Over the last decade, we witnessed K-beauty emerging in the global beauty scene, and it completely changed the game for skincare. As Korean skincare is mostly based on organic, all-natural, and at times luxurious ingredients, its effectiveness is like no other—resulting in the infamous dewy, glassy skin. It left skincare enthusiasts around the world wanting more.

In 2017, former concert pianist Angela Jia Kim founded Savor Beauty, a skincare brand inspired by Korean beauty rituals based in New York City. Angela, also named as the “unexpected beauty virtuoso,” started it all in her humble kitchen. When she experienced an unpleasant skin reaction to a natural lotion, she knew she had to take matters into her own hands.

Years later, Savor Beauty has become a household name for beauty insiders and skincare aficionados in and out of New York City. With their two spa locations in the Upper West Side and West Village and an online store—with orders packed in sustainable packaging, mind you—getting your skin cared for has never been easier.

Tell us a bit about your brand!

Savor Beauty is where Korean skincare rituals meet modern wellness. Founded by former concert pianist and author Angela Jia Kim, our brand was born from the belief that self-care is something to cherish and enjoy everyday.

Each product is made in small batches by women in New York, using non-toxic, natural ingredients to help you glow from the inside out. Our products are also used in our NYC facials, with locations on the Upper West Side and West Village. We’re passionate about creating intentional beauty rituals that inspire women to slow down, savor life, and radiate confidence.

Tell us about your packaging, how you’re using it, and the importance of it for your brand.

Our packaging is an extension of our philosophy: beauty that nourishes both you and the planet. We use recyclable glass jars and eco-conscious materials that feel luxurious in your hands but tread lightly on the earth.
