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.
