Private Label Skincare Manufacturer for US Brands
Hong Shin Cosmetics is a contract manufacturer for US beauty brands that want clean, high-performance skincare without building a factory. Private label, OEM, and ODM, with K-beauty formulation depth.
We make your products in Taiwan and South Korea under ISO 22716 cosmetic GMP, from a US FDA-registered facility, and we help you stay compliant with MoCRA, the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act.
Built for the US market
The US is the largest indie-beauty market in the world, and also the one where compliance rules just changed. Under MoCRA, brands and manufacturers face new facility registration, product listing, and safety-substantiation requirements. We build that into the project instead of leaving you to sort it out after the sample arrives.
- US FDA-registered facility, the accurate claim. The FDA registers facilities and regulates OTC drugs like sunscreen, it does not approve cosmetics.
- MoCRA-ready facility registration, product listing, and safety records.
- OTC pathway experience for SPF and other actives, plus the 25(b) route for exempt products.
- Made in Taiwan and South Korea, with genuine K-beauty active formulation, not a single-factory reseller.
MoCRA and US compliance, handled as part of the build
MoCRA raised the bar for everyone selling cosmetics in the US. Facilities must register, products must be listed, and brands need safety substantiation on file. A manufacturer that already operates to these standards saves you the most expensive kind of delay: discovering a compliance gap after you have paid for inventory. We map your formula, claims, and target states to the right pathway before sampling.
What we make
Face care (cleansers, toners, serums, ampoules, creams, eye care, masks), body care, sun care and SPF, pet wellness, and sachet sampling for low-commitment market tests. One partner across the categories a growing US brand needs.
K-beauty actives US shoppers are searching for
Our South Korea capability gives your brand direct access to the actives driving US demand right now: PDRN, peptides, niacinamide, bakuchiol, vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, centella, and ceramides. We formulate them to stay stable and compliant for the US market.
MOQs and lead times
We run two production origins. Our Taiwan lines are built for smaller retail runs and are the usual starting point for a first US launch. Our South Korea lines carry higher setup requirements and suit proven formulas and larger volumes.

Frequently asked questions
Does the FDA approve cosmetics?
No. The FDA registers cosmetic facilities and regulates OTC drug products such as sunscreen. It does not approve cosmetics. We operate from an FDA-registered facility and support the OTC pathway where your formula needs it.
What is MoCRA and does it affect my brand?
MoCRA is the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act. It requires facility registration, product listing, and safety substantiation for cosmetics sold in the US. We build these requirements into the manufacturing project.
Can I sell skincare made in Asia in the US?
Yes. Products made in Taiwan and South Korea can be sold in the US when the facility is registered and the MoCRA requirements are met. We manufacture under ISO 22716 and from a US FDA-registered facility.
What is the minimum order?
Retail formats start from 1,500 units per SKU on our Taiwan lines and 3,000 units per SKU on our South Korea lines. Bulk semi-finished formula starts from 50 kg. Sachet sampling is available for a lower-commitment market test.
Why is the South Korea minimum higher than Taiwan?
The two origins run different production setups. Our Taiwan lines are built for smaller retail runs, so they start at 1,500 units. Our South Korea lines carry higher setup requirements and start at 3,000 units. Most first-time brands start in Taiwan and move volume to Korea once a formula is proven.
