About Glasskin Beauty

Who we are

Glasskin Beauty is a French online shop dedicated to Korean skincare. It is run by IBN AL QAYYIM, a simplified joint-stock company based in Nîmes, in the south of France. We do not manufacture anything: we select, stock and ship from France the products of 21 Korean brands, including Anua, COSRX, Beauty of Joseon, SKIN1004, Medicube, Biodance, Round Lab, Mary&May, Purito Seoul, Sungboon Editor, Dr.Althea, Arencia, celimax, AXIS-Y, d'Alba, Dr.Melaxin, Illiyoon, Ma:nyo, Mixsoon, numbuzin and TIRTIR.

Our catalogue is deliberately short. It is organised in four ways so that you can quickly find what matters to you: by skin concern, by routine step, by ingredient and by brand.

Why K-beauty

Three qualities of Korean skincare won us over.

• Skin barrier first. Korean formulas focus on hydration, soothing and sun protection before trying to "correct" anything. Skin whose barrier is respected tolerates actives better.
• Gentle formulas. Skin-friendly pH, light textures, gradual concentrations of actives: everything you need to build a routine without irritation.
• Accessible prices. Most of our products cost far less than department-store skincare with a comparable composition. That makes it easier to be consistent, and consistency matters more than the price of the bottle.

How we select

Every product has to answer the same three questions before it joins the catalogue.

1. Evidence on the actives

We read the INCI list, where the actives sit in the formula and what the scientific literature says about those ingredients: niacinamide, centella asiatica, ceramides, peptides, retinol, vitamin C, PDRN. When the data is thin, we say so on the product page.

2. Tolerance

We favour fragrance-free or lightly fragranced formulas without drying alcohol, and we flag ingredients that can bother reactive skin.

3. Real feedback from users

We read reviews, ours and those published elsewhere, looking for patterns: texture, wear under make-up, reported reactions. A product that is much loved but often poorly tolerated does not make it in.

What we don't do

• No numbered promises, no "clinically proven": we describe the actives and their limits, in line with the European regulation on cosmetic claims.
• No before/after photos.
• No counterfeits and no products of uncertain origin: we sell genuine Korean skincare, bought from professional distributors based in the EU, with compliant labelling. Our Authenticity page sets out these commitments.

How we ship

Orders leave France within 24 to 48 working hours. We ship to France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Belgium, Portugal, Switzerland and the United States; exact delivery times and costs are shown at checkout. You have 30 days to return an unopened product.
