About Us

Our Story

It’s not about how many steps you take. How many times you cleanse. Or how much money you spend.

For us, skincare is about joy.

The joy of exploring a carefully curated selection of beautifully packaged, never-before-seen products.

The joy of experimenting with textures, scents and formulations, creating the regime that works for you.

The joy of seeing your skin come to life at its absolute best – luminous, calm and bright. 

We select every product at Melon & Starfish with this philosophy. We squirt, scrub, splash and peel, choosing only the most joyful – and most effective – K-beauty products to bring to the UK. 

Because when you start and end the day joyfully, when your bathroom cabinet becomes a treasure chest and not a storage unit, that’s when skincare and beauty brands become self-care.

Which is just the way it should be.

A note from our founder, Gloria

Travel sparks new ideas and passions. It all started with a 'brave' decision - heading to Korea to learn Korean.
There, I discovered about K-beauty, for the first time. An adventurous career-break transformed into a burning
desire to bring the Korean skincare philosophy back to the UK.
 
K-beauty made its name with the famous ’10-step’ routine.
But the truth is much simpler -- your lifestyle (how busy you are), and your location (the climate you’re in).
 
The essence of Korean Beauty is “skincare always comes first”.
Taking care of the canvas before painting (... and, yes! You do need to wear SPF even on rainy days)
 
After all, skincare should be fun; not a burden or a chore.
It’s all about experimenting and finding out what’s best for your skin. :)
