About KIN Aesthetics | Professional Korean Skincare Backed by Community

We specialize in professional Korean skincare—formulations built on decades of innovation, respect for the skin barrier, and a deep belief in long-term skin health. But this is more than skincare.

We’re here to support estheticians in building businesses that are as intentional as the products they use. That means education, protocols, resources, and a community that understands the journey—because we’re on it too. We believe in quality over quantity. Curated over crowded. Relationships over transactions.

If you’re an esthetician who cares deeply about results, integrity, and creating meaningful experiences for your clients—you’re in the right place.

We're a community built for estheticians, by estheticians.

Founder

SARAH

Sarah is a solo esthetician, K-beauty enthusiast, and founder of Kin Aesthetics.

During her university days, living in South Korea, she became very interested in the intentionality and innovation which surrounds Korean skincare. 

A decade later she opened her own skincare studio which was founded on Korean rituals + skincare philosophies, and as an extension, began sharing her passion with other estheticians through distribution and education. 

Favorite thing about working at KIN: Helping our community build thriving + meaningful businesses. Sharing my love of K-beauty.

ANDREW

Known for his sharp attention to detail and impressive number skills, Andrew is in charge of ordering, receiving + making sure the back of the warehouse runs smoothly.
