( (JP:3660) ) is now available. Istyle Inc. is reinforcing the strategic role of its @cosme platform, shifting it from a simple cosmetics review site to a globally applicable service tailored to dedicated beauty enthusiasts. The company is building on its core assets in data, media, and retail networks to function as a distribution platform for Japanese beauty products worldwide, underpinned by a long-standing vision of creating consumer-centric markets. At its fiscal 2026 results briefing, Istyle signaled that its renewed commercial agreement with Amazon will include new elements, and it unveiled @cosme Design Lab to study AI-driven changes in consumer behavior. Management emphasized the need to address J-Beauty’s lack of global distribution and a weak capital-market ecosystem compared with K-Beauty, and outlined plans to collaborate with government and create transaction precedents that can attract investment and strengthen emerging Japanese beauty brands. The company is also reorganizing operations into a unified structure linking @cosme, e-commerce, and physical stores from the consumer’s perspective. This organizational shift is intended to ensure that business optimization does not override consumer-centric principles, supporting Istyle’s ambition to become a key platform player in the global beauty industry. **More about istyle Inc.** Istyle Inc. is a Japan-based beauty and cosmetics platform operator best known for its @cosme review and community service.
