OnTikTok, every day, tens of thousands of female users are scrolling through short videos, quietly getting influenced to buy—

Not because of beauty tutorials, nor because of fashion sharing, but because of several unexpected and novel products.

From butt masks focused on shaping, to slimming patches that assist metabolism just by sticking them on the skin, to healing clay kits that are easy to use at home.

These products may not seem to belong to mainstream consumer categories, but with their precise insight into the deep needs of women, they have hit the “itch point” of consumers onTikTok, even creating astonishing results of millions in monthly sales and over $100 million annually.

So, what exactly did these brands do right?

OnTikTok, a platform where content explodes and attention is scarce, how did they make female users willingly stop scrolling and actively place orders?

MAËLYS:

Making Body Care No Longer Shameful

While the body care track was still focusing on creams and serums,MAËLYS had quietly extended the battlefield to women's buttocks.

This brand did not choose to bombard with hard ads, but turnedTikTok into a “real change recorder.”

They invited postpartum moms to record the changes in abdominal lines after using B-Flat Firming Cream for 14 days, and asked fitness bloggers to show the firming effect after using B-Tight Butt Mask for a month.

No filters, no editing, only the most direct visual impact.

A video showing a belly cream eliminating stretch marks in one day easily garnered3.6 million views.

In the comments section, messages like “link please” and “want to try” flooded the screen—Users are not just watching ads, they are witnessing change.

MAËLYS is also good at using livestreaming to strengthen trust. In the livestream, the host shows before-and-after comparisons while increasing engagement with lucky draws and keyword interactions. Each livestream averages over 3 hours, with more than 100 viewers online at any time.

With146 livestreams, they generated $573,200 in GMV, forming a replicable trust conversion model.

Kind Patches:

GraspingGen Z’s Health Anxiety

While weight loss drugs became a global hot topic,Kind Patches took a different approach and launched a GLP-1 metabolic balance patch that “doesn’t require eating, just sticking.”

OnTikTok, they are well aware of the “3 seconds to decide” rule. The videos often start with counterintuitive visuals—such as covering the whole body with patches, paired with captions like “When you’re getting ready for the hottest livestream of the summer...”

A short12-second video can easily surpass a million views.

This highly attractive content strategy allowed the brand to gain 60,000 followers and surpass 5.56 million total views within 3 months of enteringTikTok US.

Even more impressive is their influencer strategy.Kind Patches did not blindly pursue top influencers, but instead focused on tens of thousands of micro-influencers.

An influencer with only60,000 followers, @Payton, posted a 5-second short video that reached 16.2 million views and an estimated sales of over $150,000.

The authenticity and approachability of micro-influencers have become the brand’s“amplifier” for trust.

Sculpd:

Making Handicrafts an Emotional Outlet for Women

You might find it hard to imagine that a box of clay could achieve $5 million in annual sales onTikTok.

The success of British brandSculpd lies in capturing the strong demand for healing experiences among women after the pandemic.

OnTikTok, they don’t teach complicated pottery techniques, but use 14-second fast tutorials to show how to easily make a fruit plate or a cartoon-shaped candle holder.

A fruit plate tutorial, just14 seconds long, received 10.6 million views. In the comments, questions like “What clay is used?” and “How long does it need to dry?” kept popping up.

Sculpd also cleverly collaborates with handicraft influencers.

For example, collaborating with influencer@Chambre Mauve to make a SpongeBob-shaped plate out of clay, which attracted anime fans and penetrated the handicraft community, achieving cross-community communication.

These contents do not emphasize professionalism, but emphasize“You can do it too.” While lowering the cognitive threshold for creation, they raise the emotional participation threshold, thus attracting many female consumers.

Summary:

Three Fundamental Logics of TikTok Female Marketing

These three brands may seem unrelated, but they have followed similar viral paths onTikTok:

1) Authenticity > Refinement:

Users no longer believe in overly polished content; they want perceivable changes and trustworthy testimonials.

2) Pain Points > Functions:

Products are not just about being useful, but about solving women’s anxiety, loneliness, and fatigue—whether it’s body anxiety, health concerns, or emotional needs.

3) Participation > Exposure:

Female users don’t just want to watch content; they want to interact, express opinions, and become part of the story.

Nowadays,TikTok is not a channel, but a conversation arena.

Here, brands can’t just talk, they must also listen; they can’t just showcase, they must also integrate.

Remember: Whoever can use the language familiar to women and tell the stories they want to hear will be able to secure a place in their shopping carts!
