Genderless K-beauty lip color built for self-expression.

South Korea·Founded 2018·by Lee Min-mi

Laka is a South Korean beauty brand recognized in Asia for its genderless, inclusive approach to lip makeup and known for category-defining hero products like the Fruity Glam Tint and Bonding Glow Lipstick. The brand makes its US debut at Sephora on February 20, 2026, launching on sephora.com and in 80 select Sephora stores nationwide with a focus on its core lip lineup.

Laka built its reputation in K-beauty by treating lip color as an expressive accessory rather than a feminine signifier — campaigns feature models of every gender presentation, and the formulas prioritize comfort, layerability, and a non-sticky finish that works in the K-beauty lip-tint tradition. The Fruity Glam Tint retails at $18 in ten transfer-proof shades and is positioned as one of the brand's defining US launch products.
