MerchantMind AI teamed up with Peach & Lily to break through a crowded skincare landscape by fusing deep audience insights, rich educational content, and seamless shopping experiences.

"We were looking for a partner who could help us cut through the noise in the beauty space and showcase the unique benefits of our K-beauty products to a broader audience," said Alicia Yoon, Founder and CEO of Peach & Lily.
