About the Project

COXIR is a South Korean K-Beauty brand specializing in innovative skincare products featuring snail mucin, collagen, and other nature-derived ingredients. Part of the booming Korean beauty wave, COXIR targets Gen Z consumers in the DACH region who discover beauty trends on TikTok before they hit mainstream retail shelves.

The Challenge

What Was the Problem?

K-Beauty was virtually unknown in the DACH market. Snail slime skincare sounds exotic — even off-putting — to European consumers unfamiliar with Korean beauty rituals. COXIR needed to build trust for niche ingredients through authentic creator voices rather than traditional advertising that would fall flat with skeptical Gen Z audiences.

Our Approach

How We Solved It

We deployed 3 beauty creators to produce authentic tutorial-style TikTok content — showing real application routines with snail mucin products. The challenge format ("Would you put snail slime on your face?") turned the ingredient's strangeness into a curiosity hook. Creators demonstrated results in their own skincare routines, building trust through transparency rather than claims.
