Anua
Anua was founded in 2019 by Korean brand incubator The Founders and has rapidly gained global traction through viral K-beauty channels. The brand's formulations center on Houttuynia cordata (heartleaf), a traditional East Asian botanical with emerging clinical evidence, though independent validation of Anua's specific products remains limited.
