Eye creams that contain snail slime remain popular and topbill South Korea’s selection.
South Korea suppliers of eye creams continue to take advantage of high demand for types with snail mucus. They sustain initiatives to maintain the quality of products even if this comes at a cost.
Chamos Cosmetic Co. Ltd exports snail eye creams only, which account for about 30 percent of its outbound volume. The maker breeds edible snails using organic food, a technology with a pending patent. "The method costs twice as much as typical techniques. On top of that, there is the 5 to 10 percent increase in outlay for raw materials," said Cody Kim, overseas sales chief manager. To cope with the cost challenge, Chamos adjusts the manufacturing schedule in its Sungnam factory and reduces allocation for packaging. "More than 70 percent of our production is OEM-based, which means our buyers do their own packaging."
Coson Co. Ltd is planning to replace many of its color shade materials imported from Europe and Japan with locally sourced ones, said James Kim, manager of its overseas business department.
Nexxen Cosmetic Co. Ltd will put equal focus on contents and packaging this year. Although this will raise costs by about 10 percent, the maker believes the measure will improve competitiveness.
