History

INTO YOU was established at the end of 2019 with the goal of creating innovative makeup products rather than following traditional cosmetic formats. During its early development, the company invested heavily in research on a new lip texture that combined the softness of mousse with the coverage of matte lipstick.

The result was Lip Mud, a unique whipped formula that quickly became the brand’s signature product. The product’s success helped INTO YOU grow rapidly across Chinese e-commerce platforms before expanding into Southeast Asia, Japan, the Middle East, and other international markets. 2

Brand Philosophy

INTO YOU promotes makeup as a form of self-expression rather than simply enhancing appearance.

According to the brand, its core values include:

The company emphasizes that beauty has no restrictions based on age, gender, race, or identity and encourages consumers to experiment with makeup creatively. 3
