The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety had announced that a system for ‘customized cosmetics sales business’ would be implemented starting from March, 2020. Korea government also announced a support plan to improve customized cosmetics as a new growth engine for K-beauty. With the introduction of the system, it is expected that professional jobs will increase like customized cosmetics technical managers, and interest of subdividing customized cosmetics(refillable cosmetics) is growing in terms of the environment. However, with the introduction and implementation of the system, there is a need for institutional supplementation to secure quality of the products and activate related industries. In the case of the current system, there are the following problems. First, customized cosmetics technical manager qualification exam is limited to a written test. Second, there are no standards of mixing raw material that result in the manifestation of efficacy and effectiveness. Third, it is difficult for small businesses to enter the market because of high initial costs and technical limitations. Therefore, performance test has to be added in customized cosmetics technical manager qualification exam. Also, quality and safety can be improved by prohibiting composing directly raw materials that result in the manifestation of efficacy and effectiveness in customized cosmetics sales place. For the development of the industry, support of government such as facilities and DB is needed, and it is necessary to ease the obligation to hire customized cosmetics technical manager. Finally, reasonable regulatory changes are needed to ensure the quality and safety of customized cosmetics and to establish itself as a policy that reflects the market situation. If customized cosmetics sales system will be operated smoothly, it is expected that consumers will have opportunity to choose more diverse cosmetics.
