South Korea has established a cosmetic safety assessment system through the partial amendment to the Cosmetics Act (Act No. 21302, promulgated on December 30, 2025). Under the new system, cosmetic responsible sellers are required to prepare and retain product safety assessment documentation reviewed by a safety assessor before products are placed on the market or distributed.
