Proven development capability

A real R&D lab, not a catalog

Certifications prove we manufacture safely. These prove we can develop.

In-house R&D team

A dedicated Korean R&D team with decades of combined experience across skincare, haircare, bodycare, sun care and functional cosmetics.

Structured development process

We review your brief, assess development feasibility and refine samples based on your feedback.

Documented quality

Standard export documents, such as the MSDS, COA and INCI list, are provided as applicable following production to support smooth export and registration procedures.

How it works

From brief to production, with no surprises

1
Submit your brief

Tell us the product you want to build. It is free and takes about 10 minutes.

2
Feasibility review

Our R&D team confirms we can build it — usually within 3 business days. We never invoice before this.

3
Spec of record

We agree, in writing, the exact targets your formula must hit.

4
Development fee

A single 2,100 USD fee by PayPal or bank transfer. Development starts as soon as payment clears.

5
Free samples and revisions

We develop and ship your first sample — typically 4–5 weeks after payment — with up to 2 further revisions.

6
Approve and graduate

Once the formula meets the agreed spec, it becomes your private SKU. Custom Formula production starts at MOQ 5,000 units. If you need less, our free Samples or a catalog Project may fit better.
