Vegan K-beauty for sensitive skin: the Vegan Cactus and Vegan Rice lines

How a buyer should read the vegan claims of Korean brand LICORNE, what sits behind its cactus and rice formulas, and why this is care, not a promise. A B2B read.

LICORNE is a Korean vegan skincare brand by Limetree Co., Ltd. (주식회사 라임트리). It positions itself as a home-aesthetic brand: professional-style care designed for everyday use at home. At the centre of the range sits plant-based vegan hydration formulated for sensitive skin.

For an international buyer, vegan cosmetics are not just a marketing label but a set of concrete questions: what exactly the maker states, what backs it up, and at which stage the documents are checked. Below we walk through the Vegan Cactus and Vegan Rice lines and how to read the brand's wording without guesswork.

What "vegan certification, as stated by the company" means

As stated by the company, LICORNE formulas are built on plant-based ingredients and carry a vegan certification, with manufacturing under CGMP / ISO 22716 quality systems. The wording itself matters: this is a company statement, not a fact independently confirmed on this page. The care is oriented, according to the company, toward mild, low-irritation use on sensitive skin.

For a buyer this implies a practical order of work: treat the claim as a starting point and request copies of the certificate and quality documents for verification at the deal stage. This is how Teranova separates what is stated from what is documented — without overstating in either direction.

The Vegan Cactus and Vegan Rice lines

Vegan Cactus and Vegan Rice are everyday vegan hydration built on cactus and rice extracts. The lines include mists, toners, serums, ampoules, lotions, creams, eye care, a sun essence and an enzyme cleanser. For example, the vegan cactus mist delivers instant hydration and comfort, while the vegan cactus serum is built for deep, lasting moisture.

In the rice line, the toner works as a first layer of hydration and glow, the serum and concentrated ampoule handle nourishment and even tone, and the cream seals the result. This structure covers the full daily routine — from cleansing to the final cream — within a single plant-based concept.

Care for sensitive skin

The brand philosophy centres on healing and soothing: the name LICORNE means "unicorn" in French, and the idea traces back to the legend that a unicorn's horn can heal. Hence the focus on restoring comfort to skin that has become sensitive under external and environmental stress. The formulas, as stated by the company, are gentle and low-irritation.

For markets where demand is shifting toward clean and vegan cosmetics, this profile fits neatly into the assortments of skincare studios, clean-beauty retailers and e-commerce brands. The products are positioned strictly as cosmetics for topical use — not as a medical device or medicine.

What this means for a buyer

The commercial parameters are set out clearly: the delivery basis is FOB Korea, and the minimum order is 3,000 units per item (tube-packaged items — 5,000). Indicative FOB pricing runs from about USD 2 to USD 12 per item depending on product and volume; the exact price list in KRW and USD and the lead times are finalised in the contract at the deal stage.

Registrations are declared by the company across several export markets — US MoCRA, EU CPNP, Japan PMDA, Malaysia NPRA, Russia EAC, China NMPA and Thailand TFDA — with per-market status and documents verified at the deal stage. Interest in this supplier is handled by Teranova: negotiations, due diligence and delivery support, from first contact to shipment.
