KOREAN COSMETICS BUYER GUIDE
Stock formula vs custom formula
Decide how much formulation work your concept needs and which tests follow from that decision.
THE BUYER'S VIEW
ALL GUIDESWhat a stock formula offers
A stock formula is an existing development platform, not a promise that every ingredient, claim or market is already approved for your project. It can be a practical starting point if its texture and performance align with your brief.
What custom development adds
Custom formulation gives more room to shape ingredient direction, sensory feel, shade, fragrance and performance. It also introduces prototype review, revision and project-specific testing decisions. Greater customization may affect cost, quantity and launch timing.
How to compare them
Request samples against the same benchmark and evaluate the formula in its intended package. Confirm changes allowed, intellectual-property terms, stability and compatibility work, destination-market requirements and the approval point before production.
