ABOUT US
Kkot was born from love, loss, and the desire to heal. Inspired by a father’s care for his daughter’s sensitive skin and a son’s tribute to a sister lost to cancer, Kkot is more than skincare—it’s a symbol of compassion.
We create gentle, effective products designed for delicate, vulnerable skin, using ingredients that soothe, restore, and protect. Each formula is a promise: to honor those we’ve loved, and to care deeply for those still with us.
Kkot means “flower” in Korean—a reminder that even in times of hardship, beauty and healing can bloom.
OUR EXECUTIVE TEAM
HEUNG
Our lead formulator, Heung, is a father, healer, and visionary who believes skincare should nurture, not just treat. After a career in engineering, a battle with severe illness led him to Eastern medicine, where he became a licensed acupuncturist and herbalist.
​
Driven by a passion for holistic healing, he meticulously researches and formulates every kkot product—honoring both science and nature. His work is a testament to women’s resilience, ensuring skincare that empowers, protects, and truly cares.
HYERI
A devoted mother first, Hyeri's journey with kkot began when she tirelessly sought solutions for her daughter Tammi’s severe eczema. Now, she channels that same passion into leading kkot’s sales and marketing, drawing from her experience as a musician, educator, and salesperson.
For Hyeri, kkot isn’t just skincare—it’s a promise of care, resilience, and love.
TAMMI
Tammi has battled eczema since infancy. While symptoms ebbed and flowed, college brought new challenges—finding skincare that didn’t cause irritation felt impossible. Seeing her struggle, her father, Heung, took matters into his own hands, formulating lotions at home in Seattle and shipping them across the country to the East Coast.
​
Tammi’s journey is at the heart of kkot—a reminder that skincare should be healing, gentle, and made with love.
