Foreo is a privately owned company. It is developing, producing its own products and distributing them over mix of owned channels and independent distributors like Sephora, Galeries Lafayette, Douglas, Harrods, Feel Unique, Bloomingdale's, El Corte Ingles.

Foreo products heavily rely on technological advancement and innovation. Apart from own patented technologies, company actively applies existing inventions into its products. Since 2018, many at-home care devices are connected to and controlled by Foreo app via Bluetooth connection.

It was one of the first beauty companies to mainly focus on digital multi-channel marketing tools and use Influencer and affiliate marketing and digital media as main tools to expand their audiences globally.[16] [17] This enabled company to quickly grow on multiple markets, utilizing increasing trend of beauty industry being driven by influencers' approval rather than traditional media. It was among the first brands to use TikTok for marketing, having a campaign with a very popular TikTok influencer mom Sheri Nicole in 2020, that was later used by TikTok as a case study.[18]

This and appearing on popular TV and YouTube shows like Star wars, The Ellen DeGeneres Show , Spanish Netflix TV series Valeria, Good Morning America, Korean Netflix show The Secret Life of My Secretary, Popular Mexican La Mas Draga YouTube show helped company to quickly become a known name in beauty industry.

In 2018, company has launched its first AI-enabled device, Luna fofo. It integrated machine learning and sensors to monitor skin hydration levels of its user to customize users’ cleansing routines over time.[24] One of company's products, UFO masks, were launched via KickStarter campaign.[25] Foreo's LUNA 4 range was launched as an NFT prior to traditional launch.[26]

[28] [29] Net proceeds from sales were to be donated to GreenWave and SEA LIFE Trust.

NFT - mental health

In 2022, company had put its renowned LUNA on the blockchain and became the first skincare brand ever to launch digitalized versions of its products as an NFT prior to the conventional launch.[26]All the profits that have obtained of this initiative were donated to organizations involved in supporting and improving mental health and diverse conditions of the skin. Foreo donated all the proceedings from the NFTs to three charities: Tjejzonen,[30] Hope Givers and The Scleroderma Research Foundation, in the brand’s continuous effort to promote both healthy skin and mental health.
