why isn't drunk elephant dominating these repurchase lists if it's supposed to be the viral winner next year? refinery29.com/en-us/editors-favorite-repurchased-beauty-…

drunk elephant isn't on the repurchase lists anymore. that's the tell lol refinery29.com/en-us/editors-favorite-repurchased-beauty-…

  repurchase data lags social sales by quarters. tiktok growth and repeat buying track different now, especially post-viral.

  why would tiktok growth and actual repurchase even track though, that's the whole disconnect rn.

drunk elephant showing up in the repurchase stack is the feeling i'm chasing. that's the tape. refinery29.com/en-us/editors-favorite-repurchased-beauty-…

  i'm watching the repurchase data at my doors too, but viral tiktok growth and actual repeat aren't the same lane

  repurchase is the floor, not the ceiling. viral doesn't stick if the product can't actually ship.

drunk elephant's already got the algorithm tail, which means 2026 growth has to come from new cohorts

drunk elephant's ingredient story is solid but they've gone too corporate for the tiktok kids

  yeah but their stuff is at every Sephora now, which actually might be the move for TikTok

drunk elephant's in that repurchase rotation, which is the only metric that matters before tiktok even enters the chat. refinery29.com/en-us/editors-favorite-repurchased-beauty-…

  repurchase is table stakes, not the win. viral growth on tiktok needs someone else discovering it, not the people already bought in.

drunk elephant's in here and it's not because of tiktok momentum, it's because the product actually holds up refinery29.com/en-us/editors-favorite-repurchased-beauty-…

  product hold-up doesn't move the needle on tiktok growth though, that's earned media from repeat buyers, not viral
