About Us

and-a was born from one simple belief —  
that true care begins when we truly understand and gently hug ourselves.  

Founded by a couple living between Toronto and San Francisco,  
and-a began as a journey to create skincare safe enough for expecting mothers  
and kind enough for every sensitive skin.  

In Korean, “안다 (anda)” means both “to understand” and “to hug.”  
We embrace this meaning in everything we make —  
clean, fragrance-free formulas designed with empathy,  
crafted in Korea with care, and loved by families around the world.  

and-a is more than skincare.  
It’s a gentle reminder to pause, to breathe, and to hug yourself.
