Épisode 268 : Spécial NRF APAC 26 : L'Asie déploie l'IA, Olive Young attaque les États-Unis et les marketplaces pourraient gagner la bataille des agentsDepuis Singapour, premier débrief de NRF APAC 2026, le plus grand événement retail de la région Asie-Pacifique.Après une première journée de conférences, un constat s'impose : en Asie, l'IA n'est plus un sujet d'expérimentation. Les retailers parlent déjà d'intégration, de gouvernance, de qualité de données et de passage à l'échelle.Au programme : Agentic Commerce, omnicanal, marketplaces, IA en magasin, quick commerce, influenceurs virtuels et K-Beauty. Avec un fil rouge qui revient partout : sans données unifiées, sans supply chain intégrée et sans exécution solide, il n'y aura pas d'IA performante.Mais aussi :Woolworths explique pourquoi les marketplaces pourraient être les grandes gagnantes de l'Agentic CommerceFairPrice partage ses retours terrain sur ses 9 projets IA et son framework DMI (Data, Models, Integration)Olive Young ouvre son premier magasin américain et exporte la K-Beauty comme phénomène culturel mondialLa Chine continue d'influencer toute l'Asie sur le live commerce, le quick commerce et les influenceurs virtuelsDFI Retail Group place désormais la cybersécurité au cœur de la stratégie retailPass Pass le Mic : Annabelle Serres, Directrice de NRF EuropeÀ quelques mois de NRF Europe à Paris, Annabelle Serres revient sur le développement international de la NRF et partage sa vision de l'évolution du commerce mondial.

In this episode of Commerce Untold, host Eitan Koter sits down with Carol Shih, founder of Qode Space, a boutique Shopify agency, and Doraemi, a cross-border consultancy helping international brands enter and grow in the US market.Carol has a background that spans LVMH, Alibaba, and years of working with fashion and beauty brands across multiple continents. She brings a direct, no-nonsense perspective to what it actually takes to succeed in cross-border e-commerce.They get into why so many international brands, including some doing billions in Asia, struggle the moment they try to enter the US. Carol explains that the product is rarely the problem. It usually comes down to self-awareness: knowing your weaknesses before you start spending.The conversation covers what a proper Shopify audit looks like, why pouring money into traffic before your store is ready is one of the most common and expensive mistakes brands make, and how to think about brand positioning before touching paid ads or picking a sales channel.They also talk about the shift toward AI search and what brands need to do now to stay discoverable, why TikTok Shop has changed the beauty category faster than most brands expected, and how Gen Alpha is about to reshape shopping behavior in ways most businesses are not prepared for.Carol also shares how she leads her two businesses, why transparency and community sit at the core of her team culture, and why her ideal clients are usually brands that have already made the expensive mistakes.If you are thinking about cross-border e-commerce, expanding into the US market, or trying to get more out of your Shopify store, this episode is worth your full attention.Website: https://www.vimmi.netEmail us: info@vimmi.netPodcast website: https://vimmi.net/commerce-untold/Eitan Koter's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eitankoter/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@VimmiVideoCommerce/featuredGuest: Carol Shih, Founder, Qode Space and DoraemiCarol Shih's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shihcarol/Qode Space: https://qodespace.com/Watch the full Youtube video here:https://youtu.be/ptO--lEfDegTakeaways:Self-awareness is the most overlooked step in cross-border e-commerce expansionDominating your home market does not mean you will succeed in the USA slow, buggy website with spelling errors destroys trust before a sale can happenAmazon drives volume but builds no brand loyalty or long-term competitive edgeShopify store performance must be audited before investing in paid trafficAI search (GEO) is the next layer brands need to prepare for alongside SEOTikTok Shop has already surpassed Sephora in beauty salesGen Alpha will reshape shopping behavior within the next four yearsGreat teams are built on transparency, community and psychological safetyThe best clients to work with are the ones who already understand where they failedChapters:[00:00] Introduction: Meet Carol Shih[01:05] From Taiwan to Australia to the US: The Third-Culture Founder[02:30] Biggest Mistakes Brands Make When Going Global[04:31] The Self-Awareness Problem: You Can't Fix What You Won't See[05:58] What Cross-Border Consulting Actually Looks Like in Practice[07:57] Founder-Led Content and Building Long-Term Authority[09:38] Lessons from Alibaba: Speed, Competition and Work Culture[12:26] The Shopify Audit Process: How to Build a High-Converting Store[14:36] AI in E-Commerce: What Is Real Right Now[16:40] AI Search, GEO and the Click-Less Future[18:04] Go-to-Market for International Brands: Amazon vs TikTok vs DTC[22:10] Beauty, Fashion and Lifestyle: Why Carol Keeps Landing Here[23:46] K-Beauty, Gen Z and the TikTokification of Shopping[25:18] Gen Alpha Will Change Everything: Here Is What to Watch[27:10] Leadership, Team Building and Running Two Companies[30:46] Leading With Transparency as a Founder and a Parent[32:01] Carol's Ideal Client: Brands That Have Already Failed[34:05] Where to Find Carol Shih

What is PDRN? You've probably seen the four letters on serum bottles, sheet masks and even lip balms — or heard them on TikTok. PDRN stands for polydeoxyribonucleotide and typically refers to a DNA fragment that's often, but not always, derived from salmon sperm and most commonly found in K-Beauty. Of course, on social media, PDRN has an obvious shock value to it, which has led to an onslaught of posts in which lines like, "I just got salmon sperm injected into my face," provide perfect hooks to start videos. In this week's episode of the Glossy Beauty Podcast, co-host Sara Spruch-Feiner explores what PDRN is, what it purports to do for the skin, how it got so popular and how it is expanding beyond Korean beauty. To explore the topic, Spruch-Feiner speaks with New York City-based dermatologist Dr. David Kim; the former editor-in-chief of Allure magazine and fractional CMO for K-Beauty distributor Landing International, Michelle Lee; and the founder of Rodial, Maria Hatzistefanis.
We are reviewing five popular K-Beauty products to see if they actually live up to the hype. We break down the science behind different PDRN sources, explore the "50 peptides" marketing claims, and analyze clinical data to separate realistic skin improvements from clever lighting tricks. You will learn how these products perform on different skin types—from "sticky and drying" textures to clinical-grade results—so you can decide which formulas are worth your routine and which are just "science-flavored" fillers.

In episode 153 of the Glow Journal podcast, host Gemma Dimond talks to BORNTOSTANDOUT founder Jun Lim in another Australian podcast exclusive.BORNTOSTANDOUT is unquestionably one of the most interesting, and in my opinion industry-defining, brands in not just the fragrance space, but the beauty sphere at large right now. What's so fascinating to me about BTSO is that it's built on this idea of rebellion, but the brand is based in South Korea. Now you hear Korea and you think “Well, that makes sense, it's the global capital of beauty innovation,” but as Jun puts it- “Korea is simultaneously one of the most innovative beauty markets in the world, but also the most conformist in terms of taste.” He explained to me that K Beauty is, at its core, built on the idea of perfecting a standard, not breaking one. That in mind, I had a lot of questions for Jun about how he's gone about launching into a relatively conservative market, given so much of the brand's iconography is tied to sex, to excess, to gluttony- it's super sexy, which to me feels really natural, but evidently this is a brand that was never formed with solely its local market in mind. In this conversation, Jun shares how he's managed to expand the brand to over 75 countries without diluting its DNA, why he believes specificity is what creates resonance, and how he keeps creating perfumes when he only has so many love stories to tell…Read more at glowjournal.comFollow BTSO on Instagram @borntostandout.officialStay up to date with Gemma on Instagram at @gemdimond and @glow.journal, or get in touch at hello@gemkwatts.com Hosted on Acast.

When you’ve spent 25 years painting the faces of Gisele Bündchen, Miranda Kerr, and Sofia Richie, you learn a thing or two about what makeup products are worth the hype. This week on The Formula, renowned makeup artist Michael Brown joins Kelly to peel back the curtain on his iconic pro kit.

Plus, we tackle the ultimate Australian beauty dilemma: how to keep your hair and makeup from melting when it’s 95% humidity. Michael shares the exact "barrier" method he uses to prep celeb skin and the "Dream" hair product that kept JLo’s hair perfect during the Super Bowl.

Have you ever seen a video online that made you feel like you were failing at a job you didn't even apply for? Welcome to parenting in 2026. This week, Monique Bowley, Stacey Hicks and special guest, Clare Stephens, are diving into a viral trend romanticising the bond between young siblings—and it's left some only-child parents feeling a little judged. Plus, we discuss the basketball coach who went viral for screaming in a player's face. Was it ‘toxic’ or exactly the kind of high-stakes motivation our ‘gentle parenting’ era is missing? And, if your child throws a tantrum in the middle of a busy shopping centre or sticks their fingers in someone else's birthday cake, they may have a fan in award-winning actress Viola Davis. We explain why. Our Recommendations:

Down to Business English: Business News to Improve your Business English
South Korea's cosmetics industry has become a major global force. In 2024, South Korea ranked as the world's second-largest exporter of beauty products, ahead of the United States and behind only France. In this episode, we look at how K-beauty has grown alongside the global rise of Korean popular culture — a phenomenon known as ‘Hallyu', or the ‘Korean Wave'. In this episode of Down to Business English, Skip Montreux and Dez Morgan get Down to Business with the rise of South Korea's K-beauty industry. They begin by explaining the meaning of ‘Hallyu' and how the worldwide popularity of Korean dramas, K-pop, and film helped create a wider global interest in Korean brands and lifestyle trends.

K-Beauty gilt aktuell als eines der prägendsten Trendthemen der Beauty-Branche und Korea zählt zu den innovationsstärksten Märkten in Forschung und Produktentwicklung. In dieser Kassenzone-Folge spricht Karo mit Yepoda Co-Gründerin Veronika Strotmann darüber, wie aus Souvenir-Käufen auf Familienreisen ein etabliertes K-Beauty-Startup in Europa wurde. Veronika erklärt den fundamentalen Unterschied zur reaktiven westlichen Pflege und verrät, wie Yepoda asiatische State-of-the-Art-Forschung clever mit europäischen Werten wie Clean Beauty vereint. Natürlich geht es auch um die strategischen Wachstums-Hacks: Wie skaliert man profitabel auf Millionenumsätze? Wie gelingt der Sprung vom reinen D2C-Player in die hart umkämpften Regale von Sephora? Und warum setzt Yepoda auf eigene Erlebnis-Stores in Mailand, statt sich im Marketing nur noch auf Influencer und Dauerrabatte zu verlassen? Das Gespräch im Überblick: (3:41) K-Beauty erklärt & Yepodas Gründungsgeschichte (6:05) Markenstrategie, Innovationen & das Sortiment (10:18) Wachstum, internationale Expansion & Offline-Retail-Strategie (20:06) Zukunftsvisionen, Erschließung neuer Märkte & Influencer-Marketing (27:04) Kundenbindung & Zukunftsausblick Podcast-Host – Karo Junker de Neui: https://www.linkedin.com/in/karojunker https://etribes.de/ Newsletter: https://www.kassenzone.de/newsletter/ Community: https://kassenzone.de/discord Disclaimer: https://www.kassenzone.de/disclaimer/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/KassenzoneDe/ Blog: https://www.kassenzone.de/ Kassenzone” wird vermarktet von Podstars by OMR.

You might have seen the social media buzz over Korean beauty products, also known as K-Beauty. It remains a booming industry — South Korea exported a record $11 billion in cosmetics in 2025.Now, K-Beauty has a new hub in San Diego: the skincare store Seoul Glow Lab.Wednesday on Midday Edition, we sit down with the founder of Seoul Glow Lab and one of its estheticians to talk about the boom in Korean beauty, along with the community and education building around it locally.Guests:Katie Hernandez, founder, Seoul Glow LabSabrina Kim, esthetician, Seoul Glow Lab, founder, Soul Care Standard
In this episode I sit down with renowned holistic facialist and dermal therapist April Brodie, fresh from her deep plane facelift in Seoul, to talk about what really sits behind the global obsession with K Beauty. We compare our recent trips to South Korea, from elite multi level clinics with corridors full of devices, to the chaos and delight of Olive Young and the clinical world of Korea Derma and regenerative medicine. April shares the story behind her signature Korean inspired facial, why technique can rival technology, and what she learnt from her own surgical journey. We talk Rejuran and salmon DNA biostimulation, the difference between PDRN in skincare and injectable DOT technology, why “glass skin” is a fantasy, and the categories that Koreans are quietly leading in, from scalp care to intimate care, sun care and beauty tools. There is also a healthy dose of reality about consent, safety, cultural expectations and what Australian women need to consider before chasing Korean level transformation. This is a candid, nuanced and very practical conversation about K Beauty, ageing, and how to edit all that innovation into a routine and treatment path that actually serves your skin. Highlights How a single buccal facial in London turned April from laser heavy protocols to hands on sculpting techniques. The story behind her Korean influenced facial that uses bone therapy principles, Eastern European methods and Korean cleansing rituals. What we both observed inside ultra elite Korean clinics, from the sheer number of devices to the culture of sedation and intensive treatment stacking. The difference between Rejuran’s salmon DNA DOT technology and PDRN in topical skincare, and why that distinction matters. How to shop K Beauty in Olive Young without destroying your barrier or being distracted by trends. The categories where Korea is genuinely ahead, including sunscreens, scalp care, breath care, intimate care and tools. Why “glass skin” is a Western marketing idea, not a Korean standard, and how chasing it can damage both barrier and self esteem. A realistic, edited K Beauty inspired routine for busy women who want results without a ten step ritual.

James and Robert are known for their obsession with K-Beauty! On this episode of The Double Cleanse, the twins are diving into everything that K-beauty is getting right – and why they're worried that Western influence might ruin it. To the expertly crafted brand philosophies, to the product innovations that are genius, James and Robert are highlighting just why K-beauty is so addictive. But, they're also not holding back: calling out the brands that are starting to pander to Western audiences and TikTok trends instead of sticking to what they do best. From celebrity endorsements like “Kylie Jenner's top picks” and why Cardi B promoting a cream feels so out of place in this space, the twins are spilling all about the things that they think K-beauty needs to STOP doing in an attempt to become Westernised. Along the way, they share their genuine K-beauty favourites, from Charlotte Tilbury's plumping lip balm (yes, it's technically Western but bear with them) to the incredible variety of makeup sponges available at Olive Young that will change your entire application game. The message is clear: K-beauty does everything right – the marketing, the imagery, the products – so please don't mess with perfection!

The real K-Beauty philosophy has less to do with 12 steps and more to do with how you treat your skin every day.Korean skincare routines often get labeled as complicated, yet Elle Choi Son reframes it as disciplined consistency rooted in culture. Skincare in her world starts early and centers on hydration, layering, and protecting the skin barrier. Healthy skin is the baseline. Everything else builds on that. From winning Miss Korea Washington at 18 to carving out a niche as a Korean American makeup artist, Elle learned early that great makeup begins long before foundation ever touches your face.Amy and Elle cut through the noise of viral trends and overflowing bathroom shelves with a return to basics: cleanser, toner, moisturizer, sunscreen. Build the habit first. Then explore Korean beauty products with intention, whether that means testing some of the best Korean skincare brands or trying newer categories like PDRN skincare. They also talk honestly about trend-driven products such as at-home micro-needling formulas and why more product does not equal better results. The takeaway is calm and practical. Let skincare absorb before applying makeup. Protect your barrier. Keep it simple when life gets busy. Glowing skin rarely comes from one miracle product, instead, it comes from consistent care you can sustain.Episode Breakdown:00:00 K-Beauty 101: Why Korean Skincare Is Different04:13 The Korean Skincare Routine Philosophy and Cultural Roots09:37 K-Beauty for Beginners: The Essential Starter Routine11:34 Elle's Real-Life Korean Skincare Routine and Favorite Products23:19 Skincare Ingredients Explained: PDRN, Actives, and What to Avoid26:12 Viral K-Beauty Trends and Influencer Myths34:26 Five-Minute Makeup Routine That Starts With SkincareConnect with Elle Choi Son:Follow Elle on InstagramFollow Elle on TikTokShop this episode: You know we love to give you the best of the best in wellness products and resources to help you learn more about our podcast topics.

This podcast episode of Future Shop features WSL's Wendy Liebmann and Elia Auchane as they recap their recent trip to Cosmoprof North America in Miami. Together, they explore the shifting landscape of the beauty industry, questioning if the sector is “tapped out” while identifying the viral trends, from K-Beauty to Middle Eastern fragrances, that are currently dominating the global market. Through the lens of retail curation and the “toyification” of beauty, they break down how social media and community building have replaced traditional marketing as the primary engines of growth. Episode Highlights The Clash of Worlds: Why the “sleepy,” clinical minimalism of K-Beauty and the “glossy,” over-the-top opulence of Middle Eastern fragrances dominated the show floor. The TikTok Feed Come to Life: How trade shows have evolved into live content sets for influencers and social media brands. Fragrance Wardrobing: The shift from having a “signature scent” to collecting affordable, viral fragrances based on mood.Retail as Curator: Why small-footprint, discovery-focused environments like airport shops are becoming the gold standard for beauty retail.Beyond the Desk: The importance of Retail Safaris® and physical immersion to understand where the competition is actually spending.Send a textVisit our website for transcripts, links mentioned on this episodes, and video podcasts.

Lauren shares the worst K-Beauty products and formats she personally tried in 2025 and explains why they failed in real-world use. This episode is a follow-through from the previous discussion on K-Beauty marketing trends that need to die in 2026, focusing on how hype, sensation and viral appeal often break down when products meet real skin. For full show notes and resources, visit STYLE STORY This episode covers: The positioning of grinding cleansing balms on social media versus actual use Cheilitis (inflammation of the lips) being linked to one of Korea (and Lauren’s) most beloved lip tints Why “mineral” sunscreen marketing can be misleading and why it matters for those with sensitive skin and conditions like rosacea How K-Beauty marketing increasingly rewards spectacle and sensation over routine-friendly design Lauren also explains why these experiences are not isolated product failures, but oftentimes symptoms of a broader K-Beauty marketing problem. In the last few years a lot of products have been optimised for novelty, texture shots and performance on short form social media rather than optimised for daily use. This episode is not about shaming brands or people who might love the products but about understanding how skincare claims, formats and ingredient choices interact with real skin biology.

We talk about why this is a smart “trust + awareness” play for Olive Young as it opens in L.A., what this means for existing K-Beauty brands already at Sephora, and which brands might get the merchandiser boot.

K-Beauty marketing reached a breaking point in 2025. Scientific language became performance, clinical procedures were mimicked with cosmetics and skincare education was replaced by spectacle. In Episode 275 of The Korean Beauty Show podcast, K-Beauty expert and industry consultant Lauren Lee examines the K-Beauty marketing trends that need to die in 2026 and why they matter for consumer trust, regulation and skin health. This episode covers: How exosome skincare lost its scientific meaning and why Korean regulators intervened Why topical PDRN marketing blurred the line between cosmetics and injectable treatments The ongoing misuse of spicules marketed as “microneedling in a bottle” How oversized skincare PR stunts promote overconsumption and environmental waste Why skincare theatre and viral gimmicks undermine skincare education and credibility Lauren also explains how misleading skincare marketing creates regulatory risk, confuses consumers and has the potential to damage long-term trust in the Korean beauty industry.

Episode 467 | The Art of Mentorship & The Philosophy of K-BeautyIn this episode, Susy and Barbara get real about the highs and lows of the grooming life—from surviving Northwest floods and "fish pond nightmares" to the emotional toll of losing a beloved pet. But the heart of today's show is all about growth. First, we explore the essential traits of a great grooming mentor. Are you rushing in to fix mistakes before they happen? We discuss why "living in the mistake" is a vital part of the learning process, how to provide non-judgmental feedback, and why being an available, skilled guide is better than being a "famous" influencer.Then, Barbara takes us into the classroom to break down K-Beauty (Korean Beauty) philosophy. It's not just about ingredients; it's a mindset of nurturing the skin barrier rather than just fixing problems. Learn why hydration, ceramides, and a "gentle, layered" approach might be the future of your grooming tub.Inside this episode: Mentorship Mindset: Why patience is your greatest tool. The "Half-Dog" Method: A practical way to teach styling. K-Beauty vs. Western Dermatology: Shifting from "fixing" to "nurturing" skin. The Skin Barrier: Why Barbara is moving toward a K-Beauty approach for pets. Special thanks to our sponsors: Best Shot, Show Season, Precision Sharp, and Groomore software.

Sometimes I wish I could just have the intro paragraph to an episode be GAAHHHHHHH THIS ONE WAS SO FUN! So this is my version of that: telling you that I wish it could be that, and then also telling you that we go deep on so many components of the global spread (and embrace) of Korean pop culture. We go into the calculated political elements, the uncanny elision of North Korean stories, and why so many of the Korean narratives resonating with American audiences are ones crafted by Korean-Americans. This is a really effusive and loving episode that also manages to have some very real talk about why kids dressing up as characters from K-Pop Demon Hunters is not yellow face. IT'S SO GOOD, and I know we're gonna have a great discussion about it. ALSO GUESS WHAT, WE HAVE VERY GOOD EPISODES TRANSCRIPTS NOW!

Snail mucin, "glass" or "mochi" skin, BB creams, face masks galore... if you are even remotely interested in makeup and skincare, you've probably noticed the rising influence (bordering on takeover) of Korean beauty in America. Emphasizing skin care and a more "demure" look, Korean beauty products have gone mainstream in the US and are everywhere now from Sephora to Walmart. What's behind the rise of K-beauty products in the US? Do these products even work? What are the beauty standards that underpin them? What about the more invasive beauty procedures (like plastic surgery) that Korea has also become known for? As Asian-Americans (including one resident Korean-American, one makeup and skincare connoisseur, and one professed "cavewoman" skincare adherent :) we've got the exclusive cross-cultural breakdown for you in this fun and honest look at the K-beauty phenomenon in America.
Your current dry shampoo is officially cancelled! This week, Cass joins Kelly to reveal the products making a huge difference to their routines. Cass kicks off with a luxury dry shampoo that's invisible, smells incredible, and secretly promotes hair growth—the low-effort hair secret you need!

In this episode of Skin Anarchy, host Dr. Ekta sits down with Sarah Chung Park—CEO of Landing International and the visionary behind K-Beauty World—for a behind-the-scenes look at how K-beauty is evolving from trend to global benchmark. What began as quirky packaging and novelty ingredients has matured into an innovation-driven category focused on real efficacy, formulation transparency, and cultural inclusivity. Sarah shares how she went from building a matchmaking platform for emerging beauty brands to launching over 180 K-beauty lines into U.S. retail—and how that journey reshaped her understanding of skin, culture, and global beauty standards.K-Beauty World has launchd at Ulta Beauty, a curated ecosystem that blends education, community, and inclusive storytelling. From pushing Korean brands to expand shade ranges for Western consumers to reframing the conversation around “glass skin,” Sarah is raising the bar for what modern beauty should look like—accessible, results-driven, and deeply human. She also touches on how today's ingredient-literate consumers are demanding more from formulations, and why K-beauty's pipeline of skin science is driving a broader industry shift.This episode offers more than a look into a beauty category—it's a conversation about raising standards, bridging cultures, and reimagining what skincare can be when powered by empathy and innovation.Tune in to hear how Sarah Chung Park is redefining the future of beauty—one brand, one shade, and one thoughtful launch at a time.To learn more about Sarah Chung Park visit her website and social media.
