Mamonde Partners Exclusively with Nykaa to Enter Indian Market

Mamonde, a beauty brand under Amorepacific, is set to launch an exclusive partnership with Nykaa, India's largest beauty and lifestyle platform, commencing in August. This strategic entry into the Indian market marks a significant step for Mamonde in expanding its local presence.

Nykaa, a leading beauty e-commerce platform in India, hosts both global and major local brands, making it an essential distribution channel in the beauty sector. Mamonde plans to offer ten products exclusively on Nykaa, primarily focusing on its 'Rose HA' and 'Peony BHA' lines, aiming to enhance brand recognition and engagement with Indian consumers.

With a growing interest in skincare and K-beauty in India, Mamonde is specifically targeting the Gen Z and millennial demographics by introducing high-performance skincare products at reasonable prices. This approach is designed to increase accessibility in a market primarily characterized by premium K-beauty brands, thereby attracting a broader consumer base.

The products being introduced in India are formulated to address local climatic and skin concerns. Mamonde's research has identified key skin issues faced by consumers, such as moisture deficiency, excess sebum, and pore management, in relation to India’s strong UV radiation, high temperatures, and seasonal humidity fluctuations.

The 'Rose HA' line is formulated with Damask rose extract and five types of hyaluronic acid with varying molecular sizes, aimed at providing hydration for smoother, more radiant skin. The 'Peony BHA' line incorporates peony extract and BHA to help manage pores and excess oil, contributing to firmer skin.

A representative from Mamonde stated, "India is one of the key global markets with high growth potential. We aim to introduce products that consider local consumer skin concerns and climate conditions at reasonable prices, making K-beauty experiences accessible to a wider audience." They further emphasized the brand's commitment, stating, "Based on 30 years of vetted flower research and skincare technology, we will offer differentiated products and brand experiences to Indian consumers."
