See how we help beauty brands navigate Korean manufacturing.
01
Beauty Device
Ampoule Development
Home care brand (UAE)
Problem
The client planned to launch a beauty device ampoule in Korea but was preparing for a regulatory pathway that was not actually required for the product category.
If the project had moved forward without proper review, it would have resulted in unnecessary testing costs, additional development expenses, and significant launch delays before production even began.
Our Approach
Before development started, we reviewed the product concept, device-ampoule combination, target market requirements, and applicable regulatory considerations.
By identifying the correct compliance pathway early, we helped the client avoid unnecessary requirements and build the project on the right foundation from the beginning.
The client avoided unnecessary regulatory expenses, reduced launch risk,
and accelerated the development process without compromising compliance requirements.
Significant Cost Savings
6-monthS faster launch
Launch Risk Reduced
02
Seasonal Sun Care Launch
US Beauty Brand
Problem
The brand was preparing to launch a sunscreen product ahead of the summer season in the United States.
Because sunscreen products are regulated as OTC products, the project required compliance review, documentation, packaging coordination, manufacturing alignment, and strict production scheduling.
Any delay could have pushed the launch beyond the peak selling season and significantly impacted projected revenue.
Our Approach
We coordinated the project across formulation review, OTC compliance requirements, packaging development, supplier communication, production scheduling, and milestone management.
Acting as the local project management partner in Korea, we ensured all stakeholders remained aligned throughout the development and manufacturing process.
The brand successfully launched before the summer season despite complex OTC requirements
and multiple development workstreams.
3 Months Faster Launch
OTC Requirements Managed
100% On-Time Production
03
US Amazon Beauty Brand
Beauty Creator x Pure Essence
(France, England, USA)
Problem
The brand was experiencing extended lead times and increasing production costs due to supply chain bottlenecks.
Packaging components, bottles, pumps, labels, and manufacturing were managed through a bundled production structure, limiting flexibility and slowing replenishment cycles.
As sales volume increased, inventory planning became more difficult and lead times continued to grow.
Our Approach
We analyzed the supply chain and identified packaging procurement as the primary bottleneck.
Rather than changing the existing formula or manufacturing process, we redesigned the procurement structure by separating key packaging components into a customer-supplied material model.
This allowed the brand to maintain product consistency while improving procurement flexibility and production efficiency.
The brand reduced production lead times by more than two months
while lowering manufacturing costs and maintaining the existing formulation.
2+ Months Faster Lead Time
Lower Production Costs
Existing Formula Maintained
