Collection: Dr Althea

Dr. Althea is a South Korean skincare brand founded in 2014, focused on gentle yet scientifically grounded formulas suited for sensitive and problem-prone skin. The "Dr." reflects its research-driven approach, while "Althea" refers to South Korea's national flower (and the soothing Althaea plant), representing the brand's natural side. It emphasizes clean, vegan, cruelty-free formulas and eco-friendly packaging.

Best-known products include the 345 Relief Cream, the 147 Barrier Cream (with Paeonia/peony extract for barrier repair), and the Vitamin C Boosting Serum for brightening. Centella, probiotics, ceramides, and hyaluronic acid feature across the line.

Formulas focus on hydration, soothing sensitive skin, barrier repair, and a healthy glow, with lightweight textures. It's positioned as a premium-but-accessible derma-inspired brand.
