy Precautions[4]
1. Hallucination — AI fabricates facts
"Clinical results show 97% improvement" — this could be a fake statistic made up by AI.
Always fact-check all figures, citations, and sources.
2. Regulatory Violation — MFDS & FTC Ad Laws
AI doesn't know Korea's MFDS cosmetic advertising regulations.
It naturally generates violation phrases like "effective for ~", "treatment", "natural".
3. Brand Tone Drift — Inconsistent Voice
The tone changes every time. Include your brand tone guide in the prompt.
Example: "Tone of a late-20s woman recommending to a friend. Minimize jargon."
4. Copyright — Similarity to Existing Copy
AI may pull similar expressions from its training data.
Always run a competitor copy similarity check as a final step.
