The Problem

Beauty shoppers trust AI recommendations
more than influencers. Are you being recommended?

Queries your customers are asking AI right now — and you're not showing up:
Best retinol serum for sensitive skin that won't cause irritation
Top clean beauty brand for hyperpigmentation and dark spots
Best vitamin C serum that dermatologists actually recommend
What skincare routine should I follow for combination skin?
Best SPF moisturizer that doesn't leave a white cast on dark skin
Top cruelty-free mascara that actually lengthens and doesn't flake
"We were spending $22k/month on Meta and TikTok ads with a $78 CAC. After 90 days with Cactus, we started getting 300+ organic customers per month from AI referrals — people who specifically said they found us through ChatGPT or Perplexity. Our blended CAC dropped from $78 to $31."
Result: 300+ AI-referred customers/month within 90 days. Blended CAC reduced from $78 to $31. Meta ad spend cut by 40%.

FAQ

Questions about Cactus
for Beauty & Skincare.

Indie brands have a significant advantage. AI tends to recommend specific, ingredient-forward brands over mass market — and the clean beauty, clinical skincare, and specialty categories are where AI authority is still being established. The window to become the default recommendation in your niche is still open.
Skincare (serums, moisturizers, SPF, retinol, vitamin C), haircare, body care, clean beauty, clinical skincare, color cosmetics, fragrance, and any beauty category where customers research ingredients and formulations before purchasing.
Influencer marketing builds awareness and social proof. Cactus builds AI authority — the algorithmic credibility that makes AI models recommend your brand when customers ask for recommendations. They work together, but as AI becomes the primary discovery channel for beauty, Cactus is the only tool built specifically for it.
Most beauty brands see their first AI citations within 30–45 days. Meaningful traffic impact typically happens in 60–90 days. Beauty AI authority compounds — ingredient-level content you build today keeps driving recommendations for years.
Yes. No contracts, no cancellation fees. Cancel anytime from your dashboard. Most beauty founders find the math obvious within 60 days — AI-referred customers at zero CAC vs. paying $35–$90 per customer on paid social.
