Less makeup, more skincare

Our Founder's Story

I am obsessed with Skincare. How did I get here? When I first discovered Korean Beauty (shortly after discovering Korean Dramas and KPOP in general) it was love at first sight. At the time I was battling dry, super sensitive skin, melasma (the demon step child of hyper pigmentation) and intermittent breakouts. I drove myself crazy obsessing over it and began researching the root causes of skin conditions, which led me down the rabbit hole of esthetics, biochemistry and cosmetic science. In my research, deep in the credits of cosmetic science medical journals, I kept coming across the innovations in Korean Skincare. Combined with exposure to the Korean skincare routines of the Korean pop idols I was watching  definitely gave me an aha moment. Thus I decided to give Korean Skincare products a try.

Prior to this, I'd tried countless products, from all over the globe, many of which caused more harm than help due to harsh ingredients and formulas. Today, I can 100% say that Korean skincare absolutely saved my skin. The results spoke for themselves. My melasma (hyper hyper really hyper pigmentation)  was reduced by 80%, breakouts became a once a month hormonal thing I could live with, and my skin was more hydrated than it had been in years. Most of all, the ritual of really caring for my skin gave me an immense sense of peace. Knowing I was nourishing my skin and seeing the rewards of what using clean, quality products and loving your skin can do, has had a huge impact on my life. 

Although I still have melasma (it's incurable and still have to wear makeup to cover the last of it if I so choose), after becoming educated on skincare, I was better equipped to manage the worst of its symptoms and became less reliant on the more damaging products available for this condition.

I was already a fan of beauty boxes because of my love for giving gifts and the element of surprise, thus my new found obsessions with Korean products naturally led me to a hunt for a Korean Beauty Box.  I needed a Korean beauty box that would include full sized tried and tested products that were suitable for all skin types, as well as deluxe samples that would  allow me the freedom to discover new products in smaller doses just in case it didn't agree with my skin. The box also had to give me that squee moment when I got it, something with a balance of products between functional and pure skintertainment.  It also had to be a cohesive box with products that complemented each other from month to month and replenished my stash in time when I was running out of a particular product. Mostly, it had to have products that worked, and was suitable for all skin types and tones. Then there was my skin sensitivity. If skin had feelings, then mine cried just looking at alcohol. I needed products that worked for all skin types period.

On top of this already non-exhaustive list,  I needed a Korean beauty box that was value for money, economical, with free shipping. My requirements turned out to be a very tall order.

It was then that I decided to create a new Korean beauty box subscription, one I'd be thrilled to receive myself. So after a long talk with my loving partner, we collaborated and BomiBox was born.
