About the Manyo Brand
The history of Manyo began in South Korea in 2012. From the very beginning, we aimed to create well-considered cosmetic products whose formulas and purposes correspond to a specific skincare step. Over time, this approach became the basis for developing separate collections and expanding the assortment.
The Korean name 마녀공장 literally means “witch factory.” It reflects our idea of a cosmetic laboratory where familiar ingredients are combined into distinctive formulas. This concept is embodied in the philosophy of Everyday Magic for Your Skin: carefully selecting components, finding successful combinations, and creating cosmetics that are convenient to use every day.
Over the years, Manyo has developed new lines and entered international markets. In 2023, Manyo Factory was listed on the Korean KOSDAQ stock exchange. As of 2026, the brand is available in 66 countries, although the availability of individual collections and products may vary depending on the market.
Manyo Cosmetics
Manyo’s main focus is facial skincare. The assortment includes cleansing oils, cleansing balms, foams, and other face cleansers, as well as toners, pads, mists, essences, ampoules, serums, lotions, and creams. The catalog is complemented by masks, gentle exfoliating products, sunscreens, and products for specific areas.
Manyo also produces products for the lips and hands, hair, scalp, and body. Facial skincare remains the brand’s core area, while additional categories make it possible to complete an everyday beauty routine with the brand’s products.
Our Approach to Formulas
When creating cosmetics, we often build individual lines around a specific ingredient or a well-designed complex of components. Manyo formulas use Galactomyces and Bifida fermentation products, plant oils and extracts, niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, panthenol, ectoin, ceramides, and other ingredients known in modern skincare.
Fermented ingredients hold a special place in Manyo’s identity, but the brand is not limited to a single type of formula. We pay attention to ingredient selection, their combinations, and how comfortably a product can be incorporated into daily care. Each product has its own formula and purpose, so the characteristics of one collection do not automatically apply to the entire assortment.
Main Manyo Lines and Categories
The Manyo assortment is organized by collections, each with its own logic, key components, and place in a skincare system. This structure helps users navigate the catalog and find products for specific skin needs.
- Pure Cleansing: one of Manyo’s most recognizable categories. At its center is Pure Cleansing Oil, a cleansing oil designed to remove makeup, sunscreen, sebum, and everyday impurities. The collection also includes other formats for different cleansing steps. For us, cleansing is not just a technical procedure, but a foundation on which the skin’s subsequent comfort largely depends.
- Bifida: this category brings together products with Bifida fermentation components. It includes, in particular, Bifida Biome products created to moisturize and support the skin’s protective barrier. Depending on the specific formula, fermented components may be combined with ceramides, moisturizing substances, and other functional ingredients.
- Galac: based on Galactomyces fermentation products. This category is primarily intended for care addressing dullness, uneven tone, and irregular skin texture. In different products, Galactomyces may be combined with niacinamide and other active components, so it is worth considering the formula and purpose of the specific product when choosing.
- Panthetoin: the name is formed from the two key components of the line: panthenol and ectoin. Products in this category are designed for skin that lacks moisture, softness, and comfort. They can be included in a routine in cases of dryness or tightness, when supportive care is needed without a large number of different active ingredients.
- Our Vegan - a separate Manyo sub-brand with vegan positioning and formulas using plant-based components. It includes, in particular, products with houttuynia for moisturizing and soothing care, as well as gentle cleansing products.
- The V.Collagen Heart Fit collection includes ampoules, creams, and balms focused on supporting skin hydration and elasticity.
- Thermal brings together moisturizing products with thermal water and mineral components.
The global catalog also features the No Mercy collection of color cosmetics. Each of these categories has its own product composition, so when choosing, it is worth referring to the current description of the specific product.
How to Choose Manyo Products
The Manyo catalog includes products for dry, combination, oily, and sensitive skin. When choosing, it is worth considering not only your skin type, but also its current condition, your existing skincare routine, and the task the new product is intended to perform.
You can start with the basic steps: suitable cleansing, a moisturizer, and daily sun protection. A toner, essence, ampoule, or serum should be added when the skin has a specific need and the place of the new product in the routine is clear.
Manyo cosmetics do not have to be used only within a single collection. Products from different lines can be combined with one another or incorporated into a routine together with products from other brands. We recommend introducing new products gradually to monitor the skin’s response and build a consistent system in which each step has practical value.
