Yatsen is a leader in the rapidly evolving China beauty market. Founded in 2016, we have launched three fast-growing, successful color cosmetics and skincare brands: Perfect Diary, Little Ondine, and Abby’s Choice. Together, these three brands served 23.4 million and 23.5 million DTC customers in 2019 and the nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. Our first brand, Perfect Diary, became the top color cosmetics brand in China in terms of online retail sales value three years after launch, according to the CIC Report. This success is due to our digitally native DTC business model that is new to China’s beauty industry. Through this model, we focus on deep customer engagement, innovative product development and personalized services. The beauty industry in China has been evolving rapidly. For many Chinese beauty consumers, massive e-commerce platforms such as Tmall, JD.com and Vipshop have become default shopping destinations. More recently, disruptive and dynamic social and content platforms such as Weixin, Douyin, Kuaishou, Bilibili and RED have been playing an increasing role in consumers’ discovery and purchase of beauty products. As a result, we saw a significant opportunity to create a disruptive beauty brand, reimagined from the ground up, that partners with these marketing channels and supply chain players in a more integrated and unique way and provides young consumers with a superior experience and an engaging new journey of beauty discovery.
