The houses we build with.

Two longevity anchors — REJURAN and SKIN1004 — plus twelve Korean houses we run with Crains, proven inside LA’s communities before they ever hit the shelf.

01REJURAN
Longevity anchor

REJURAN

Clinic-grade regeneration, bottled.

c-PDRN® salmon DNADermatologist heritageSeoul

REJURAN made its name inside Korean dermatology clinics, where its PDRN injectables became the quiet standard for skin regeneration. The cosmetics line brings that same polynucleotide science home — no needles, same obsession with repair.

The Dual Effect Ampoule pairs 5,000 ppm c-PDRN® with Ceramide NP: one drives cellular renewal and elasticity, the other rebuilds the barrier that keeps it. It is the anchor of our Longevity edit, and the reason our PDRN kits exist.

We carry REJURAN because longevity skincare should trace back to clinical practice, not marketing decks — and few brands can make that claim as directly.

SKIN1004

The untouched nature of Madagascar.

100% Madagascar centellaVegan & cruelty-freeSingle-origin sourcing

SKIN1004 built an entire house on one plant: Centella asiatica grown in the untouched highlands of Madagascar, harvested from a single origin and extracted without shortcuts.

That discipline shows up across the line — the signature Centella Ampoule for barrier repair, Hyalu-Cica hydration, and the newer renewal actives (Retinol, Matrixyl peptides, bakuchiol) that power our Cell Renewal and Barrier Repair kits.

It is the workhorse shelf of regeneration skincare: honest concentrations, gentle delivery, and formulas that let stressed skin get back to baseline.

Dear Dahlia

Luxury, veganized.

100% VeganDahlia Variabilis extractdeardahlia.us · Amazon

Dear Dahlia set out to prove vegan beauty could be the main event, not the compromise. Founded in Seoul in 2014, every formula is 100% vegan and cruelty-free, built around the brand's patented Dahlia Variabilis flower extract, and dressed in the marble compacts that made it a department-store darling from Paris to New York.

The heroes — Lip Paradise Intense Satin, the Paradise Dual Palettes, Skin Paradise cushion — already sell direct in the US through deardahlia.us and Amazon. Which is exactly why we're bringing it to communities as premium touch-up stations: sample the luxury, buy it the same afternoon.

Bano

One ampoule, one mask.

b-PDRN(γ)® 150·000ppm35g hydrogelAmazon + banocos.com

Bano comes out of Banobagi, the Seoul medical-beauty group with twenty-plus years of clinic experience — and it shows. The house ingredient is an exclusive third-generation biome PDRN, vegan-derived and loaded at 150,000ppm, delivered through a 35g hydrogel mask that's essentially a full ampoule you wear.

Grazia USA put it on the dermatologist-recommended list this summer. We're putting it where it makes the most sense: recovery zones after cold plunges and evening runs, where a ten-minute gel mask is the whole point.

Abib

Back to pure.

HeartleafCostco 255 doorsGum Sheet Mask

Abib takes its name from an old word for the first month — the season when everything returns to its purest state. That's the philosophy in a word: minimal formulas, mild acidic pH, and heartleaf doing the quiet work of calming skin the city stressed out.

The Gum Sheet Mask and Heartleaf Spot Pad built the cult; the Collagen Eye Patch took it mainstream, landing in 255 US Costco warehouses in 2025. For the mom communities we run with, that's the perfect loop: try the patch on a morning walk, grab the jar on the weekend Costco run.

MEDIHEAL turned the sheet mask into a science and then into a habit — Olive Young's #1 brand two years running, US sales up 3x in 2024, and the Madecassoside 'Nemo Pad' sitting at the top of its Amazon category.

This summer we took it to the pavement: five LA run crews — Midnight Runners, Latina Baddie, Koreatown Run Club, RunChata, Sunshine Run — got post-run recovery kits packed straight from our warehouse. Next up: making the KRC residency monthly, and wiring samples to the new Olive Young Pasadena store with a QR.

Beauty of Joseon

Sephora ~500 doorsRelief Sun icon15·000 samples this fall

Beauty of Joseon bottles Joseon-era beauty wisdom — rice, ginseng, propolis — in formulas that broke the American internet. Relief Sun made it the face of K-sun care; Sephora put it in roughly five hundred doors.

Right now it's our busiest program: nine community stops in six weeks, sampling 15,000 Tinted Dayscreen units across moms, skaters, students, and slow-morning people — from a 785-bag campus takeover at LMU to the flagship Coffee & Chill Venice morning. The data flows back to Goodai; the shades walk out the door.

DA Effect

Clinic science, home ritual.

GINSTECA-X™Cooling mask −14°FAmazon +614%

DA Effect is what happens when a Seoul medical group with thirteen years of clinical data decides to design the aftercare itself. The house complex, GINSTECA-X™, pairs 5% TECA with ginseng exosomes for barrier repair you can measure — every product Dermatest-verified.

The Treatment Cooling Mask drops skin temperature up to 14°F on contact and sold out its first run within a month of the February US launch; by May, Amazon sales were up 614%. Our plan is simple: cooldown zones at night skates and runs, where that temperature drop is a party trick that converts.

Salmon PDRN + centellaVegan · fragrance-freeMom Walk rollout 9/28

Heveblue — from the French rêve bleu, 'blue dream' — was founded on a radical idea for beauty: print the exact concentration of every hero ingredient on the label. Vegan, fragrance-free, clinically tested to a 0.00 irritation index with Korea's dermatology research institute.

The Salmon Caring Centella line (salmon PDRN meets centella) is the viral one. Stateside it's cross-border only for now — which makes our communities the front door: Fashion Mamas got it in August, and a two-week, multi-chapter Mom Walk rollout kicks off September 28. HypeLife Drops carries it in the US in the meantime.

Amuse is Seoul-girl makeup with a conscience — 100% vegan certified, cruelty-free, and built like skincare that happens to be color. The Jel-Fit Tint and Soft Cream Cheek are the kind of textures people buy twice.

US retail hasn't caught up yet (it's Amazon and cross-border for now), so we're doing what communities do best: swatch bars at Newps and girlgroup LA nights, where a twenty-something meets her tint shade in person and orders it before she's home.

2026 is its American beginning, and until the retail channel lands we're building recognition the community way: cushion shade-matching stations with LA's women's social clubs, where base makeup gets tried on real skin in real daylight.

Lesstopy makes one promise and keeps it clinically: moisture for the most reactive skin in the house, from newborns up. The ATO Cream runs on a patented Lycopus leaf extract, 23% organic content, COSMOS certification and a Dermatest 'Excellent' — with an 18% measured improvement in skin-barrier function.

It's exactly what a mom community asks for by name, which is why it rides shotgun in the September 28 Mom Walk multi-chapter rollout — stroller-bag samples across SoCal, host content from the moms themselves, and HypeLife Drops as its first US doorway.

Demaf — short for 'Dear My Friends' — calls itself Korea's first community-driven skincare brand, and means it: listen to skin concerns first, formulate second. Barrier-first, honest, small.

That DNA makes it our favorite pilot: 'skin talk' co-creation sessions at Coffee & Chill, where members' feedback loops straight back into the lab. You can already buy it in the US through MUSINSA's brand store and LA's Krescendo.

Kundal is Korea's #1 perfume shampoo — in-house perfumery, naturally derived formulas, no parabens, sulfates or silicones — with the Honey & Macadamia duo stocked in US Costco warehouses nationwide since 2024 and a caffeine scalp line newly launched on Amazon.

Hair and body is the easiest yes at a finish line, so this one's headed for the run crews: post-run mini shampoo and body-wash kits with KRC and Midnight Runners, then a hand-wash table at the dog club. Three US channels means every sample has somewhere to convert.
