Missha
MISSHA has an unusual origin story: in 2000, it started not as a traditional cosmetic brand, but as Beautynet, a Korean online beauty platform. It was one of the very first D2C (direct-to-consumer) Korean brands, years before this model became the norm.
The leap to physical stores came soon after, bringing with it growth that has led MISSHA to have over 32,000 points of sale worldwide and approximately 10 million loyal customers today. It's a large brand, but with a formulation approach that resembles specialized laboratories.
The brand is part of Able C&C Co. Ltd. and in 2018, it renewed its identity with the SIMPLE line, a declaration of essentiality. "Beauty in every moment": beauty is not reserved for special occasions, but is an everyday act of care.
