At the heart of K-Beauty is the belief that healthy skin is the foundation of beauty. In South Korea, skincare is a daily ritual, which has led to unparalleled innovation. K-Beauty brands use natural ingredients such as green tea and volcanic clay, supported by a government that bolsters the industry with subsidies and export benefits. As a result, despite limited natural resources, South Korea has built a cosmetics empire that surpasses even France.
