New Retail Platform From Landing International, a B2B Global Retail Partner, Brings Breakthrough Korean Brands to North America
LOS ANGELES, July 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- K-Beauty World, a first-of-its-kind retail platform dedicated to the discovery of K-Beauty brands powered by established retail partner, Landing International, announces today their debut nationwide at Ulta Beauty stores. Curated by esteemed entrepreneur, Sarah Chung Park, the movement will start with bringing eight of Korea's most exciting beauty brands to consumers both in-store and online.
Created as a destination for U.S. consumers to access authentic Korean beauty, K-Beauty World is the first large-scale retail concept with shoppable destinations and immersive activations. With an offering of over 200 products across skincare and color cosmetics, K-Beauty World ensures consumers are discovering not just what's trending, but a collection of heritage products and treatments with innovative ingredients, sensorial textures, and evidence-driven results.
"We are excited to partner with K-Beauty World to meet the rapidly growing U.S. demand for accessibility in Korean beauty innovation," said Kaitlin Rinehart, Vice President of Merchandising, Ulta Beauty. "This exclusive partnership brings time-honored, high-performing products, that have been long trusted by Korean consumers, to a broader audience, making it easier than ever for beauty lovers across the country to experience the power of K-Beauty. While we have offered many K-Beauty brands within our skincare assortment for some time now, we are thrilled to enter this next phase of growth and expansion with even more brands to discover across categories and price points. From effective ingredients to forward-thinking trends and packaging distribution, we can't wait for new and existing Ulta Beauty guests across all age groups to experience the curated assortment of K-Beauty World brands that will be available to shop in our stores and on Ulta.com this summer."
To introduce K-Beauty World to U.S. consumers, the brand launched K-Beauty Mart, a traveling immersive pop-up modeled after Korea's beloved convenience stores. The viral activation has appeared at Westfield Century City in LA, South by Southwest, RevolveFest during Coachella, and Bryant Park in NYC, with the next stop set for Lollapalooza in Chicago this July and more to come later this year. Designed as a beauty playground, K-Beauty Mart includes interactive displays, live product demos, and exclusive early access to Korean beauty's next wave of products.
"K-Beauty World is about more than just what's new from Korea – it's about what's next in beauty for all ages, tones, and budgets," says Sarah Chung Park, creator of K-Beauty World and the strategic architect behind the platform. "Ulta Beauty, with its unparalleled reach, commitment to inclusivity, and passion for innovation, is the perfect partner to bring this vision to life.
