Mauve Fantasticever is a first-of-its-kind Korean beauty brand because it has a specific focus on gender equality and inclusivity. Rather than creating products that are divided for men and women, the brand aims to get people thinking beyond the binary and connecting with products based on their values.
As founder June Yoo describes, "Mauve is not only about breaking the rules of the beauty industry's old gender bias, but also promoting social inclusion of LGBTQ+ communities. In Korea, social acceptance of homosexuality is relatively low compared to other countries and LGBTQ+ communities are unfamiliar to most people."
The brand's best-selling product, Hydro Mafia Booster, is a clean, high-performance solution for boosting skin with the benefits of a naturally derived moisturizing ingredient for instant renewal.
