Our Story

Our Mission

To help make Asian Beauty for everyone.

We believe Asian beauty isn’t just for a specific demographic or background. It’s for anyone who values care, innovation, and ritual in their everyday routine.

No more second guessing about what’s authentic or where to find it — at Kiyoko Beauty, you can explore confidently knowing every product is genuine, thoughtfully sourced, and made to help you discover your best self.

Our Roots

AAPI-owned. Canada-based.

Founded in 2021 by Gillian, Kevin, and Susan, Kiyoko Beauty is an Asian-owned brand based in Toronto, shipping across Canada and the United States.

We created Kiyoko to solve a problem we saw firsthand: Asian beauty should be easy to explore, but it's not. Authentic products are hard to find. Routines feel overwhelming. And even though Asian skincare has shaped global beauty for generations, it still feels out of reach for so many people here.

Kiyoko is our answer. We curate the best of Asian beauty and make it approachable, trustworthy, and welcoming — so you can discover what works for you without the guesswork.
