Our Pick
Beauty of Joseon
Higher editor rating (9 vs 8.3)
Vegreen
Vegreen is part of the broader 2026 vegan K-beauty wave — but they've actually delivered the goods. Their Vegan Nature Mucin Essence Toner won Hwahae 2025 (#2 in toners) by replicating the slip and bounce of snail mucin using plant-derived polysaccharides. A genuine option for vegan and animal-friendly skincare buyers.
Pros
- ✓ Vegan snail-mucin alternative
- ✓ Hwahae 2025 award winner
- ✓ Alcohol-free across line
Cons
- ✗ Newer brand globally
- ✗ Limited variety
Beauty of Joseon
Beauty of Joseon has quietly become one of the most impressive value propositions in K-beauty. Their Relief Sun is arguably the best budget sunscreen globally, and the Glow Serum delivers genuine results at a price that undercuts competitors by half. The hanbang angle could be gimmicky, but they back it with solid formulation science.
Pros
- ✓ Exceptional price-to-performance ratio
- ✓ Relief Sun SPF 50+ is a standout product
- ✓ Hanbang ingredients backed by real formulation
- ✓ Elegant textures despite budget pricing
Cons
- ✗ Limited product range compared to larger brands
- ✗ Hanbang marketing can feel vague
- ✗ Some products sell out frequently
