Korean Vegan Beauty

Q: What is Korean Vegan Beauty?

Korean Vegan Beauty is so much more than cruelty-free vegan skincare and vegan haircare made in Korea — it’s a deeply personal brand created by Joanne Molinaro (a.k.a., The Korean Vegan) to honor her Korean heritage while staying true to her vegan values.After struggling to find a K-beauty brand that was both cruelty-free and aligned with a vegan lifestyle, Joanne decided to create her own. But it isn’t any ordinary K-beauty brand. Korean Vegan Beauty blends advanced Korean skincare science, generations of herbal wisdom, and a belief that healthy skin is the foundation of true beauty—all while being vegan and cruelty-free.Developed and manufactured in Korea by Korean R&D teams who thoughtfully combine plant-based innovation with time-honored traditions, each formula is gentle yet effective, designed to support long-term skin health — not to mask flaws, but to nourish and protect your skin in a way that aligns with both heritage and ethics.

Bakuchiol Vegan Collagen Cream

After one washing with this shampoo, I noticed my hair felt smoother. I have slightly textured hair, some shampoos really bring that out. This one really smoothed my hair out. The fragrance is pleasant and mild as well.

I purchased the bundle and have been using both products for about a week now. The face cream is amazing. This shampoo is equally divine. It has a light fresh scent that isn't overpowering, which I appreciate. A little dollop lathers well and leaves my hair clean and shiny. I'm so impressed by both products that I just purchased more bundles as Christmas gifts for the women in my family. Thank you!

I've been using this wonderful face cream for a week now. I put it on before bed after washing my face and by the morning, my skin feels so soft and smooth. I really like that it's light, not greasy, doesn't have a chemical scent, and you don't need to slather it on your face. As a lifelong tomboy, I've never really had a beauty regimen but this is a revelation! Love, love, love!

Bakuchiol Vegan Collagen Cream

I’ve never written a review for a skincare product. This is mostly because I’ve never loved anything I’ve used. But — let me tell you— this cream is absolutely perfect! It doesn’t leave my skin feeling glossy or sticky, it’s incredibly light and yet does an amazing job at keeping my face moisturized all day. My absolute favorite skincare every night is to wash my face with Glow Recipe Avocado Ceramide, apply Glow Recipe Gentle BlackBerry Retinol Night Serum for sensitive skin, and top with Korean Vegan Bakuchiol Vegan Collagen Cream—— it’s seriously the perfect blend for me!

I have been using this day and evening for about five days. Thus far, I have noticed a difference in the texture of my skin. It absorbs into my skin well and leaves it feeling smooth and dewy, and my fine lines less noticeable.

I hope she comes out with a serum and eye cream as well!

For reference, I am 62 years old.

Bakuchiol Vegan Collagen Cream

The one time that I've used it so far, my hair felt so soft and nourished. I love that there's no need for a separate product to condition my hair!! This totally suits my simple and no nonsense approach to most things.

This cream is incredibly good. In the last 7-10 days that I've been using it, it has visibly improved my skin.

OMG I love this shampoo. It smells so good. I have NEVER not used conditioner, but with this shampoo, you don't neeD it. My hair is thinning and every time I would wash my hair it would leave what looked like a small rodent in the drain trap. Today is the second time I've used it and had hardly any hair loss. I'm hoping this is a good sign. Great products. I'm glad I found you. You need to make a body lotion now!!

I am literally blown away. My face feels amazing and so soft. I've only been using it for about a week, but I can definitely tell the difference in how my skin feels. You need to make body lotion now. Judging from the face cream I bet it would be awesome.

Vegan Collagen Smoothing Shampoo

A wonderful face cream, an absolute joy to use. The texture is light yet occlusive, and makes my sensitive skin very happy. I am always nervous to try a new cream as my skin isn’t always happy with every product, but this one is a keeper. I’m very happy with this - An instant favorite.
