Our story

We believe in the power of Korean skincare traditions – that's why we, Sander and Veronika, founded Yepoda. The worldwide hype around K-Beauty as the skincare trend of the moment shows that more and more people discover the benefits of this specific way of skincare. Being Half-Korean, especially Sander was asked many times to bring back K-Beauty products from his travels to South Korea for his friends in Europe.

For us, it was clear that K-Beauty was becoming more and more popular here! But the products were difficult to get and in comparison to the usual European skincare products, more difficult to understand. Yepoda is our approach to make K-Beauty more accessible for you. We are convinced, that Korean Skincare products have a lot of amazing benefits to them that make them superior to European skincare products.

Together with an amazing small team in Berlin and Korea, we have worked for more than a year on developing our products. This was challenging, especially because we were not willing to compromise on our values or the quality of our products. That's why we are now extremely proud of the final results and super excited if you love our products as much as we do!

Did you know "Yepoda" (예쁘다) means "pretty" in Korean? 🥰

Being good to your skin is our #1 goal – so we decided to produce skincare with the best natural and active ingredients and free of all the nasties that are still often used in traditional cosmetics although they can actually harm your skin. All of our products are 100% clean which means they don't contain any silicones, parabens, formaldehyde, artificial colorants, PEGs, mineral oils, micro plastic or sulfates.

While we put being good to your skin first, we wanted to take it one step further and be good to the world as well. We've committed ourselves to produce all of our products as mindfully as possible: Our cosmetics are completely vegan, free of animal-testing and packed in sustainable glass jars. Additionally, we've decided to give back to the earth and to donate 1% of our revenues towards carefully chosen environmental projects. You can find out more about it here.

We strive to learn and to get a bit better every day – so if you have any ideas how we can improve, please let us know.
