INMI SeoulFounded by Andrew Kim at the intersection of Seoul and the West, INMI Seoul makes Korean skincare that turns rice heritage into a modern daily ritual. Its formulas use rice sourced entirely from Icheon, Korea, including the Rice PDRN Serum and a distinctive membrane-free agar cream whose visible capsules melt like cooked rice. The brand pairs plant-based biotechnology with a slower, ritual-led approach to self-care.
BYROEFounded by Amy, BYROE makes clean Korean skincare formulas from upcycled superfoods, turning ingredients such as imperfect tomatoes, rice, and avocado into modern skin treatments. The brand draws on Korean family traditions of finding healing value in what others discard, then pairs that heritage with proprietary extraction methods and clinically tested formulas. Its range includes facial care and lip treatments, including the bestselling Avocado Renewal 2-in-1 Cleanser & Exfoliator.
