Frequently Asked Questions

1 Why Haru Haru
1.1 Official and legal products

We at Haru Haru Beauty are in direct contact with all of the Korean brands that we have taken into our selection. As a premium reseller, all of our products originate directly from the official brand or distributor's factories or warehouses.

The products we offer have safely passed laboratory tests in the European Union and are subsequently registered and labeled by us or a (different) RP in the European Union according to article (EC) N ° 1223/2009 of the European Union.

If you choose Haru Haru Beauty, you choose a safe market within the European Union. The EU has strict requirements and controls on products and packaging that are safe for us, which have been produced in a safe environment, and in addition, the products are free of animal testings.

There are many "k-beauty" stores in Europe today that sell products without meeting these requirements. Not only does this mean that the products have not been tested in Europe, but there is also a chance that the products have been tested on animals and in case of safety issues, no responsible person will appear. So keep this in mind when purchasing!

 

Cosmetics and personal care products imported from South Korea into the EU have to comply with strict rules and legislation in South Korea, but the manufacturers and the products are also tested and approved within the EU according to EU laws and regulations.

This enables, for example, your doctor to immediately view the required and detailed product information about the product via a special portal to be able to act quickly in urgent cases.

 
1.2 What are the selection criteria for Haru Haru?

Before a product enters our store, it has already gone through a long way of selection process.

In addition to the fact that the product has passed Korean standards (such as animal testing-free, responsible production process at the manufacturer), it has also had to take various tests in Europe such as stability (after transport, etc.)

In addition, we test the products for a certain period of time in the Netherlands under different conditions and on our test panel with different skin types and problems. (The test panel can vary per product)

Criteria's where we aim our focus includes:

Formulation
Ratio between active ingredients and texture / scent regulators.

Easy to use
Is it easy to use and can it be used together with other products without having to be a scientist.

Price
Is the price / quality ratio correct? Is there a better product available in the same price range?

Feeling
Light textures that feel fine on the skin and does not aggravate and has no or few odors that linger.

1.3 Wide range of products

Haru Haru carefully selects each of the products suitable for different steps in the skincare routine. We also pay close attention to our customers' different skin types, problems and lifestyles so that we can offer only the best.

Each product undergoes a 3 months "probation" period. This probation time is important to us so that we can listen closely to our customers' feedback. After the 3 months it will be a stay or a nay.

1.4 Original products fresh from S-Korea

All of our Korean Beauty products at Haru Haru are imported directly* from South Korea. As a premium reseller we can guarantee the authenticity, quality and life span of products because we are in direct contact with all of the brands or official distributors in South Korea.

* The quality of the products remains better when there are no constant movements and temperature changes.

7 Other questions
7.1 Are these cruelty-free products?

Before 2017, most cosmetics brands in South Korea were already cruelty-free. But in 2017, South Korea went down in history as one of the first countries where animal testing for the cosmetics industry was officially banned.

7.2 Are these products vegan?

All our products are cruelty free, but not all are free from animal based ingredients. Sometimes a product uses animal based ingredients such as snail mucus or honey derivatives. Although there are sometimes doubts about whether honey is vegan or not, we chose to exclude all our products with honey (propolis, bees wax, etc.) from our [vegan] tag and [vegan-friendly] category.

7.3 Can you guarantee that the images match with the products?

The photos are taken under different conditions, there is a slight risk of color differences. However, the differences will be so small that it does not constitute a reason to return the products.

7.4 The ingredient list online does not match the packaging / other sites.

The order and name of ingredient can vary on an ingredient list due to the requirements according to European legislation.

In the US (often used internationally), the sorting rules apply to dominance (high to low), with the exception of active drug substances, components with less than 1% concentration and colorants that can be displayed in disorder. Fragrance and flavor can be indicated in descending order of domination as "fragrance" and "flavor". -- This is often the list that we see on international websites and packaging.

The rules apply in the EU: in descending order of weight, except for ingredients below 1%. -- This is the list that can be found on European packaging.
