Cosmecca Korea's Common Manufacturing Technology🔗

10/10 Products (100%) - Universal Ingredients:
- Purified Water (EWG 1)
- 1,2-Hexanediol (EWG 1): Moisturizing + preservation
- Ethylhexylglycerin (EWG 2): Gentle preservative
9/10 Products (90%) - Core Ingredients:

Signature Ingredient: Capryloyl Salicylic Acid🔗
Among TOP 10 products, 7 products (70%) incorporate Capryloyl Salicylic Acid (EWG 2-5).
Capryloyl Salicylic Acid is a derivative combining salicylic acid (BHA) with fatty acids. It maintains exfoliating effects while offering lower irritation compared to salicylic acid (EWG 5-8). It serves as a gentle alternative to salicylic acid for body care products requiring mild exfoliation.

Key Findings🔗
Three Strategic Approaches🔗
Ingredient analysis of Cosmecca Korea's 27 body care products reveals three differentiated manufacturing strategies.
| Strategy | Representative Product | Key Ingredients | Target |
|---|---|---|---|
| Botanical Oil Blending | MDSpick Fragrance-Free Hand Cream | Olive Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, Sunflower Seed Oil, Coconut Palm Oil | Fragrance-sensitive, food handlers |
| Cica Complex Barrier Strengthening | Parnell Cicamanu Body Mist | Centella Extract, Madecassoside, Ceramide NP, 3-type Hyaluronic Acid | Sensitive skin, barrier damage |
| AHA/BHA Combined Exfoliation | Pation Trouble Body Mist | Glycolic Acid, Salicylic Acid, Niacinamide, Tranexamic Acid | Body blemishes, hyperpigmentation |
Ingredient Combination Characteristics🔗
Though 27 products are sold under 14 brands, the safe moisturizing base (purified water, 1,2-hexanediol, ethylhexylglycerin, glycerin, propanediol) and capryloyl salicylic acid (70% usage rate) remain consistently utilized.
This demonstrates how OEM manufacturers maintain verified base formulations while differentiating through brand-specific active ingredients (botanical oils, cica complex, AHA/BHA).
Frequently Asked Questions🔗
Q. Why do products from the same manufacturer have different prices across brands?
A. Body care products manufactured by Cosmecca Korea range from ₩6,900 (MDSpick Fragrance-Free Hand Cream) to ₩23,000 (Parnell Cicamanu Body Mist). Pricing is determined by each brand's target customer segment, specialized ingredient costs, packaging expenses, and brand positioning. Parnell Cicamanu Body Mist incorporates multiple premium functional ingredients like centella extract, ceramide NP, and 3-type hyaluronic acid, justifying the higher price point, while MDSpick Fragrance-Free Hand Cream offers a botanical oil-based simple formulation at an accessible price.
Q. Is capryloyl salicylic acid safe?
A. Capryloyl Salicylic Acid (EWG 2-5) is a derivative with lower irritation than salicylic acid (EWG 5-8). Combined with fatty acids, it maintains exfoliating benefits while reducing skin irritation. Cosmecca Korea uses this ingredient in 70% of 27 products to provide gentle exfoliation care. However, those with extreme sensitivity or BHA allergies should conduct a patch test before use.
Q. Are OEM manufacturer products lower quality?
A. OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) factories produce products for multiple brands but customize ingredient formulations and quality control according to each brand's specifications. Cosmecca Korea produces brands with different concepts like MDSpick, Parnell, and Pation while consistently using safe base ingredients (EWG 1-2 grade) and professionally formulating brand-specific differentiation ingredients (botanical oils, cica complex, AHA/BHA). The core competency of OEM manufacturers lies in ingredient stabilization technology and diverse formulation expertise.
