About Us

Prano is here to make caring for your skin easy. If you already have a skincare routine or just started learning about it, we want to make it easy to know what your skin needs.

Shop by Skin Need

Each of us has individual skin needs. Our skin can dry out at the beach, be damaged by the sun or naturally lose elasticity as we age causing fine lines, wrinkles or ashy skin. Whatever your skin needs, we have a section in our website to help you shop by skin need rather than just product type. If your skin need isn’t there let us know and we’ll add it!

Our Selection Process

We select products to stock based on our personal experience and understanding of skincare through our extensive review of available studies and skincare resources. We source products from South Korea who are known for the quality of their skin care products. We hope that you can trust our rigorous selection process to make your buying decision easier.

Simplifying Your Routine

Problems with our skin can make us less confident or feel older than we actually are. We believe that even a minimal skincare routine can have a massive impact on how we look and how we feel. Also, simplifying your skincare routine can make it easy to do even when busy with everything else going on in our lives.

We have an article breaking down the simplest skincare routine possible here:

About the Founder

I first had the idea of starting Prano Cosmetics in late 2022 after a holiday in South Korea. Inspired by the quality and variety of skincare products available in South Korea I decided to start an online skincare retailer back in New Zealand.

During market research I noticed a problem, I felt that buying skincare had become too complicated. To me, it feels like there are too many products and product categories with confusing names made from a wide range of ingredients.

It is hard to figure out which products to use and how to use them and whether they will actually improve your skin health. That’s why I decided the mission of Prano is to make skincare simple. I wanted to choose products I know are good quality and provide information on skincare to help customers make the right choice for their skin.
