Our take
Over the last few years the Western world has become pretty taken with Korean film & TV, pop music, and “K-Beauty”. Thanks to brands like Dr.Jart+, Peach & Lily, and Soko Glam, Korean beauty products are now accessible and budget friendly in western markets.
Soko Glam launched back in 2012 in what was then a fairly cold market, but as the popularity of K-Beauty really took hold, the company was well positioned to grow in tandem. Indeed, co-founder Charlotte Cho is now partly credited with making the 10-step skin care routine as popular as it is today.
Now, it’s one of the most high-profile e-commerce companies in its niche, growing impressively with a small team and relatively little funding. While its position in the US is pretty secure, it’ll be interesting to see how Soko Glam performs on the international market as more local brands emerge in the space.
