UK market entry
We take beauty and fragrance brands into UK retail.
KTDS Global handles compliance and Responsible Person support, warehousing and fulfilment, and buyer introductions at retailers including Boots, Superdrug, John Lewis and Debenhams, then runs the launch.
The route
Four steps from arrival to launch.
Compliance and Responsible Person
UK cosmetic compliance and Responsible Person support. It comes first, because buyers will not talk to a brand until it is done.
Warehousing and fulfilment
Warehousing, fulfilment and logistics in the UK. The brand is ready to supply before the first buyer meeting.
Buyer introductions and presentations
Buyer presentations for UK buyers, and introductions to UK retail and ecommerce. Kirk makes the introductions and speaks to the buyers himself.
Launch
Launch events, creator campaigns, social and paid. The launch is run by the same people who made the introductions.
Who it is for
Brands entering the UK.
KTDS Global is for beauty and fragrance brands from Korea, Italy, Dubai, France, Spain, Japan and the USA that want to sell in the UK. Brands we work with include DRESS Cosmeetics, GENT Skincare and LUWIN Skincare. Boots, Superdrug, John Lewis and Debenhams are among the UK retailers we present brands to.
- You have a product ready for the UK.
- You need the compliance and warehousing done before buyers will talk.
- You want the launch run by the same people who made the introductions.
DRESS Cosmeetics
Milanese skincare, on its way into UK retail.
DRESS Cosmeetics is a luxury skincare brand from Milan. Its universal collection centres on three concentrated essentials, the Essential Lotion, Serum and Cream, with the Silk D application tool, a Body Senses Collection and the 3D-printed Beauty Box.

Buyer conversations are progressing across UK retail and ecommerce, and the launch campaign will follow them.
