LAPCOS
Beauty is an Inside Job. Born in Korea, Evolved in Los Angeles.
A K-beauty favorite known for their high performance, cruelty-free sheet masks, skin care, body care and hair care. Sheet Masks start at $4 and are available at a variety of retailers such as LapcosUSA.com, Amazon, Anthropologie, Revolve and more!
We believe that the best skin, body and hair formulas are key to achieving everyday health & wellness, but ultimately, beauty is an inside job. The only thing better than looking good is feeling good, and when you give to others (especially those most in need), you never have to choose between the two.
Social responsibility is a part of their DNA which is why they created LAPCause.
During 2020, they partnered with organizations like Downtown Women’s Center, Black Women’s Health Imperative, Dress For Success. See all the causes they support.
Cruelty-free
Formula-first brand

Mono B
Female-led brand, designed in Los Angeles.
Mono B is designed for high-intensity activities or for relaxing on the couch.
The collection ranges from $19 - $49 and includes sports bras, tops, leggings, jackets and more!
We design our apparel with balance + inclusivity in mind. We balance fashion with function and quality with cost. We believe that moving your body and having a balanced lifestyle is a necessity and not a luxury. Find your balance with us and discover our world of athleisure.
Mono B was founded and powered by immigrants. They believe in the value of different ideas and opinions. Diversity is a strength, not a setback.
Sustainability
Sustainability and fast fashion don't go hand-in-hand. To put it simply: fashion pollutes and fast fashion pollutes, well... faster.
Some of our items were constructed using either 100% recycled polyester or 100% recycled nylon (and woven with an elastic fiber such as spandex or Lycra).
We've sourced our 100% recycled polyester from one of the few companies in the world able to infinitely recycle polyester fiber without causing the loss of quality by using ECO-CIRCLE™ technology.
Our 100% recycled nylon fibers save energy up to 8.5% and water up to 84%, whilst reducing up to 77% of CO2 emission.
