Our Pick
Krave Beauty
Higher editor rating (8.7 vs 8.3)
Lola Cosmetics
Lola Cosmetics started as a Brazilian vegan haircare brand and has expanded into face and body skincare with the same punk-pink branding and millennial-pink color palette. The skincare extensions — cleansers, moisturizers, body lotions — lean clean-formulation and affordable. Beloved by younger Brazilian consumers who want vegan beauty without prestige pricing.
Pros
- ✓ Vegan + cruelty-free across line
- ✓ Distinctive pink branding
- ✓ Affordable
- ✓ Strong following with younger consumers
Cons
- ✗ Skincare range is smaller than haircare
- ✗ Heavy fragrance in some products
- ✗ Distribution outside Brazil is patchy
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.
Pros
- ✓ barrier-first philosophy
- ✓ cult hero in Great Barrier Relief
- ✓ transparent founder storytelling
- ✓ no fragrance / no essential oils
Cons
- ✗ very small catalog
- ✗ ships mostly US/intl, harder to find in Asia
