February 2025 Cosmetics Trends

The Cosmetics Act has been updated to let manufacturers request approval for using or modifying previously banned ingredients. The new rules specify the required documents and safety measures for these requests while also addressing false advertising concerns.

These changes focus on ensuring compliance, consumer safety, transparency, and market monitoring. Manufacturers must submit production details and ingredient lists to authorities like the Korean Cosmetic Association to avoid penalties. This reporting process helps maintain consumer trust, strengthens brand reputation, and prevents misleading claims. The amendments highlight the need for clear and accurate product information to build consumer confidence.
