Our story
One stick, every place you want to glow.
KAHI began in Seoul with a simple idea: skincare you can carry, and swipe on wherever your skin feels dry, even over make-up.
- Developed in Korea
- Dispatched from the UK
The idea
Skincare shouldn't stop when you leave the house.
Central heating, long commutes, that tight feeling by mid-afternoon: dry skin rarely waits until you're home. A cream in a jar is hard to reapply on the go, and it doesn't sit well over make-up.
So KAHI put its skincare in a stick. A solid balm with salmon PDRN and collagen that melts on contact, glides over fine lines, lips and the eye area, and can be tapped over make-up for a midday refresh.
Made in Korea
Rooted in Korean skincare.
KAHI was founded in Seoul in 2020. Its balms bring together salmon PDRN, a trio of low-molecular collagens and fermented Jeju oils, ingredients Korean skincare is known for.
The Multi Balm and the Eye Balm are developed in Korea and tested in clinical studies in Seoul.
