Intercos Korea Inc. is the South Korean subsidiary of the global cosmetics‐contract manufacturer Intercos Group. It serves as Intercos’ strategic Asian hub, combining R&D, innovation, and manufacturing under the group’s global standards.The Korean branch was originally part of a joint venture with Shinsegae International (known as “Shinsegae Intercos Korea”), but since mid-2020, Intercos Group acquired the remaining share, making it fully owned by Intercos.

Core Strengths

  • Full-spectrum cosmetic manufacturing: skin-care, color cosmetics, personal care.
  • Global standards of quality, safety, innovation and scalability — consistent with Intercos Group’s worldwide operations.
  • Asian Beauty “hub” with local R&D and manufacturing — which may help in adapting formulations to Asian consumers.

Business Model

  • Intercos Korea operates as a contract manufacturer / OEM–ODM provider. It takes cosmetic formulations, develops them (or jointly develops), produces, and packages final products for cosmetic brands. It does not sell under its own beauty-brand (or at least does not publicly market its own branded cosmetics).
  • For clients (brands) typically other cosmetics or beauty companies — Intercos Korea offers end-to-end services: R&D, formulation, packaging design, production, regulatory compliance. This mirrors the global “from concept to reality” service model of Intercos Group.

Why it Matters for you (B2B/Distribution perspective)

If you are a brand (or planning to launch a brand) targeting Asian markets or global markets with “K-beauty”-style cosmetics, Intercos Korea offers access to:

  • High-quality manufacturing aligned with global standards — useful for export or multi-market distribution.
  • Local R&D team experienced with Asian consumer preferences — which may help adapt formulations/sunscreen/skin-type considerations.
  • Packaging + full supply-chain handling (formulation, production, filling, packaging, compliance) — reducing overhead for brand owners.
  • Thus, as a distributor or private-label brand, working with Intercos Korea could help you get scalable, quality manufacturing without building your own factory.
