Frequently Asked — Body Care Wholesale Sourcing
What's the typical MOQ for Korean body care wholesale?+
Body lotions/creams: 200–500 units. Hand creams: 300–1,000 units (often gift-set boxed). Body scrubs: 100–300 units. Fragrance-line body care typically requires lower MOQ due to slower retail velocity. First-time buyers can often negotiate 20–30% MOQ reduction with documented retail plans.
Are Korean body care formulations safe for sensitive-skin retail?+
Korean body care follows the same ingredient transparency standards as their skincare lines — many brands offer fragrance-free, alcohol-free, and hypoallergenic SKUs explicitly designed for sensitive skin. Look for products marketed with centella, oat, or panthenol as primary actives. Always request the export-grade ingredient list before PO to verify against destination-market sensitivity benchmarks.
How does Korean body care pricing compare to Western brands at wholesale?+
Korean body care wholesale typically runs 30–50% below comparable Western premium brands — body lotions at $4–8/unit, hand creams at $3–6/unit, and body scrubs at $5–10/unit. The pricing advantage stems from Korea's mature ODM ecosystem and lower distribution overhead when sourced direct from brand owners. Margins for retailers typically run 50–65%.
When is the best time to source Korean body care for Q4 retail?+
Place sample orders in **April–May** and bulk POs by **early July** to clear customs in time for November/December launch. Hand creams and gift sets are the highest-velocity Q4 SKUs — Korean factories experience capacity tightness August–October, so early POs get prioritized production slots. Air-freight rush orders cut off mid-September.
Can I bundle Korean body care into gift sets for retail?+
Yes — many Korean body care brands offer pre-bundled gift sets (typically 3–5 SKUs in branded packaging) at MOQs of 200–500 sets. Custom bundling is possible for orders above 1,000 sets, with brands offering co-branded packaging. Holiday gift-set demand in Korean body care is particularly strong in Q4 retail and Mother's Day/Valentine's Day windows.
