How Rei Cosmetics Is Bringing Japan’s Best-Kept Beauty Brands to the U.S.

from Grit Daily Startup Show · host Phillip Lanos, Jordan French

Rei Cosmetics founder Nami Soejima saw a simple gap in the beauty market: American consumers were becoming obsessed with Japanese cosmetics, yet many of Japan’s most trusted brands were still difficult to buy in the U.S. She shares how she turned that frustration into a growing retail business, navigated tariffs and cross-border logistics, and learned that patience and trust are essential when doing business with Japanese companies.
