Growing up in Asia, skincare was never treated as something surface-level in our home. My Korean grandmother believed skin was deeply connected to overall health — influenced by nourishment, stress, sleep, environment, and the small daily rituals that support the body over time.
That philosophy stayed with me, and ultimately became the foundation for iota.
We built iota differently: treatment-focused bodycare powered by whole, nutrient-dense ingredients, clinically backed actives, and microbiome-conscious formulations designed to support the skin barrier. We believe bodycare can be deeply sensorial and fragrance-led, while still delivering real results with the rigor of facial skincare.
From antioxidant-rich matcha and yuzu to peptides, ferments, stress adaptogens, prebiotics, and vitamin-rich botanicals, every formula is designed to turn daily bodycare into something both effective and meaningful.
Seeing iota on shelf
@ultabeauty during AAPI Heritage Month feels incredibly full circle — not just as a founder, but as someone shaped by generations of care, tradition, and culture that led here.
Grateful to
@ultabeauty for spotlighting AAPI founders and the stories behind the brands 🤍
