BRING GREEN, the vegan K-beauty skincare brand from CJ Olive Young — South Korea’s largest beauty retailer — has just launched its Tea Tree Cica sun care line in the U.S., featuring non-nano zinc oxide. There are a few reasons to be genuinely excited about this.

Firstly, it’s great to see another clean beauty brand with an official Amazon storefront. With growing concerns around counterfeit products, having a verified presence on Amazon not only builds trust but also makes shopping easier and more reliable for consumers.

Secondly, non-nano zinc oxide remains one of the best choices for clean, mineral-based sunscreen. BRING GREEN is vegan certified as well!

And finally, the price point is reasonable. Clean K-beauty, thoughtfully formulated and conveniently available on Amazon? That’s a win all around.

CJ Olive Young in the USA

It was announced earlier this year that CJ Olive Young established a US entity known as CJ Olive Young USA based in Los Angeles, and there’s talk of CJ Olive Young opening its first physical store in the US – hoorah!

Investing in K-Beauty: How U.S. Investors Can Tap Into South Korea’s Skincare Boom?

K-beauty’s expansion in the U.S. presents an intriguing opportunity for clean beauty-focused investors. While popular brands like Laneige and Cosrx continue to capture American consumers, most parent companies remain listed on South Korea’s stock exchange (KRX), not in the U.S. This means U.S. investors can either go the direct route buying stocks like AmorePacific or LG Household & Health Care through international brokers, or opt for a simpler path via ETFs.

Wow. Kudos to California Naturals Haircare

Disclaimer: This review is based on my personal purchase. I bought these products with my own money, and this is not a paid advertisement.

Let’s talk about California Naturals and the Owen Wilson advertisements that are basically a masterclass in comedic hair marketing. Wilson, with his gorgeous tousled locks, turns what could be a mundane product commercial into entertainment.

But beyond the adorable marketing, the product itself truly is a standout in the clean beauty landscape. In the crowded world of haircare, finding a product that genuinely delivers on its promises can be challenging.

What’s Inside Matters

The ingredients. California Naturals isn’t just another haircare line. It’s a carefully formulated collection that demonstrates how natural ingredients can provide professional-grade results. The formulation feels luxurious, reminiscent of salon products, but without the premium pricing, which is exactly what the world needs: quality clean products that are not overpriced!

A Scent That Transforms Your Shower Experience

The scent is where California Naturals truly shines. Unlike many natural products California Naturals boasts a sophisticated scent profile that turns your daily hair routine into a salon-like experience. It’s the kind of aroma that makes you look forward to washing your hair, a small but significant luxury.

Eco-friendly

Beyond performance, California Naturals–a certified B corporation–demonstrates a serious commitment to environmental responsibility. Their packaging is a standout feature: 100% recycled plastic that doesn’t compromise on quality or aesthetics.

A Practical Recommendation

Pro tip: While these products are available in stores, online ordering might be your best bet, or at least in my case it is. A recent in-store experience revealed the potential pitfall of display products—an opened bottle can lead to unexpected messes. I learned this firsthand after encountering an opened bottle during a visit to CVS. The ‘Classic’ Cleanse and Restore shampoo on the top shelf had been opened by someone at CVS and shampoo was all over the bottle, so I opted for the unopened Super Moisture Shampoo instead. In the future it’s online ordering only for me.

There are several formulas to choose from:

Price Point: Salon Quality Without the Salon Price

Here’s the real kicker: salon-grade quality at nearly half the price. In a market where premium haircare often means emptying your wallet, California Naturals offers a refreshing alternative. You’re getting professional-level products without the professional-level expense. It really is ‘all good!”
