URANG

URANG is a Korean skincare brand that presents itself as natural and organic, according to the brand. According to Korean press, it grew out of the work of an aromatherapist who used to make her own cosmetics. That story sets the tone: products presented around plants, oils and ingredients you can recognize. If you like products whose names tell you the featured ingredient, such as rose, yuja or cactus, URANG is a brand worth discovering.

At Ma Petite Coree, the URANG selection covers almost every step of a routine: cleansing oil and foam, handmade soaps, toner, essences, ampoules, oil serums, creams, a balm and a mask. You can also read our article about the URANG brand to get to know it in more detail.

The lines below are groupings by name that we make at Ma Petite Coree, based on product titles:

• Oil Serum: the Brightening Blue Oil Serum, the Glow Oil Serum and the Vitamin Oil Serum, oil serums in dropper bottles.
• Ampoule: the Pink Everlasting Ampoule and the Yuja Vita Ampoule.
• Rose: the Rose Ceramide Cream and the True Rose Repair Essence.
• Mist: the Organic Rose Mist and the Perfect Daily Mist.
• Handmade Soap: the Sweet Honey & Milk Soap, the Troubleshooter Soap, the Artmijia Green Soap and the Rose Garden Soap.

As for ingredients, the product names set the tone: rose, yuja, cactus, honey, ceramides. For the full list of any product, check the packaging or the product page.

For cleansing, start with your rhythm. If you wear makeup, begin with the Natural Cleansing Oil, then the Creamy Bubble Foam Cleanser. If you prefer a minimal routine, a bar soap such as the Sweet Honey & Milk Soap is enough to wash the face. To compare with other brands, see also our sensitive skin page.

For skincare, apply a toner or essence first, add an ampoule or an oil serum, then finish with a cream. If your skin feels tight, look at the Cactus Oasis Cream, the Rose Ceramide Cream or the SOS Multi Balm. Cosmetic advice, not medical advice: if you are unsure about an ingredient, read the INCI list on the packaging.

You can also compare with similar brands such as AROMATICA or WHAMISA.

First, the oil serums. The brand offers several, in dropper bottles that you can tell apart at a glance by color: blue for the Brightening Blue Oil Serum, yellow for the Glow Oil Serum and the Vitamin Oil Serum. Korean press highlighted this oil serum series a few years ago.

Second, a recognizable look. The simple packaging carries the URANG name, and the ampoules, mists and creams are photographed with roses, cactus, yuja or honey. Third, handmade bar soaps stamped with the brand name, sitting next to the more classic steps of a Korean routine.

To discover the brand, here are URANG products to look at first. The Natural Cleansing Oil and the Creamy Bubble Foam Cleanser make a cleansing duo. The Prestige Purple Shield Essence Toner is an essence toner to apply right after cleansing. The Pink Everlasting Ampoule and the Yuja Vita Ampoule are the two ampoules in the selection. Among the creams, the Cactus Oasis Cream and the Rose Ceramide Cream are easy to compare, and the SOS Multi Balm works as a multi-purpose balm. Finally, the Clarifying Blue Mask is the brand's mask, with a blue-grey texture, and the Organic Rose Mist and the Perfect Daily Mist are its two mists.
