SOUTH KOREA. Lotte Duty Free has launched a range of vegan cosmetics through its online mall LDF BUY.
The products are not tested on animals and feature only eco-friendly ingredients.
Initially LDF BUY will sell vegan cosmetic products from Grown Alchemist and Hunter Lab, with Kora Organics to follow later this month. All products have been sourced by Lotte Duty Free Australia.
Grown Alchemist is a natural skincare brand known for its use of technology and naturally-derived ingredients. The brand uses glass and plastic packaging that does not harm the environment. Its products were recently certified cruelty-free by PETA, the world’s leading animal rights organisation.
HunterLab is an organic brand that provides an alternative to those which use synthetic formulas that can cause skin sensitivities. The brand currently operates 200 premium online and offline stores in Australia, New Zealand and China. All HunterLab’s cosmetic containers are FSC (International Forest Management Council) certified.
Kora Organics – the brand promoted by international supermodel Miranda Kerr – creates products made by combining organic ingredients rich in essential fatty acids such as Noni extract, Kahai oil, caviar lime, and kakadu plum with vitamins A, C and E. The products are also certified cruelty-free by PETA.
The vegan cosmetics products sold are not duty free, so they can be purchased online through LDF BUY without South Korean customers having to leave the country.
To commemorate the launch on LDF BUY, purchasers up to 15 May are being entered into a prize draw with the chance to win health foods. Discounts up to -20% are immediately available on the newly-listed brands.
In addition, the company is hosting various promotions. These include discounts up to -60% on LDF BUY to mark Family Month in May and -10% off payments of over KRW120,000 (US$94) made with Lotte Card up to 15 May.
Separately, discounts of KRW5,000 (US$3.92) are available to customers who spend over KRW60,000 (US$47) on their first purchase through the LDF BUY app by the end of the year.
In related news, Lotte Duty Free revealed that LDF BUY’s Q1 sales continue to rise sharply, up approximately +80% from the previous quarter.
