Cosmure UK Ltd is the UK Responsible Person for cosmetic products of Korean brands sold in Great Britain.
Cosmetic products sold in England, Scotland and Wales need a Responsible Person established in the United Kingdom, a notification to the Office for Product Safety and Standards (SCPN) and a Product Information File in English. If a label shows Cosmure UK Ltd (Croydon) as the Responsible Person, that is us.
