Top 10 beauty brands of Asia

Preface

Asia has been highly praised for its skill in developing innovative products which use natural but at times bizarre ingredients. They have unique textures and are known to satisfy a wide range of customer needs. As the biggest global customer of beauty products, Asia has also given rise to some amazing brands including the likes of SKII, Shiseido, Bioré, Innisfree, Kosé, and Sulwhasoo. Emerging brands need recognition to exhibit the potential for success in the future. Twimbit embarked on this research to identify the brands we believe have demonstrated tremendous potential for growth. We hope this list inspires these brands to continue on their strong journey of innovation and growth. Our hope is that, through this list, we will continue to discover new amazing Asian brands that will go on to transform into something bigger.
