Beyond its Instagram-worthy appearance and fruit-powered formulas, Glow Recipe products really and truly are like a long-awaited tropical vacation for your skin.
The business got its start in 2014 by two BFFs, Sarah Lee and Christine Chang, as a retailer that just sold someone else’s cruelty-free K-beauty products. In 2015, the duo made an appearance on “Shark Tank,” and although they were offered an investment, the women turned it down. After years of research and building the brand around the founders’ Korean background, Glow Recipe entered the beauty world with its own line of skin care products in 2017.

From refreshing toners to hydrating serums, every bottle is bursting with natural, clean goodness and playful vibes. Glow Recipe’s product line includes skin care items like watermelon-infused moisturizers, avocado sleeping masks and blueberry cleansers, all delivering hydration and radiant skin. Some of the reasons we love this brand don’t just have to do with the cute presentation of its products but rather their effectiveness and affordability.
Is Glow Recipe Cruelty-Free?
Emphatically, YES! According to Cruelty-Free Kitty and Glow Recipe, their products are clean, vegan (with the exception of the Avocado Melt Sleeping Mask), and Leaping Bunny-certified cruelty-free. Glow Recipe is committed to creating clean, natural formulas with eco-conscious ingredients and never tests on animals.
Glow Recipe also has The Never List with every ingredient they don’t use, a 2023 Sustainability Report to back up their earth-friendly claims, and the different ways they give back, with 1% of purchases going to a nonprofit of your choice. Glow Recipe includes every product’s shelf life, so you’ll know exactly when to toss and restock.
