South Korea opens public consultation on Cosmetics Act amendment.
On September 3, 2024, Representative Paik Jong-heon proposed a bill to amend the Cosmetics Act. The amendment aims to abolish the current government-led certification system and promote a private self-certification system. The goal is to provide more diverse information on natural and organic cosmetics and to align product selection with consumer demand.
Reason for Revision
The existing law allows the government to certify natural and organic cosmetics. Internationally, however, such certification systems are typically managed by the private sector. To align with global standards, Korea needs to move to a market-oriented certification system. As the cosmetics industry evolves and consumer values diversify, the government is seeking to abolish the current certification system to better meet consumer demand for natural and organic products.
