South Korean cosmetic firm Neopharm is set to expand its sensitive skin care brand Atopalm into the thriving Chinese baby care market. Following regulatory approval and receiving the Little Golden Shield certification, Atopalm will launch three baby products—MLE Baby Lotion, MLE Baby Cream, and Top to Toe Baby Wash—on e-commerce platforms Tmall, Douyin, and Kuaishou in March.
Neopharm's digital marketing strategy will focus on building a strong online presence, collaborating with key opinion leaders (KOLs) such as childcare experts, and leveraging social networking platforms like Little Red Book, WeChat, and Weibo. Additionally, the brand plans to tap into live commerce opportunities on Douyin and Kuaishou, while also expanding offline to specialty stores and large supermarkets.
Atopalm's patented MLE technology is designed to protect sensitive and damaged skin, making it a leading brand in Korea for nine consecutive years. With its expansion into China, Neopharm aims to establish Atopalm as the top skin care brand for sensitive skin in the baby care category, leveraging its proven technology and digital marketing prowess.
