Korean aesthetic medicine and cosmetic products, maximum safety
In just a few years, Korean beauty standards have established themselves around the world, leading to a real social phenomenon, K beauty. Far from being a fashion effect, it is the appropriation of a culture which has placed beauty and skin care at the heart of ancestral traditions. This is why Korean aesthetic medicine or cosmetic products present such a high degree of quality and innovation. However, some European consumers are sometimes apprehensive when we talk about treatments from Asia. However, this is an error regarding K beauty. Find out how to choose the best Korean aesthetic products, and why they are at least equivalent to European or American standards.
Why choose quality Korean K-Beauty products?
The growing success of K-beauty around the world can be explained by Koreans' real know-how in cosmetic and medical care. Traditional plants have since been supplemented by innovative molecules, giving increasingly effective results with guaranteed safety. But this success has a downside, the growing development of counterfeits to ride on public demand. Quality, safety and effectiveness are then no longer there. Worse, certain products can be dangerous, sometimes with the risk of a failed hyaluronic acid injection because the product lacked purity or was not sterile. You only need to browse reviews of aesthetic medicine or cosmetic treatments to see that the danger exists. In Europe, many products such as injectable hyaluronic acid do not have the status of medicine, but that of medical device (only botulinum toxin currently has marketing authorization as an aesthetic medicine). However, a serious professional will use products that meet all the standards of the pharmaceutical industry. The skin is both a health capital and a beauty capital: it is therefore necessary to reserve products with proven safety, without danger, and with demonstrated effectiveness, guarantee of a visible result. This is exactly what Korean aesthetic medicine products or K beauty cosmetics offer, meeting certain standards.
KFDA approval: the best Korean aesthetic medicine products
The Korea Food and Drug Administration or KFDA proves to be the equivalent of the major international control agencies, the best known of which surely remain the FDA in the USA (Food & Drug Administration) or the ANSM in France (National Medicines Safety Agency). The motto of the KFDA, “Your safety is our standard”, finally takes up the founding principle of Hippocrates, Primum non nocere.. These independent agencies have the authority to monitor the safety and effectiveness of products placed on the market. This verification concerns not only the active ingredients, but also their means of production (quality, purity, hygiene, batch traceability, selection of raw materials, etc.). The Korean agency is renowned for its great rigor and intransigence, hence fraud is much rarer than in our countries. In addition to the fines, another element proves to be very dissuasive, the feeling of shame that every Korean feels when lying or cheating. In addition to the control of medical devices such as hyaluronic acid injection, the KFDA has set up a division dedicated to cosmetics since 2019, attached to the Biopharmacy and Medicinal Plants office. This explains the high quality of K beauty cosmetics, and this high level of requirements in terms of safety and effectiveness. Any product must meet a rigorous scientific process to benefit from KFDA approval.
CPNP control: the best Korean cosmetic products K beauty
THE CPNP (Cosmetic Products Notification Portal) is an electronic alert system developed by European authorities, intended primarily for cosmetic, beauty and health professionals. It falls within the framework of Regulation EC 1223/2009 of the European Union (Regulation EC 1223/2009), relating to all the requirements intended for cosmetic products made available to consumers on the common market of the Union European. European legislation has prioritized safety and effectiveness, requiring manufacturers to provide a complete file beforehand. In order to provide real-time monitoring, an electronic portal has been developed to inform of any changes or anomalies. This information evolves with scientific data, integrating new scientific data regarding consumer safety, as recently with nanoparticles. The legislator has thus defined three types of rights holder, able to access these notifications at any time: - the competent authorities, whose function is to monitor the market and inform consumers, - anti-poison centers or other establishments similar medical purposes, for information or declaration purposes; -cosmetic professionals, and in particular distributors. Any serious professional distributing Korean cosmetic products will therefore register on the CPNP portal, to permanently ensure the safety of the K beauty cosmetics thus distributed. It is a guarantee of reliability and control, both for individuals and professionals, under the control of European authorities, whose seriousness and requirements in terms of health safety are known.
CE marking, a European consumer guarantee
To circulate on European territory, any product governed by one or more European regulations must bear the “CE” marking. It guarantees its compliance with the essential security requirements imposed. As such, Korean cosmetic products sold legally in Europe, such as Korean aesthetic medicine devices, must be subject to this marking. This is what ultimately makes Korean aesthetic medicine products and K beauty cosmetics sold in France almost safer than European products. In fact, they ultimately benefit from double approval (KFDA in Korea, CE marking in Europe), therefore even stricter standards, and real-time monitoring (CPNP portal). By purchasing these approved products from an official distributor, neither the professional nor the individual takes the slightest risk. They can thus safely benefit from the spectacular effects of K beauty to enhance the skin and face, with Korean cosmetics or aesthetic medicine products universally recognized and appreciated for their innovation and premium quality.
