So, you read about their sheet masks and why Taiwan is becoming the hottest beauty destination. But this week we're going a little more in-depth about it. Read on to find our favorite brands from one of the skincare capitals.
O'Right
If there's any brand that deserves special mention, it would have to be this one. For one, their design team deserves a pat on the back. Did you ever think a tree could grow out of a shampoo bottle? Their 100% biodegradable bottles have coffee seeds embedded in the bottom, so you can plant the bottle and wait for a coffee tree to grow in its place! This product at the bottom, though, is their crème de la crème. Made for pumping the scalp with nutrients, it helps balance oil, relieve itching, and even stimulate new hair growth.
Caffeine Hair Tonic
Yuan
Yuan believes in the healing power of the earth, and because of this all their products are taken in their most natural form. There are no machines involved in production, everything is a labor of love, from planting the herbs to pouring them into soap molds. Their natural shampoo and conditioner is especially good. Sure, it doesn't suds up as much as the chemical-laden formulas we're used to, but it gets the job done. Plus, once you use anything from their line, the natural odors from the herbs they use will transform your bathroom into a spa!
Alpinia Speciosa Revitalizing Shampoo and Conditioner
Cellina
