Each of Ess' new products -- like this sulfate-free hair mask -- is formulated with a proprietary technology dubbed Zip-Up, designed to repair split ends and weak cuticles with keratin microbeads, plant proteins and marine algae. Despite luxurious ingredients and salon-quality packaging, the products are affordably priced at $14 or less.
Peach & Lily founder Alicia Yoon, a Korean-beauty authority, was just tapped to curate a selection of her favorite K-beauty products for Target. One of her picks: this moisturizer from Caolion, packed with ceramides and chamomile and free of parabens, sulfates and phthalates.

Korean beauty products like BB cream kicked off the trend of makeup/skin-care hybrids like this gem from Twenty Four/Seven.
