Brand History
Launched by Chicmax in 2014, One Leaf positioned itself in botanical skincare around 'freshness' — fresh hydration, fresh masks, fresh serums — using green visuals and a live-plant story to build mass recognition. Its peak came in 2015-2018, when the high-frequency mask category plus variety-show spend made it a leading domestic mask brand and, with Kans, one of Chicmax's two pillars.
After 2019, price wars in masks and pressure from international and emerging brands slowed growth. Chicmax shifted resources to Kans' Douyin breakout while One Leaf upgraded toward 'botanical plus efficacy', launching flower masks and enzyme lines and leaning on the group's self-broadcast matrix. It has recovered with the group's channel expansion, though its revenue is not disclosed separately.

Observation: Sheet masks were the first domestic category to enter a price war, with per-sheet prices compressed so far that premium positioning is nearly impossible. One Leaf's shift to 'botanical efficacy skincare' is an attempt to move from mask traffic logic to skincare repurchase logic, but that path is already occupied by stronger players such as Winona and Simpcare, and requires a sharper ingredient signature.
