Data Sources

K-Beauty Vibe pulls ranking data directly from the following platforms.
Each is shown on its own tab rather than blended together – see
Methodology for why.

  • Olive Young Korea – Korea’s largest beauty retailer;
    reflects in-country sales.
  • Olive Young Global – Olive Young’s international
    storefront; used for availability, price, rating, and review-count context,
    not as a global-demand ranking.
  • Hwahae (Korea & Global) – a Korean beauty review
    platform; rankings reflect user reviews rather than sales.
  • Amazon – Korean beauty products found via Amazon’s own
    Beauty-department search, in Amazon’s search order (not an official Amazon
    Best Sellers Rank – see Methodology).
  • Daiso – a Korean discount retailer; reflects Korean
    best-seller data for budget-focused products.
  • Musinsa – a Korean fashion & beauty platform popular
    with younger shoppers; reflects Korean best-seller data.
  • Sephora – reflects Korean-beauty products carried on
    Sephora’s international storefront.
