FALL IN LOVE with products that keep their promises. I had begun to believe I would have to choose between searching forever and settling for less. One can only endure so many disappointments before giving up hope. I never thought I’d find you. But here you are. I can finally stop looking and focus on the here and now. I can
relax knowing that what you promise, you’ll provide. Being with you has become a necessity and I welcome the opportunity to spend time with you. Each minute I’m in your presence is a moment of pure bliss. I’m in love and I’m not going anywhere without you.

AMARTE IS A TRUE LOVE STORY While visiting Spain to present research at
Craig Kraffert, biochemist and board certified
optimizing these extraordinary products to
the 1992 Spanish Dermatology Congress, Dr.
dermatologist, attended the World Expo in Seville where he met his future wife, MiSook. She was Korean, she was lovely, and he was smitten. A
love at first sight romance began, and continues to flourish today.
Dr. Kraffert’s appreciation for Korean culture,
its graceful people and their remarkable aptitude for scientific innovation led to his discovery of Amarte. As a scientist, skin care expert, and
entrepreneur, he realized that although Amarte
was not well known, it had promise. Why? Amarte was incredibly different from all the other skin care products he had ever tried.
Dr. Kraffert formed an international Korean
and American team dedicated to refining and
exceed the expectations of quality skin care lovers around the world. Under Dr. Kraffert’s direction, Amarte has set a new standard for innovative, quality skin care products that promote the wellness and natural beauty of your skin.
Amarte skin care is more than a fusion of
Korean skin care technology and philosophy
with American cosmetic dermatology. Amarte is about blending two cultures and two hearts. It’s
about beauty and science intertwining. It’s about elevating your skin care ritual by connecting you with something incredibly different.
And it’s all done in the name of love.
