Labelling Cosmetic Act South Korea


On January 31, 2024, the Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety announced new regulations for cosmetics.  

The new regulations include: 

  • Strengthening labelling requirements for some small-capacity cosmetics, such as intimate hygiene soap and permanent wave products for eyelashes, to inform consumers about the ingredients and precautions. 

  • Allowing the use of various private institution certification results for cosmetic advertising based on demonstration. 

  • Preparing a procedure for reporting and improving the non-performance of responsible sales managers or manufacturers of customized cosmetics. 

  • Streamlining the administrative work for changing or closing the cosmetics business, such as checking the family relationship certificate and handling the business closure report as submitted. 

The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety expects that the revision will help consumers use cosmetics more safely and revitalize the domestic cosmetics certification industry.
