LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, U.S., November 25, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Future State Brands announces today its official consumer market entry into China with the launch of Hempathy on Alibaba’s Tmall Global platform. Hempathy is a direct-to-consumer brand providing hemp-based skincare products with a plant-powered approach. As a result of Future State Brands’ first international expansion, Hempathy becomes the first U.S. hemp-based beauty brand to launch in China.

Future State Brands oversees a growing portfolio of hemp, CBD and lifestyle brands. Recognizing the growing demand for cannabinoid beauty products in China, Future State Brands partnered with CBD and hemp social commerce and cross-border specialist Yooma Corp., to launch Hempathy prior to the country’s notorious Singles Day on November 11, 2020. Yooma is a leader in launching western brands in China and other Asian markets through Yooma’s various sales and distribution channels including Tmall Global.

“China is in the early stages of cannabinoid legalization reminiscent of the legalization journey in North America. With 1.4 billion consumers and the recent acceptance of CBD for topical skincare, the market opportunity became clear to be an early brand into what we know will be a sizable hemp-based beauty trend in the coming years,” said Drake Sutton-Shearer, CEO and Founder of Future State Brands.

Hempathy is available via the Peach & Coco Tmall Global store, a Yooma-owned eCommerce retailer. Through this partnership, Future State Brands will focus on rapid expansion in additional sales channels in an effort to move with the momentum and become a leader in China’s cannabinoid beauty market.

“We’re thrilled to partner with Drake and Future State Brands to launch Hempathy in the lucrative Chinese market at a time when cannabinoid beauty is really taking off,” said Ron Wardle, Co-CEO of Yooma. “We project a $15 billion market opportunity over the next five years in China and early indicators show that to be very much on track. We’re excited to see Hempathy lead the charge on educating around hemp-based beauty and flourish in this next chapter.”

Hempathy is currently available for purchase in the U.S. on Hempathyliving.com, via Amazon, Walmart, and with additional select retailers in 2021. The brand was included in Allure’s “Best of Beauty 2020”, with additional coverage in Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Elle, and InStyle Magazine. Hempathy is a recent 2020 nominee for the Los Angeles Business Journal Beauty Awards.
