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.

Traditional collagen is derived from animal sources, like fish or bovine tissue, and therefore is not vegan. However, at Korean Vegan Beauty, we use vegan collagen, developed in Korea using Pichia pastoris recombinant technology — a cutting-edge, plant-based process that creates collagen that closely mimics human collagen, without using any animal ingredients. This is one of the keys to cruelty-free Korean skincare.

Our vegan collagen is 100% plant-based, halal-certified, odor-free (unlike animal collagen), and designed to deliver the same anti-aging, firming, and hydrating benefits as traditional collagen — while aligning with vegan and cruelty-free values.

Yes! All of our Korean Vegan Beauty products are 100% vegan and cruelty-free. This means they contain no animal-derived ingredients and are never tested on animals. We are committed to ethical beauty and use only plant-based and lab-developed alternatives like vegan collagen and bakuchiol in our formulas.

All Korean Vegan Beauty products are proudly formulated and made in Korea. We blend time-honored Korean skincare wisdom with cutting-edge vegan science to create clean beauty products you can trust.

Yes! Our Korean Vegan Beauty products are designed to deliver visible results for anti-aging. Ingredients like vegan collagen help reduce fine lines and improve skin elasticity, while bakuchiol boosts cell turnover and smooths skin texture — offering results similar to retinol without the irritation.

What makes Korean Vegan Beauty truly special is that it’s more than just K-beauty skincare and haircare — it’s a vision of what K-beauty should be: sustainable beauty rooted in ritual, one that is designed not to mask your flaws, but to protect your skin and hair in a way that is aligned with compassion. Every product is thoughtfully created to reflect Joanne Molinaro’s vegan values and her love for her Korean heritage. Korean Vegan Beauty is true vegan skincare and haircare, developed not only for herself, but for friends, family, and anyone who shares the same commitment to ethical, sustainable, plant-based beauty.

Korean Vegan Beauty gives you all the skin benefits you love about K-beauty — hydration, glow, and anti-aging — without any animal ingredients or animal testing. It’s a kinder, cleaner choice for your body and the planet.

Yes! Our Vegan Collagen Shampoo is color-safe. It’s formulated without harsh sulfates and uses gentle cleansing agents that cleanse effectively without stripping your hair’s color. It also contains moisturizing and conditioning ingredients like collagen extract, olive oil esters, and plant-based nutrients to help maintain vibrancy and protect color-treated hair with every wash.

Our Korean Vegan Beauty line features powerful vegan ingredients rooted in Korean tradition and science. Hero ingredients include:

• Vegan collagen (lab-developed using Korean recombinant technology for superior skin compatibility)
• Bakuchiol (a natural alternative to retinol from Psoralea corylifolia seeds)
• Rice ferment filtrate (used in Korean beauty rituals for centuries to brighten and even skin tone)
• Polyglutamic acid (for deep hydration, derived from natto beans)
• Caffeine & Asian medicinal herb complex (for scalp care and healthy hair growth)

At the moment, we do not offer fragrance-free versions. However, we are continuously exploring ways to expand our offerings to accommodate sensitive skin types and preferences.

No, we do not use lavender extract or lavender oil in our products. However, some fragrance components, such as linalool, limonene, and citronellol, may be included in the fragrance blend. These compounds are naturally found in many essential oils, including lavender oil, and are commonly used in cosmetic fragrances. If you have a known sensitivity, we recommend reviewing the full ingredient list or consulting with your healthcare provider before use.

Absolutely. Our vegan skincare products are formulated to be gentle, yet effective. We avoid common irritants and use ingredients that are known to be kind to sensitive skin, such as vegan collagen (which mimics human protein structure) and bakuchiol (a plant-based retinol alternative that is less likely to cause irritation).

While our Korean Vegan Collagen Shampoo isn’t a color-changing product, it’s packed with ingredients that support overall scalp health and hair vitality — which is especially important for grey hair.

The caffeine, vegan collagen, and traditional Korean herbs like ginseng and mulberry bark work together to nourish your scalp, energize your roots, and strengthen your strands. You’ll feel your hair becoming softer, stronger, and more vibrant with continued use.

So while it won’t reverse grey, it’s absolutely made to help your hair look and feel its healthiest at any stage.
