About

We create beauty through science, and connect its value to the world.

Skin Design Lab is a beauty company built on cosmetic R&D, manufacturing and fragrance development. Grounded in cosmetics engineering and more than 24 years of research and production experience, we deliver OEM and ODM manufacturing, custom fragrance and perfume development, and aroma and wellness product planning — the range of solutions a brand needs to compete.

Our Mission

We don't stop at making a good product.

Our role is to connect manufacturing, regulation, distribution and market entry into a single platform, so that a brand can keep growing once it reaches a global market — not just launch into one.

Our Vision

Creating Beauty.
Connecting Global Markets.

We are more than a manufacturer — we are a global partner in our clients' growth. Through our Canadian subsidiary we run a Global Beauty Expansion Platform that takes Korean beauty brands into North America, covering everything from market analysis through regulatory response and local launch.

Cosmetic Manufacturing

We support the entire manufacturing process — brand planning, formula development, OEM and ODM production, and quality control.

Fragrance & Wellness Development

We research and develop fragrances, perfumes, aromatherapy and wellness products, combining sensory craft with formulation science.

Global Beauty Expansion Platform

Through our Canadian subsidiary we run a platform that takes Korean beauty brands into the North American market.
