Starting a skincare brand shouldn’t feel like climbing a mountain.
But for a long time, it did. We’ve heard from hundreds of aspiring founders who wanted to launch their own skincare line — but were held back by high MOQs, long development timelines, and the overwhelming complexity of working with overseas manufacturers.
At MAYK, we’ve been paying attention. And we realized something had to change.
That’s why we created our Retail-Ready Formulations service — a brand-new way to manufacture Korean skincare products, without the usual barriers.
Retail-Ready Formulations are exactly what they sound like: professionally developed, Korea-made skincare products that are ready to go — all they’re missing is your label.
These are premium formulations curated from top-tier, GMP-certified Korean labs. Every product in our catalog has already passed stability testing, undergone quality assurance, and is production-ready. We've even carefully curated our catalog based on trends and demand.
We’ve handled the heavy lifting. Now you can focus on building your brand.
Too often, promising skincare startups stall before they even get started.
We spoke with indie founders, estheticians, retailers, influencers, people with great ideas, meaningful goals, and deep knowledge of their customers, but who didn’t have the resources or time to navigate full-scale manufacturing.
They needed something simple, low-risk, and high-quality. So we built it.
With our Retail-Ready service, you can now start with just 50 units per SKU — the lowest MOQ in the K-beauty industry — and still benefit from Korea’s globally renowned skincare expertise.
First-time beauty founders who want to test the waters
Creators and influencers launching limited edition drops
Spas, clinics, or boutiques introducing private label lines
Brands validating their idea before scaling
Anyone who wants to launch without diving into full R&D
We’ve taken the guesswork out of launching a skincare product. Don’t overthink it — this doesn’t have to be a long, complicated journey. Just browse our catalog, find something you like, and order a sample to test. If it’s a good fit, you can place your first order starting at just 50 pieces. The more you order, the better the unit price — simple as that.

By offering Retail-Ready Formulations, we’ve made it possible for more entrepreneurs around the world to tap into Korea’s advanced skincare industry — without needing big budgets, long lead times, or complicated processes.
You shouldn’t need to be a chemist to start a skincare brand. You just need the right partner.
We’re excited to be that partner.
