Highly Raved K-Indie Beauty Brands that You Wished You Had Known

Let’s face it, Korea IS the ultimate place to go for all beauty junkies, from roadshop brands like Innisfree and Etude House to expensive luxury brands like Sulwhasoo and The History of Whoo, Korea is really the paradise to pamper all your skin needs.

However, besides these well known brands that have received worldwide recognition, there are also tons of independant beauty brands in Korea that share their own fanbase. We list out 5 brands that range from clinical to green and cruelty-free. Each of these individual brands have their own specialty and ideals, they are all super amazing but some are really difficult to get in Singapore! ㅠ.ㅠ

Saturday Skin

Don’t let the pretty packaging fool you with Saturday Skin, not only do they look beautiful, they will make YOU look beautiful as well.
