The beauty mecca has sold South Korean beauty products for years, introducing the Western world to brands like Laneige, Dr. Jart+, and Glow Recipe.

It's no surprise that more and more K-beauty brands are landing on Sephora's shelves, and now, it's added Innisfree, a company that uses natural ingredients from South Korea's Jeju Island.
