U Beauty Chinese Zodiacs
The ancient Chinese Zodiac dates back over 2000 years. Complete with 12 animals, your zodiac animal is determined by your birth year. Each animal represents a single year—the cycle resets every 12 years. 2024 rings in the Year of the Dragon (So, the last Year of the Dragon was 2012).
Pro-Tip
The Chinese zodiac year officially starts on Lunar New Year—the exact date fluctuates year to year, but typically falls late January to mid-February. So, if you were born before your year's Lunar New Year, you might actually be the sign of the previous year.
Order Matters
Legend says the Jade Emperor, the first emperor of China and the supreme ruler of heaven and earth, chose to divide up time in cycles of twelve years—with each year named after an animal. Twelve species arrived to compete in a river race, and their placement in the race would determine the order of time. Without further ado, here are the animals (in order):
Rat: Resurfacing Compound
1924, 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008, 2020
Witty and beguiling, the Rat infamously won on the Emperor’s Race by riding on the Ox, then jumping off his back to cross the finish line first. Still, first place merits our first launch and original sellout: the Resurfacing Compound. Rivaling your charm and complexity, the innovative Resurfacing Compound outsmarts other serums on the market, effectively replacing up to eight products in one.
Ox: The BARRIER Bioactive Treatment
1913, 1925, 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009, 2021
Placing in second, the ever-determined Ox is a symbol of strength and stability. So, it’s only fitting your go-to is The BARRIER, a restorative overnight cream equipped with the power to reveal stronger, healthier-looking skin. “Slow and steady wins the race” is the Ox’s mantra. True. With consistent use, The BARRIER delivers undeniable results, like baby-soft skin in the morning. Skeptical? Like the stubborn Ox, The BARRIER loves to prove you wrong.
Tiger: Multimodal Defender Broad Spectrum SPF 30
1914, 1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010, 2022
Magnetic and exuberant, the ever-confident Tiger loves (and commands) attention. Celebrated as the “King of the Animals” in China, you’re no docile indoor kitty. With an affinity for the spotlight, you need a sunscreen that can keep up. Enter the Multimodal Defender SPF 30—an innovative sun treatment with built-in skin brightening benefits. Because no ordinary sunscreen will do for the Tiger.

Dragon: The PLASMA Lip Compound in Shanghai
1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012, 2024
