Brand: LG H&H (46cm brand) · Updated 2026-10-21 · Checked 2026-10-14/15 · Issue 01

## The gap
- Amazon US sellers when searched "46cm deodorant": 0 (2026-10-14/15)
- One search phrase only: a seller listing it as just “Korean body wash” would not show up. Not seen is not proof of never sold. Also listed on eBay (2 listings) and a few Korean cross-border shops when checked.

## Price per 100 ml, Korea (computed)
- Daiso: 225 ml, ₩5,000 = ₩2,222/100 ml (2026-10-15)
- Kurly: 600 ml, ₩13,900 = ₩2,317/100 ml (2026-10-15)
- LG Care Mall (Cooling): 600 ml, ₩16,900 = ₩2,817/100 ml (2026-10-15)
