The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety is set to revise the 'Cosmetics Act' on April 1, 2025, to designate ‘Cosmetics Day’ as a legal holiday, with the first official celebration to be held on September 5, 2025, at Coex Magok in Gangseo-gu, Seoul. Under the theme 'K-Cosmetics Paints the World,' this grand event will include numerous participants from the government and industry sectors.
At the seminars and forums accompanying the ceremony, there will be discussions on the regulations and export procedures of major export countries, the latest AI technologies in customized cosmetics, and sustainable industry ecosystem strategies. This event will be a valuable opportunity for domestic cosmetics companies and professionals preparing for global expansion to gather practical information and strategies.
Public Participation Events and ‘Seoul Beauty Week’
Various public participation events will be held to further promote Cosmetics Day. The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety is conducting a quiz event titled ‘When is Cosmetics Day?’ from August 13 to 22 via their official Instagram account, with small prizes for winners. Following that, starting from August 25, there will be several national support events.
In collaboration with the Seoul Metropolitan Government, a ‘Seoul Beauty Week’ will feature promotional booths showcasing industry changes, ongoing policies and systems led by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, and the background for establishing Cosmetics Day. Additionally, experience programs and events for general consumers will be available, expected to widen engagement between citizens and the industry sectors.
Active Support and Participation from the Industry
The cosmetics industry is also showing active willingness to participate by conducting various promotions in line with the establishment of this legal holiday. Many major domestic cosmetics brands are running discount events and comment participation promotions through their online malls, focusing on elevating consumer interest in K-Beauty.
This public-private collaborative effort is expected to enhance the symbolic significance of the holiday, increase its potential to become an annual event, and strengthen the driving force for domestic brands to venture abroad. It is establishing an important cornerstone for the domestic cosmetics industry to move towards a sustainable and competitive structure.
Enhancing Cosmetics Safety and Overseas Expansion Strategies
The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety plans to continuously enhance the institutional foundation to secure cosmetics safety and strengthen global competitiveness. This includes the introduction of a science-based safety assessment system, the establishment of specialized institutions, and strengthened cooperation with regulatory authorities of major export countries.
These policies will help not only in improving the ability to respond to quality standards required for exports but also in facilitating global certification acquisitions and passing hygiene regulations. Ultimately, it contributes to securing a self-sustaining growth base by significantly enhancing the overall export competitiveness of the domestic cosmetics industry.
