Months after Kim Kardashian West exclusively revealed her interest in entering the skincare market to Refinery29, she’s now taking a significant step. On August 17, she officially filed for the “KKW Skin” trademark through the United States Patent and Trademark Office. This trademark covers various skincare products including moisturizers, cleansers, toners, facial mists, and body powders. As seen with other trademark filings, it might take some time before we see this brand come to life – possibly catching us by surprise.
Before you can get your hands on the latest sell-out launch from the Kardashian-Jenner clan, the sisters are already planning for their next big business move. Case in point: Kim Kardashian’s upcoming venture. Just as she’s expanding her KKW Beauty empire into retail stores and launching her Skims undergarments line, she’s confirming her interest in the skincare category.
