Have you ever wondered why the world has put K-beauty on a pedestal? It's because these products have innovative formulas with ingredients that would both, ick you out and intrigue you at the same time. Here’s the thing though, cult-favourite K-beauty brands like Innisfree, Laniege, and Beauty of Joseon are so much more than the one or two products they are known for. And today, we are exploring some of the lesser-known products from these brands that work just as well as their hero products. These definitely deserve a spot in your daily (or weekly) routine.

We've all relied the sunscreen stick by Thank You Farmer to get us through the summer season.

Sure, Mugwort sounds like something slimy from the Harry Potter universe. At first glance, it might not even seem like something you want slather all over your face.

Additionally, this cream is also infused with glycerin and panthenol for some hydration and extra oomph.
