Abib

Abib is a South Korean skincare brand that has gained international attention for its minimalist, pH-focused approach to sensitive skin care. The brand name references the first month of the Hebrew calendar, symbolizing new beginnings and a return to skin's natural state. Abib's formulations prioritize slightly acidic pH levels that match the skin's natural acid mantle, and the brand is particularly known for its sheet masks and gentle cleansers. The Heartleaf line, featuring houttuynia cordata extract (a traditional East Asian medicinal plant), has become especially popular for calming irritated and acne-prone skin. Abib is available through Olive Young and international K-beauty retailers.
