Disclaimer

The Launch K-Beauty manufacturer directory includes listings sourced from public trade databases (KITA, KCIA, KOTRA, BuyKorea), business registries, publicly accessible websites, Google Maps and Naver Maps data, and direct submissions by manufacturers.

We make reasonable efforts to verify listing information, including checking publicly available business registration records and certifications where possible. However, we cannot and do not guarantee that every listing is:

• Current: Business addresses, certifications, MOQs, pricing, lead times, and contact details change. Information may be out of date.
• Complete: Listings may not reflect all products, capabilities, or certifications a manufacturer holds.
• Accurate: Self-reported or third-party-sourced information may contain errors.
• Endorsed: Inclusion in the directory is not an endorsement of any manufacturer’s quality, reliability, or compliance.

Before entering into any business relationship with a manufacturer found through this directory, you are solely responsible for:

• Independently verifying the manufacturer’s legal existence, business registration, and good standing in Korea
• Confirming current certifications (GMP, ISO 22716, FDA registration, EU CPNP, etc.) directly with the manufacturer or relevant certification body — certifications expire and may not be reflected in our listings
• Verifying quality standards through factory audits, third-party inspection, or sample testing before placing production orders
• Confirming current MOQs, pricing, lead times, and capacity directly with the manufacturer — these change based on market conditions
• Conducting your own legal, financial, and due diligence review of any prospective manufacturing partner

Certification badges displayed on listings (GMP, ISO 22716, FDA, EU CPNP, halal, vegan, EWG) are based on self-reported information or publicly available records at the time of data collection. These certifications:

• Expire and require renewal — a manufacturer may have held a certification historically without currently maintaining it
• May apply to specific product lines or facilities only, not the manufacturer’s entire operation
• Should be verified by requesting current certificate copies directly from the manufacturer and confirming with the issuing body

Launch K-Beauty does not act as an agent, broker, or guarantor for any transaction between you and a manufacturer. We do not verify the terms of any agreement you reach, and we are not a party to any contract you enter into with a listed manufacturer.

We are not responsible for any financial loss, production failures, quality defects, delivery delays, or other damages arising from your business dealings with manufacturers discovered through this directory.

Our consulting services provide practical guidance based on Opepe’s direct experience in the Korean cosmetics industry, including manufacturer relationships, export processes, and brand launch strategy.

Consulting advice is business guidance only — it is not:

• Legal advice: We are not attorneys and do not provide legal opinions on contracts, intellectual property, regulatory compliance, or any other legal matter. Consult a qualified attorney for legal advice.
• Financial or investment advice: Nothing we provide constitutes financial advice, investment advice, or recommendations regarding business financing. Consult a qualified financial advisor.
• Regulatory compliance certification: We do not certify that any product formulation, labeling, or production process is compliant with FDA, EU, Korean, or any other regulatory requirements. Consult a qualified regulatory affairs professional.
• Quality assurance certification: We do not certify product quality, safety, or performance.

Business outcomes depend on a wide range of factors including your execution, market conditions, competitive landscape, funding, regulatory approvals, and factors entirely outside our control.

We make no representations, warranties, or guarantees that:

• Following our advice will result in a successful product launch, business relationship, or profitable outcome
• Any manufacturer introduction will result in a completed production agreement
• Revenue projections, market size estimates, or competitive analyses provided in consulting will prove accurate

Past results for other clients are illustrative and not a guarantee of future results for your specific situation.
