PhilosophyMinimalist skincare with transparent ingredient lists and plant-based hero actives, engineered for sensitive and combination skin.Liah Yoo's "press reset" philosophy: strip skincare back to what the barrier actually needs.

iUNIK

iUNIK is the quiet cult brand that keeps winning over sensitive-skin users. Short ingredient lists, fragrance-free formulations, and hero actives like beta-glucan and centella. The Beta Glucan Power Moisture Serum is the hidden gem that should be on more people radars.

Pros

✓ Short, transparent ingredient lists
✓ Fragrance-free formulations
✓ Cult-favorite beta-glucan serum
✓ Excellent for sensitive skin

Cons

✗ Limited brand recognition outside K-beauty circles
✗ Simple packaging
✗ Smaller catalog

Krave Beauty

Liah Yoo built Krave Beauty the way you wish more brands would — with a skincare-fatigued YouTube audience in mind, a commitment to stripping back rather than piling on, and one genuine cult hit in Great Barrier Relief. Small catalog, specific mission, loyal fans. Not for people who want a 10-step system. Very much for people whose skin has been yelled at for too long.
