What to consider before choosing a Korean cosmetic manufacturer
Minimum order quantities (MOQs): Confirm what the minimums are for your chosen formulation and packaging.
Certifications & compliance: Ensure the manufacturer holds relevant safety and regulatory certifications (e.g., GMP, ISO, Korean MFDS).
Packaging & design flexibility: Check how much customisation you can do for your label, bottle, jar, box, and visual identity.
Lead time & logistics: While references show 4-6 weeks average, verify shipping, customs and overseas distribution timelines for your target markets.
Support for global markets: If you are selling outside Korea (e.g., US, Europe, Latin America), make sure the platform supports export logistics, labelling, multilingual documentation and compliance.
