Meanwhile, the coronavirus infection-19 spread rapidly in Daegu area around the time the test was held, so Daegu canceled the test in consultation with the city for the safety of test takers. Corona19 is planning to hold the next qualification test in time for the frequent and stable spread, so as soon as the test schedule is finalized, we will notify you via the Ministry of Food and Drug Administration website ( 및) and the website of the customized cosmetics dispenser qualification exam (ccmm.kpc.or.kr). The “tailored cosmetics dispenser” that passed this time will serve to mix colors, spices and other ingredients in the contents of the cosmetics according to individual diagnosis results, reflecting the individual’s skin condition and preference at the custom cosmetics market.
As the first national qualification test conducted by the Ministry of Food and Drug Administration, it is expected that demand for customized cosmetics will increase further if the market for customized cosmetics expands.
The KFDA said it hopes that ‘tailored cosmetics’ will lead to changes not only in Korea but also around the world to promote K-beauty once again, and that it will work with the KFDA and the cosmetics industry to ensure that safe and high-quality cosmetics are distributed.
