Ulta Beauty is launching on TikTok Shop next week 👀 The timing makes sense. The retailer just reported a strong quarter with $3.9B in Q4 sales (+11.8% YoY) and $12.4B in revenue for 2025. Now they’re leaning into social commerce. Feels like another signal that TikTok Shop is

Rhode isn’t just launching products. It’s repositioning where it plays. The brand is leaning into dermocosmetics, the space between beauty and clinical efficacy. Consumers want products that feel: • science-backed • dermatologist-informed • still culturally relevant Rhode
