Vegan herbal skincare

ESSENHERB (에센허브) is a Korean skincare brand made by Ami Cosmetic, a company based in Gangnam, Seoul. The brand describes itself as a plant-based vegan skincare brand that focuses on the essence of the skin.

The name joins two words: Essence, for products that give skin what it really needs, and Herb, for the clean, strong power of nature. According to the brand, its ingredients range from tea tree from Australia and jojoba from Israel to Korean wild soybean and Korean yam.

ESSENHERB uses Korean wild herbs, which it calls K-Wild Herbs, as key ingredients. According to the brand, these plants grow through Korea’s four distinct seasons, between hot summers and harsh winters, with temperature swings of about 50°C, and develop a strong resilience along the way.

The brand says it puts this energy of nature into skincare that protects sensitive skin and keeps it firm, with carefully extracted plant ingredients, transparent standards and global vegan certifications.

Tea tree is the brand’s signature. The Tea Tree 90 Calming Toner and the Tea Tree Deep Clean Scalp Shampoo are listed among the best sellers on the brand’s official Korean store. At Kool Seoul, the line also includes the Balancing In Calming Toner, the Mild Clear Pad, the Soothing In Calming Cream, the Repair Solution Cream, the Moisture Sun Milk SPF50+, a cotton mask, and body care: the Body Cream Mist and the Acne Daily Wash.

Lemon Dill is the glow line: Glazed Gel Cleanser, Milk Ampoule, Melting Buttercream and Radiant Glow Cotton Mask.

Deep Core Hydra is the hydration duo: an ampoule and a cream.

Jojoba brings the Vegan Jojoba 100% Oil (unrefined, cold-pressed), the Cream To Toner, the Double Essence Mist and the Essential Lip Balm. The brand’s Jojoba 100 Oil is also listed among the best sellers on its official store.
