## About

Damdam focuses on creating skincare solutions using traditional Japanese ingredients. Giselle Go and Philippe Terrien are the co-founders of the company. In January 2025, Damdam raised USD 3 million in seed funding led by Silas Capital and Habitat Partners.

DAMDAM specializes in Japanese skincare, offering a range of products that utilize traditional Japanese ingredients combined with modern skin science. The company’s core product line includes the Citrus Glow Vitamin C + Hyaluronic Serum, Mochi Mochi Luminous Cream, Snow Mushroom Salt Cleanser, and Matcha Boost Eye Serum, among others. Each product is formulated to address specific skin concerns such as dryness, dullness, hyperpigmentation, and aging, with a focus on improving skin texture and radiance. The brand targets a diverse customer base that includes skincare enthusiasts and individuals seeking clean beauty solutions, primarily serving markets in North America, Europe, and parts of Asia.

The company generates revenue through direct-to-consumer sales, focusing on individual transactions where customers purchase products directly from their online platform. Transactions typically involve one-time purchases, although the company may also implement loyalty rewards for repeat customers, encouraging additional sales.

The organization plans to use the January 2025 funding to support product development, expand the US team, and strengthen the Sephora partnership.
