Allow me to explain.
They constantly seek out light and acceptance despite living in darkness.
Sounds familiar, right?
Yi is no stranger to the world of beauty and seeking “good light.”
The media platform has become a driving force for inclusivity in the beauty industry.
“I didn’t feel like I belonged anywhere,” Yi adds.
(And wefullyagree.)
It’s even gentle enough forsensitive skin.
As the child of Korean immigrants, “I grew upwith toners,” Yi says.
And oat makes an appearance in the form of calmingoat kernel extract.
Tremella fuciformis sporocarp extract, akasnow mushroom, is the true star of the toner, though.
The final product of Good Light’s inaugural trio is the We Come in Peace Probiotic Serum.
Bakuchiol, a gentle, plant-based alternativeto retinol, is also featured in the serum.
(And let’s be real, you need a lot more than a serumto achieve porelessness.)
Instead, Yi prefers to focus on the self-care elements of K-beauty that he learned from his parents.
“That was a way of self-preservation in this very difficult new world of America.
That is the way that I’ve been able to also survive so many years.”
Most of all, Good Light Beauty isn’t a genderless skin-care line.
Labeling a brand as “genderless,” though, erases people’s long-fought-forgender identity, Yi explains.
Instead, Good Light Beauty is genderinclusive.
“Gender shouldn’t be dismissed.
Gender identity is so important to people’s lives,” he continues.
“For us, we are beyond the binary.
Skin, at the end of the day, is skin.
We should all feel like we belong.”
Good Light Beauty launches on March 17 ongoodlight.world.
