Sourcing Lab: Best K-pop inspired brands developed in Korea

K-Pop, or Korean Pop, is a popular genre of music that was born in the 1990s and has been
trending worldwide over the last few years. The success of the South-Korean music-industry
opened the doors to investments in other areas, such as skin care. K-Pop artists tend to have
perfect almost glass skin, following specific routines with the products of their favorite
brands developed in South Korea. Let’s dive into the best k-pop inspired brands.


It comes as no surprise that the K-Skincare market is projected to be worth $13.9 billion by
2027, because it has been pretty effective on those who try it. With sensitive-skin approved,
