Some beauty brands are loud.
Some are trendy.
And then there’s Dear Dahlia, quietly elegant, uncompromisingly vegan, and instantly recognisable from across the room.
With its marble-wrapped compacts and rose-gold accents, Dear Dahlia has become one of Korea’s most admired beauty houses. But beneath the packaging lies serious performance, conscious formulas, and a devotion to timelessness that sets it apart from just another pretty tube.
Let’s take a closer look.
So… what is Dear Dahlia?
Launched in 2014, Dear Dahlia is a premium vegan Korean beauty brand known for high-performance makeup, luxurious textures, and a signature aesthetic that looks like it belongs in an art museum.
Every product is infused with Dahlia Variabilis Flower Extract, a patented antioxidant that comforts and conditions the skin, proving makeup can look incredible and care for your complexion at the same time.
And yes, the brand is 100% vegan and cruelty-free. No beeswax. No carmine. No exceptions.
A story rooted in timeless beauty
Dear Dahlia’s muse is the dahlia flower, long associated with elegance and strength. Founder Park Ray-hyun built the brand at a time when vegan beauty was barely a whisper in South Korea. Her mission?
To prove you can create makeup that’s ethical, luxurious, and genuinely high-performance, not one or the other.
The brand’s philosophy, “Timeless Beauty, classic but never ordinary,” runs through everything they create.
It rests on three core values:
100% vegan & cruelty-free
No animal-derived ingredients, ever, including common pigments like carmine or beeswax. The brand also never tests on animals.
High-performance formulation
Rich colour payoff, long-lasting wear, and textures that rival top global beauty houses.
Clean & conscious
Products are formulated without parabens, sulphates, or phthalates, and are enriched with:
- Dahlia flower extract
- Shea butter
- Argan oil
- Sweet almond oil
So yes, your lipstick is basically part skincare.
