Latin America's e-commerce landscape is undergoing a major transformation. TikTok Shop Mexico is at the center of this shift, rapidly redefining what content-driven commerce can achieve. According to April 2025 data from FastMoss, the beauty and personal care category on TikTok Shop Mexico sold over 255,000 units in just one month—a staggering 83.9% month-over-month increase. The number of active SKUs neared 4,000, and local KOLs produced over 120,000 product-related videos. This marks the emergence of Latin America's first mature “content-to-commerce” closed-loop ecosystem.

Redefining Virality: The Power of Visual Content and the KOL Economy
The beauty category’s rapid rise is a clear win for TikTok’s “content is the storefront” model. Since Mexico’s commercial rollout earlier this year, affordable cosmetic brands like Sace Lady and QUARXERY have gained traction by using eye-catching visuals—think gel textures, before-and-after foundation shots, and real-use demonstrations.
One standout: QUARXERY's exfoliating gel climbed to the top of the charts with a 655% growth rate, hitting 6,500 units sold in a single month. Meanwhile, Sace Lady’s foundation line surpassed 40,000 units. Both leveraged a matrix of thousands of KOLs and tens of thousands of short videos to create a three-stage conversion funnel: content discovery → trust building → purchase.
KOL Ecosystem Evolution: From Traffic Channels to Conversion Engines
FastMoss data reveals a clear conversion story: in April, short-form videos and product cards each accounted for 49% of beauty and personal care sales. Partnerships with KOL-operated accounts directly drove over 110,000 orders.
Top KOLs now deliver results through seamless content-commerce loops. Take beauty KOL @LilaBeauty for example: she showcases QUARXERY’s gel in a video, then launches a limited-time “Buy 2, Get 1 Free” deal during her livestream. This single session alone sold more than 3,000 units—demonstrating the high-impact synergy between content and commerce.
