KISIDE Announces the Launch of Korean Beauty Brand OLOA at Maison Kōsane in Le Bon Marché Rive Gauche

PARIS, October 2, 2026 – SOLUM announces the launch of Korean beauty brand OLOA at Maison Kōsane, a Paris-based destination for curated Korean beauty brands. Located within Le Bon Marché Rive Gauche, widely recognized as the world's first department store, Maison Kōsane will introduce OLOA to French consumers as part of its curated K-Beauty offering.

This collaboration brings together OLOA’s scientific expertise, Maison Kōsane’s rigorous curation, and KISIDE’s support for the development of Korean brands across Europe.

OLOA: A Skincare Approach Aligned with Maison Kōsane’s Vision

At Maison Kōsane, every product listing is evaluated according to three key criteria: formulation rigor, proven effectiveness, and alignment with the Maison’s philosophy. The selection is intentionally focused, with each product chosen for the relevance of its proposition, the quality of its development, and its ability to become a lasting part of a skincare routine.

Whether online or in-store, products introduced by Maison Kōsane have already been tested, studied, and validated. The selection is not simply a catalog; it reflects the Maison’s commitment to careful curation. This approach is accompanied by an educational mission that is central to Maison Kōsane: helping each customer understand a product’s purpose, active ingredients, and proper place within a skincare routine.

OLOA, an acronym for « On Life, Of All », is a Korean marine dermo-cosmetic brand built on more than ten years of biotechnology research focused on marine phytoplankton. Developed by a team of bioengineers, the brand combines scientific research with active ingredients inspired by the marine ecosystem.

Its product range covers the major steps of a skincare routine, including cleansing, toning, hydration, targeted treatments, and sun protection.

Emma Vannier, Founder and CEO of Maison Kōsane, said:

« What convinced us about OLOA was the depth of its research: more than ten years devoted to marine microalgae on Korea’s east coast. This scientific expertise gives the brand a truly distinctive identity. Our role at Maison Kōsane is then to make that expertise accessible, to explain the science, understand what it brings to the skin, and place it appropriately within a progressive and coherent skincare routine. »

This progressive view of skincare reflects Maison Kōsane’s philosophy, which sees the skin not as a problem to be corrected, but as a balance to be understood and supported over time.

KISIDE: Supporting Each Retailer’s Unique Identity

KISIDE is SOLUM’s platform dedicated to the distribution and development of K-Beauty brands in Europe. It facilitates market entry while considering the positioning and curation philosophy of each retail partner, ensuring that their unique identity is preserved.

Maison Kōsane fully retains its curation and selection role, while KISIDE supports OLOA’s development and distribution in France. 

Beyond connecting brands and retailers, KISIDE combines expertise in Korean beauty brands, market development, and access to relevant distribution channels. Depending on the project, the platform can also integrate SOLUM’s retail technologies, including electronic shelf labels (ESL), e-paper solutions, digital signage, and artificial intelligence technologies, to enrich the customer experience and create new retail media opportunities.

Daniel Lee, CEO of SOLUM, said:

« With OLOA, we are moving from the vision presented through KISIDE to a tangible implementation in the French market. This launch demonstrates what we aim to bring to retailers: not only technologies that help digitize stores, but also a model that connects the right brands, the right retail environment, and an experience that can evolve with consumers. K-Beauty is especially compelling in this regard because it is rooted in a strong culture of innovation, discovery, and experience. »

OLOA products will be available from October 2, 2026, at Maison Kōsane in Le Bon Marché Rive Gauche, as well as through Maison Kōsane’s online store.
