K-Beauty Expo Korea 2026, Seoul
Our booth at K-Beauty Expo Korea 2026 in Seoul: Korean-language panels, specification cards on the counter, and the certification questions that come first in this market.

K-Beauty Expo Korea 2026 was the last of our three 2026 shows, held 15–17 October at Kintex in Seoul. It is the one show where the booth itself had to be localised, not just the products.
The booth was in Korean
The panels carried Korean headlines alongside English: EMS Derm Flow Pen, Microcrystalline Infuser, V-face tightening device, high-pressure atomising intradermal device, and the 4-in-1 red light vibration heat therapy belt.
That is not a translation exercise. A Korean buyer reads the panel before they talk to anyone, and a booth that only exists in English reads as a supplier who has not sold here before.
Specification cards, not brochures
Each model on the counter had a small card in front of it with the specification rather than a stack of brochures at the end of the booth. In practice that is what a show is for: the buyer photographs the card, and the follow-up email writes itself.
What Korean buyers ask first
In this market the certification question arrives before the price question: which certificate covers this model, who issued it, and does the scope match the Korean requirement for the category.
The certification page lists what we hold and which models each document covers. If a model is not covered for a market, we say so at the booth rather than after the order.
What we showed
The 2026 booth centred on the two families that carry most of our project work — nano-microcrystal infusion platforms and the EMS/RF facial platforms. Both were presented as platforms: which parts can be changed, what the tooling investment looks like, and what certification the target market requires.
