A former concert pianist turned beauty entrepreneur, Angela Jia Kim founded Savor Beauty after experiencing an adverse reaction to a “natural” cream before a performance. Drawing from her Korean heritage’s beauty rituals, she began crafting organic, plant-based formulas in her kitchen, emphasizing layered hydration and nutrient-rich botanicals. This personal project blossomed into Savor Beauty, now encompassing two acclaimed New York City facial spas, a sustainable skincare line handcrafted in the Hudson Valley, and a partnership with the Omega Wellness Center in Rhinebeck.
Beyond her role as founder, Kim is an accomplished author of Radical Radiance: 12 Weeks of Self Love Rituals to Manifest Abundance, Beauty, and Joy, and the bestselling Savor Beauty Self-Care Planner, sharing her expertise in business success and self-care rituals. Her brand embodies a holistic approach to beauty that marries Korean skincare traditions with environmental consciousness, featuring toxin-free formulations and minimalist, recyclable packaging.
