Some examples of its products include leave-in molecular repair mask and molecular repair hair oil, under the hair treatment category, Damage Shield protective conditioner, Damage Shield pH protective Shampoo, and detox shampoo under the Shampoo + Conditioner category as well as the sets and gifts. K18 as of December 2023, distributes its products through its e-commerce website as well as through professional salons and retail, primarily in North America, the UK, and Australia.   The company generates revenue by selling its products through its e-commerce website, professional salons, and retail.
