I was recently introduced to the skincare brand, Olivia Umma, and this Korean beauty brand is worth trying based upon my experience with the Olivia UMMA Glass Skin Strawberry & Tangerine Serum.

About Olivia Umma,

Inspired by the Tanghulu dessert made by dipping fruit into melted sugar, this first collection of clarity-focused products was created in an effort to mimic that glasslike effect on our skin. With a dedication to clean ingredients that work well on skin of all ages we aim to deliver a Korean-made beauty brand for every generation. And our mission, like the aim of our product range is that your skin can look as clear as glass.  

While Korean beauty has been at the forefront of beauty trends in the skincare space for a long time for the long lusted after skin clarity that so many brands have been able to deliver, we aim to take that expectation to another level, delivering fully vegan, Korean made beauty products created by some of the top scientists in the space with over 50 years of time logged perfecting their methods. Armed with both science-backed research and an unwavering desire to deliver skincare for the generations, we bring you OLIVIAUMMA–a labor of love in the name of beauty. 

OLIVIAUMMA translates directly to Olivia’s mom and the namesake for the brand is exactly that eponymous. Hye Young Kim set out on a mission to create a collection of cross-generational skin care that could be used by people of all ages. The aim was to use vegan ingredients and the knowledge of top scientists to create a range that while focused on individual concerns–we know all skin isn’t made the same–would still be healthy for all ages. No person too young or old should have to miss out on glass skin effects because of an ingredient profile. This was conceptualized for all of mankind

Olivia Umma Glass Skin Strawberry & Tangerine Serum is a Vitamin C serum that is made from strawberries and tangerines, and therefore it is rich in vitamins A, B and E. This serum is formulated to brighten and revitalize the skin, and therefore to help improve your skin tone. The serum has a lightweight gel-like texture that immediately melts into the skin without leaving behind a sticky or greasy residue. It has a very faint  fruity aroma, but it is neither assertive, nor long lasting. It leaves my skin brightened, luminous and hydrated. 

According to Olivia Umma,

Drawing inspiration from the popular Korean dessert Tanghulu, a sugar-coated fruit that resembles glass, our Glass Skin Tanghulu Strawberry and Tangerine Serum is specially formulated to give you that glass-skin look. Our serum provides antioxidants for anti-aging and brightening effects. It also contains niacinamide, a form of vitamin B, which helps build the skin barrier. Vitamin A helps make your skin healthier and stronger, and vitamin E helps protect from the sun and fight aging. Additionally, the visible granules from tangerines in our serum help boost collagen production. It has granules of tangerine inside, and you can see and feel it!

Benefit & Claims:
  • Brightens and improve your skin tone
  • Helps to build skin barrier
  • Helps Anti-Aging
  • No Parabens. No Mineral Oil. No Silicone.
Directions: Dispense 3-4 pumps onto palm of hand and press onto skin. Apply to the face and neck daily, morning and night, after cleansing with OLIVIAUMMA Glass Skin Tanghulu cleansing foam. Theresults are even better, followed by our Glass Skin Blueberry Serum.
