Genome & Company's Skincare Brand UIQ Expands into North America with Official Amazon Brand Store Launch
SEOUL, South Korea, May 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Genome & Company, a global clinical-stage biotechnology firm, has officially launched its skincare brand UIQ (www.theuiq.com) on Amazon, the largest e-commerce platform in the United States.
UIQ, renowned for its patented skin-derived microbiome ingredients targeting a range of skin concerns, aims to solidify its North American presence by leveraging Amazon's expansive platform and enhancing direct engagement with global consumers.
Through its dedicated Amazon brand store, UIQ now offers signature products including Biome Barrier Cream Mist (100ml) and Biome Barrier Collagen Firming Cleansing Balm (100ml). These hero products—part of the Biome Barrier, Biome Remedy, and Biome C collections—exemplify the brand's commitment to science-backed, targeted skincare solutions. Notably, the Biome Barrier Cream Mist was awarded the Amazon's Choice badge shortly after launch, in recognition of its superior quality, user reviews, and fulfillment performance.
UIQ also reported outstanding performance during its first participation in Amazon's Spring Sale (March 25–31, local time). As of 5:00 PM KST on April 1, sales had surged by approximately 1,900% compared to its average daily revenue—demonstrating significant growth potential in the U.S. market.
Customer feedback on Amazon has been overwhelmingly favorable, underscoring the product's efficacy and consumer appeal. Many reviewers praised the mist for being "glow-boosting without feeling heavy" and expressed enthusiasm for "discovering a K-beauty brand genuinely committed to skin science."
This successful debut is regarded as a strategic milestone in UIQ's global expansion roadmap. To further strengthen connections with international consumers, UIQ recently launched official Instagram and TikTok accounts. With TikTok serving as a highly influential platform among North American Gen Z audiences, the brand plans to roll out influencer-driven campaigns and viral content to amplify product awareness and engagement.
"This Amazon launch marks a significant milestone in UIQ's global expansion and reflects our commitment to integrating advanced biotechnology with high-performance skincare," said a UIQ spokesperson. "With strong product efficacy and a bold marketing strategy, we are aiming to achieve top category rankings during Amazon's Prime Day."

From Kahi to Yless: How KoreaTech CEO is building next wave of K-beauty
Lee Dong-yeol blends tradition, innovation, indie spirit to redefine K-beauty experience When you step into the flagship Yless store nestled in Seoul's historic Bukchon Hanok Village, you're greeted not just by cutting-edge skincare, but by the aroma of freshly baked bread, the hum of live music and the warmth of Korean hospitality. It's a fitting reflection of the brand's ethos: deeply rooted in tradition, yet boldly innovative. At the forefront is Lee Dong-yeol, founder and CEO of KoreaTech, whose vision is reshaping the K-beauty landscape for a new generation of global consumers. From humble beginnings to beauty innovation KoreaTech's story began in 2003 as a distributor of everyday goods. But Lee's fascination with beauty was always simmering beneath the surface. 'In the early 2000s, I was already passionate about cosmetics. I wanted to try my hand in the beauty space and that led me to ReFa, a beauty device,' he recalls. The company's pivot to beauty devices like ReFa Carat and PAO proved prescient, successfully combining technology with personal care for a rapidly growing market. The real breakthrough came in 2020 with the launch of the Kahi brand. 'Meeting customers face-to-face, I realized their biggest concerns were about basic skincare. I wanted to address the frustrations they felt with existing products and create something truly new,' the CEO said. Introduced as a new type of skincare stick known as the 'multi balm,' Kahi became a runaway success, actively expanding into overseas markets in 2023. The brand surpassed $10 million in exports from July 2023 to June 2024. Kahi is now available on global e-commerce platforms such as Amazon and has entered 11 countries, including the United States and Japan. Birth of Yless: Platform with purpose The journey didn't stop there. December 2023 saw the launch of Yless -- a K-beauty platform designed to challenge industry conventions. 'After selling Kahi both domestically and overseas, I saw that indie brands in Korea were getting great responses, but the competition on platforms was fierce. Too much effort went into chasing trends and marketing rather than product development and quality,' Lee said. With Yless, the CEO set out to change that. 'Our goal is to spotlight brands — not just products — and to introduce truly unique, high-quality items that you won't find anywhere else, offered at prices free from inflated markups. I can confidently say Yless delivers department store quality at ultra-affordable prices.' From day one, Yless was conceived as a global platform. Just a week after launching its app in the US and Japan, international orders began pouring in. 'Japan responded most enthusiastically. At Beautyworld Japan in Tokyo, buyers and consumers were amazed — seeing one company showcase 1,500 products was unprecedented.' In North America, especially among Gen Z, Yless tapped into the rising "dupe" trend — high-quality alternatives to luxury products. 'In the US, buying dupes is considered stylish. Our Bluequatica line of body washes and hand creams, inspired by global luxury fragrances, sold out almost immediately,' he said. Product diversity is another core strength. 'For foundation alone, we offer 40 to 50 shades to cater to the world's wide range of skin tones. That level of customization is rare." Beyond beauty: Building K-culture The Yless flagship store is more than a retail space. 'I wanted it to be a place where people could enjoy the atmosphere of a traditional hanok, experience culture and shop for cosmetics all at once,' the CEO said. The store hosts free live music, offers traditional Korean snacks and even organizes kimchi-making events — last October, employees made 3,000 heads of kimchi, with plans to increase that to 5,000 this year. 'It's about sharing and cooperation — the values at the heart of Korean culture and our brand.' Yless also serves as an incubator for indie brands, partnering with fewer than ten carefully selected companies that share its philosophy. 'It's hard to find partners who prioritize quality over quantity. Like a great restaurant that refuses to become a diluted franchise, we're committed to maintaining excellence,' Lee explained. The CEO is candid about the obstacles small brands face in global markets. 'On platforms like Amazon, competition is so intense that advertising fees can eat up 50 percent of revenue. It's almost impossible for small brands to survive.' Yless' solution is to minimize platform fees and let brands focus on quality, not marketing spend. Much of Yless' momentum comes from its close relationships with top-tier manufacturers. 'Our trust with manufacturers like Cosmax and Kolmar was built during the Kahi project. They supported our bold attempts to create products that didn't exist before, focusing on quality over cost,' Lee said. Fragrance, a notoriously difficult element to perfect, is a point of pride. 'The hardest part always came down to 'scent.' We partnered with a 150-year-old French company in Grasse, the world's perfume capital, to develop our dupe fragrances. They even came to Korea and we bonded over homemade meals,' he said. For Lee, Yless is just getting started. 'My goal is to build a company that lasts a hundred years. This isn't just about creating a retail space — it's about laying the foundation for sustainable global growth,' he emphasized. 'If you make a good product and offer it at a fair price, consumers will recognize its value. Even without heavy marketing, word of mouth continues to drive our growth every day.' The Top 100 Global Innovators series spotlights the trailblazers shaping Korea's future across a range of industries — from bold entrepreneurs and tech pioneers to research leaders — whose innovations are making a global impact beyond Korea. More than a celebration of success, the series offers a deeper exploration of the ideas, breakthroughs and strategies driving their achievements. — Ed. hykim@

K-beauty wears US crown — Can it survive tariff test?
A resounding win, but hurdles remain as K-beauty's US lead signals deeper push into mainstream It's now clear that Korean beauty has far outgrown its modest local beginnings. Last year was truly a banner year for the industry, with cosmetics exports surging 20.3 percent to $10.2 billion, ranking third globally behind the US ($11.19 billion) and France ($23.26 billion), according to the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety. Zooming in on US-bound exports last year, Korea's stature continues to rise: The country is not only in the top three in global exports, it ranks first in the world's largest consumer market, eclipsing former leader France. To the top: US breakthrough K-beauty's success formula, rooted in the global K-content wave and lab-based innovation, has worked its magic worldwide, but it's the affordability and e-commerce factors that have propelled K-beauty onto mainstream American shelves. The online retail platform Amazon, unsurprisingly, is the prime stage for K-beauty brands, a gateway essential to nationwide popularity in the US. 'Many leading K-beauty brands have found success entering the US market through Amazon,' noted a Seoul-based cosmetics researcher, adding that their strong sales, fueled by K-beauty's competitive pricing, have only further driven demand. Amazon reported that K-beauty sellers' net sales on its US platform jumped roughly 170 percent on-year last year, with the number of brands climbing to 230, a 1.4-fold increase over the past three years. Success in online sales creates synergies with social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram, where K-beauty builds familiarity and trust with consumers through viral videos. So much so that TikTok's e-commerce channel, TikTok Shop, has become a new space where brands like Medipeel and Anua now hold top spots. Outside the digital realm, Korean beauty has moved into a new phase of visibility, now stocked in major beauty retailers like Sephora and Ulta Beauty, and supermarket chains such as Walmart and Target. Widespread retail contact, however, is not enough to sustain the K-beauty hype if the products fail to deliver on their promised efficacy. 'K-beauty's ascent owes much to its deep understanding of American consumers and its agility in meeting their needs,' explained Kim Ju-duck, professor in the beauty industry department at Sungshin Women's University. 'It has been quick to deliver localized, high-quality products tailored to American preferences and skin types, while putting emphasis on clean formulations that resonate with sustainability-conscious consumers.' Famous examples include TirTir, whose 30-shade cushion compact appealed to a diverse range of skin tones, topping Amazon's US beauty sales last year. In skincare, Medicube has gained popularity for its collagen-boosting properties, while brands such as Cosrx and Anua stand out for star ingredients like snail secretion and heartleaf extract. Driving this growth in part are original design manufacturers, according to Kim, whose advanced development and production capabilities have enabled smaller Korean brands to scale rapidly. This marks a subtle yet profound shift in consumer behavior from brand loyalty to a product-first mindset, one industry observer noted. Regardless of brand size, more consumers, especially younger generations, are weighing product quality and price above all. Korea's top two ODMs, Kolmar Korea and Cosmax, both posted record-high sales last year at 2.45 trillion won and 2.16 trillion won, respectively. Storied brands and contract manufacturers, which handle the bulk of production for smaller K-beauty brands, also remain well-prepared to meet US regulations, including stricter FDA registration, product listing and labeling requirements under the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act. 'We have a dedicated team that monitors US regulations, including MoCRA and the FDA's requirements for over-the-counter drugs like sunscreens, to ensure compliance,' said a Cosmax official. At the top: US hurdles K-beauty's hard-won rise to prominence faces a looming challenge: a delayed 25 percent tariff set to hit on July 8, adding to the minimum 10 percent tariff already in place. In a bid to offset the impact, some firms are leveraging their existing capabilities, while others are eyeing market entry. Kolmar Korea is ramping up its US operations, with a second facility entering pilot operations in the second quarter of this year, complementing its existing factory in Pennsylvania. 'With the Trump administration's tariffs in play, we're seeing a rise in domestic brand inquiries for US-based production," a Kolmar official said. Once the second plant comes online, Kolmar Korea expects its local annual production capacity for sunscreens and basic skincare to nearly double from the current 180 million. Cosmax projected its sunscreen production in Korea and the US will more than triple this year, as four times as many clients plan to enter the US OTC sunscreen market. Cosmax's facility in New Jersey produces around 280 million units annually, accounting for 10 percent of the company's total production. The move coincides with a tariff scare that, in April, sent US consumers into a buying spree for Korean sunscreens prized for their superior UV protection and seamless compatibility with layered makeup. South Korea's top two beauty giants, Amorepacific and LG Household & Health Care, are also stepping up their US operations. LG H&H announced in April a $130 million paid-in capital increase for its North American subsidiary in order to expand its product lineup and boost marketing initiatives. Amorepacific hinted at building its own US manufacturing facilities. In April, CEO Kim Seung-hwan told Bloomberg TV the company plans to invest in US logistics and modular production infrastructure within the next three to five years. Though the tariff situation may seem dire, some industry insiders are more concerned about the strong won against the dollar, which could drive up the prices of Korean imports in the US market. 'Tariffs strike far and wide, not just Korea, and for companies heavily dependent on exports, the won-dollar exchange rate could prove even more critical,' said one insider on condition of anonymity. They went on to describe a new chapter in which technological prowess will shape success in an increasingly personalized and segmented market for years to come: 'In fact, consumers' love for K-beauty is no longer about price alone." K-beauty brands are hardly running behind as they pursue rapid innovation in their products. At this year's CES in January, for instance, beauty powerhouses like Amorepacific, Kolmar Korea and APR showcased next-generation beauty tech, including AI-powered devices, as they charge forward into the tech-infused future.

Trump plans 50% tariffs on steel and aluminum
WEST MIFFLIN, Pennsylvania (Reuters) — US President Donald Trump said he planned to increase tariffs on imported steel and aluminum to 50 percent from 25 percent, ratcheting up pressure on global steel producers and deepening his trade war. "We are going to be imposing a 25 percent increase. We're going to bring it from 25 percent to 50 percent — the tariffs on steel into the United States of America, which will even further secure the steel industry in the United States," he said at a rally in Pennsylvania. The doubling of steel and aluminum levies intensifies Trump's global trade war and came just hours after he accused China of violating an agreement with the US to mutually roll back tariffs and trade restrictions for critical minerals. Trump announced the higher tariffs just outside Pittsburgh, where he was talking up an agreement between Nippon Steel and US Steel. Trump said the $14.9 billion deal, like the tariff increase, will help keep jobs for steel workers in the US. He later posted on social media that the increased tariff would also apply to aluminum products and that it would take effect Wednesday. Shares of steelmaker Cleveland-Cliffs surged 26 percent after the market close as investors bet the new levies will help its profits. The announcement drew harsh reactions from US trading partners around the world. Canada's Chamber of Commerce quickly denounced the tariff hike as "antithetical to North American economic security." "Unwinding the efficient, competitive and reliable cross-border supply chains like we have in steel and aluminum comes at a great cost to both countries," Candace Laing, president of the chamber, said in a statement. Canada's United Steelworkers union called the move a direct attack on Canadian industries and workers. The European Commission said Saturday that Europe was prepared to retaliate. "This decision adds further uncertainty to the global economy and increases costs for consumers and businesses on both sides of the Atlantic," a European Commission spokesperson said. "The EU is prepared to impose countermeasures, including in response to the latest US tariff increase." Australia's center-left government also condemned the tariff increase, with Trade Minister Don Farrell calling it "unjustified and not the act of a friend." Trump spoke at US Steel's Mon Valley Works, a steel plant that symbolizes both the one-time strength and the decline of US manufacturing power as the Rust Belt's steel plants and factories lost business to international rivals. Closely contested Pennsylvania is also a major prize in presidential elections. The US is the world's largest steel importer, excluding the European Union, with a total of 26.2 million tons of imported steel in 2024, according to the Department of Commerce. As a result, the new tariffs will likely increase steel prices across the board, hitting industry and consumers alike. Steel and aluminum tariffs were among the earliest put into effect by Trump when he returned to office in January. The tariffs of 25 percent on most steel and aluminum imported to the US went into effect in March, and he had briefly threatened a 50 percent levy on Canadian steel but ultimately backed off. Under the so-called Section 232 national security authority, the import taxes include both raw metals and derivative products as diverse as stainless steel sinks, gas ranges, air conditioner evaporator coils, horseshoes, aluminum frying pans and steel door hinges. The 2024 import value for the 289 product categories came to $147.3 billion with nearly two-thirds aluminum and one-third steel, according to Census Bureau data retrieved through the US International Trade Commission's Data Web system. By contrast, Trump's first two rounds of punitive tariffs on Chinese industrial goods in 2018 during his first term totaled $50 billion in annual import value.
