Herbeast

Herbeast is a sustainable skin care and lifestyle brand based in China, backed by Lightspeed Venture Partners. The company explores the application of Chinese herbal essence to the skin, grounding its formulations in the concepts and technical principles of biomedicine. Founded and led by CEO Yisa He with Chief Scientist and co-founder Yanjing Bai, Herbeast operates as a consumer skin care and lifestyle products brand rather than an API-first technology provider. As of this enrichment pass it publishes no public developer portal, API documentation, or machine-readable API surface; its only observed web property (herbeast.com) resolves to a deactivated Shopify storefront. It is retained in the API Evangelist network as a Lightspeed portfolio identity record, not as an active API producer.

Herbeast is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Skin Care, Cosmetics, Consumer, and Lifestyle.
