1-Minute Safety Checklist for K-Beauty Products Online
Share
- Legal notice check: Scroll all the way to the footer of the website. Is there a German address and a tax identification number? If, yes then you know that the company is within the EU and EU regulations apply.
- Language check: Are warnings and usage tips available in German? Official EU products can often be identified by their German label stickers.
- Price reality check: If the serum is 80% cheaper than usual, it's probably a fake. Quality comes at a price, even in Korea.
- Full transparency: A good shop lists all ingredients (INCI) directly on the product page. This way you know what's in it before you order.
- Shipping location: Is it shipped from Germany or the EU? This guarantees that the goods have already cleared customs and EU security checks. No hidden costs or long delivery times.
- CPNP registration: A safe product always has a responsible address within the EU printed on it. This is your guarantee that someone is liable for safety and registered in the CPNP portal. (Source: Import into the EU)
