Oh K! Beauty
Oh K! Beauty was founded in 2014 by NPW Group, a UK-based company specializing in novelty gifts, beauty, and lifestyle products.

Since launch, Oh K! has grown globally, available at retailers like Ulta, ASOS, and Beauty Bay, and topped Cosmetify's 2024 most-searched beauty brands with 73.4 million searches.
