What this means for marketers

Compare share across months

The query matched 4,140 October videos and 5,506 in September. Normalized share rose 6.6%. The counts cover the full month. Framing, hooks and formats retain the October 1 through 29 review sample.

Follow the October brand findings

The expanded October brand review adds or rechecks L'Occitane (58 videos) and Olay (23 videos) in this topic. These are co-mentions within the topic query; they do not establish a launch date, preference or product effect.

Read the video alongside the caption

70.7% of reviewed videos identify the topic through video-derived text without the term in the caption, title or hashtags. That percentage describes the selected sample.

Keep sponsored activity in view

691 of 1,852 matching TikToks (37.3%) carry a sponsored source flag. This covers TikTok flags; it does not estimate spend or sales.

Use framing as a briefing input

The largest coded framing is “body care / shower routine”, present in 20 reviewed videos. Use it to choose examples for a brief; the sample does not prove that this message causes higher reach.

Check a source example

Shows three perfumes available at Sephora (12,200,000 views). It illustrates one matched video rather than the whole topic.

Frequently asked questions

The query’s share of tracked beauty video rose 6.6% from September, with 4,140 matches in the October 1 through 31 period. Both months use the same query. This measures attention rather than sales or product effectiveness.
