The Best Cruelty Free Korean Skincare Brands For 2021

The Best Cruelty Free Korean Skincare Brands For 2021

Korean skincare has been all the rage these past few years. In fact, the Korean beauty market is among the top 10 around the world. With the rising surge of Kdrama and Kpop, many people have started to notice the porcelain-like glass skin of Korean actors and singers. While it may have a lot to do with professional makeup artists and lightning, skincare also plays a major role. As a result, the demand for Korean skincare products has skyrocketed.

If you’re looking for a Korean skincare brand that is effective as well as cruelty free, there are so many good options out there in the market that can help you achieve smooth and glowing skin. We contacted each brand and asked our standard cruelty free questions (you can see more here). Here are my faves!
