About Us
Arencia is a Korean skincare brand built on traditional Korean artisanal techniques and advanced modern science. We believe that skincare should be gentle by nature, yet effective by design — shaped through time, intention, and care.
Where Our Story Began
Arencia’s story began at a small orphanage in Panama, where many children suffered from skin irritation. To offer something gentler, we began hand-crafting bars with natural ingredients. Each bar was a small gift of comfort — from our hands to theirs.
From our earliest days, we learned that beauty must be crafted with intention and care. This belief deepened as we embraced Korea’s artisans, who spend years refining a single practice. We carried that discipline into our formulations, creating skincare shaped by time and thoughtful craft.
Ingredient-Led Formulation
That philosophy guides how we formulate today. Every Arencia product begins with a close study of the ingredient itself — how it behaves naturally, how it interacts with the skin, and how it should be treated during formulation. Rather than forcing performance, we build each formula around the ingredient’s inherent strengths, creating skincare that feels calm on the skin while delivering meaningful results.
Time-Crafted Artisanal Method
To protect this integrity, our products are crafted using time-honored Korean artisanal methods. Through a traditional kneading technique and a slow, 72-hour refinement process inspired by the Korean Pojae tradition, we rely on time instead of heat or aggressive processing. Gentle friction and micro-warmth soften botanical structures while preserving purity, balance, and natural potency.
Scientific Innovation, Thoughtfully Applied
Modern science completes this process. Arencia integrates advanced technologies such as cell-wall-aligned extraction and micro-liposome encapsulation to enhance absorption, stability, and performance — without compromising the integrity of the original ingredients.
The result is skincare that works in harmony with the skin: thoughtfully crafted, gently effective, and shaped by time.
