PhilosophySingle-ingredient essences. Each product features one hero extract at maximum concentration, with a minimal supporting cast of ingredients.Liah Yoo's "press reset" philosophy: strip skincare back to what the barrier actually needs.

Mixsoon

Mixsoon represents the 'less is more' philosophy taken to its logical extreme. Their Bean Essence and Galactomyces Essence are exactly what they claim: one ingredient, minimal fillers. This radical simplicity makes them excellent for sensitive skin and for people who want to know exactly what's working (or not). The downside is that single-ingredient products can only do so much.

Pros

✓ Radical ingredient transparency
✓ Minimal formulations reduce irritation risk
✓ Easy to identify what works for your skin
✓ Good value for the quality

Cons

✗ Single-ingredient approach limits efficacy
✗ Very young brand — limited track record
✗ Product range is small
✗ Not exciting if you want multi-benefit products

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.
