About Us
KARUNA MEANS "COMPASSION" IN SANSKRIT
GIRL BOSS: LINDA WANG
Our founder, Linda Wang created Karuna to make skincare simple. As a child, Linda suffered from eczema. One doctor prescribed an ointment and instructed her to wrap the rash with plastic wrap to push the medicine deeper. Within a matter of days, the rash was gone! That was the "AH HAH" moment!
She traveled to Asia and came across sheet masks. Instantly she knew this technique could work in the same way. When she couldn’t find one she loved--she started to handpick ingredients that provided visible skin benefits for her own skincare line...And just like that, Karuna was born.
WHY KARUNA
- Not All Masks are Created Equal - We make the most out of our ingredients to ensure they are on the top of the list to give your skin the maximum benefits. Don’t just apply, treat your skin with good ingredients.
- Clean Pledge - We continue to create clean formulations with innovative technology. As the industry grows, so does our list of “free of” ingredients. Our products are free of: Parabens, Phthalates, Formaldehyde, Mineral and Castor oils and more.
- Luxurious Experience - Our biodegradable, natural fibers are moisture magnets that retain 50% more moisture and lock the serum into the mask. Your skin gets all the benefits, with none of the product waste and repelling synthetic fibers!
