We unlock local brands’ global potential
✨ Who We Are
Unlockt Brands is the bridge between Korea’s most innovative beauty and wellness brands and U.S. consumers.
We build, operate, and grow category-defining brands — from skincare and wellness to color cosmetics and nail care — that are transforming how people experience K-beauty.
Our mission is simple: to unlock the full potential of K-beauty in the global market — through data, creativity, and bold execution.
🌟 Our Achievements
We’ve built one of the fastest-growing Korean brand portfolios in the U.S. — and we’re just getting started.
🛍️ Breaking into Major U.S. Retail
- Ohora’s debut at Walmart and Target (2024) marked the first major break-in of a Korean consumer brand into top U.S. mass retailers.
- We later launched “Best of K-Beauty” at Target, introducing the top Korean skincare brands including SKIN1004, ROUND LAB, BEAUTY OF JOSEON, TORRIDEN, SUNGBOON EDITOR to Target’s national shelves for the first time — a milestone for the entire category.
- Today, Unlockt continues expanding into color cosmetics, haircare, and wellness — broadening what “K-beauty” means for the U.S. shopper.
💅 Our Own Brand: Heyhae (heyhae.co)
- Our in-house nail brand Heyhae has seen 20–30% month-over-month growth since launch.
- Heyhae proudly earned the prestigious Allure Best of Beauty Award — one of the industry’s highest honors.
- On Amazon, Heyhae ranks as the #2 best-selling brand in the gel nail strip category, showing how innovation meets everyday appeal.
