Skincare formulas ready to customise
GDK's formula proposals give your line a head start. Each is built around a clear texture story and a signature ingredient:
Rice Milky Toner
Rice bran extract in a milk-like toner that delivers deep moisture and a glowy finish; light enough to layer several times.
Firming Bean Serum
Korean black soybean seed extract in a bouncy essence texture that absorbs fast and finishes fresh, for firm, resilient-looking skin.
Age Signal Exosome Ampoule
Ginseng root extract rich in ginsenosides and saponins; a deep-coloured ampoule that absorbs quickly without stickiness.
Fermented Herbal Nourishing Cream
Cheongjindan, a blend of 12 fermented Korean herbal ingredients, in a light pink cream with a silky finish.
Phyto Peptide Eye Serum
A light water-serum with a high level of moisturising ingredients, paired with a massage-ball applicator for the eye area.

Containers developed with the formula
Container, package and formula developed in the same step.
At step 4 the container and package are developed together with the formula, so the texture works with the dispensing system. GDK proposes applicator containers (rollers, gua sha and massage balls), reduced-plastic paper-PE tubes and refill systems. See packaging options.
Quality you can document
Skincare is manufactured at GDK's Incheon site, certified for CGMP (all processes) by Korea's Ministry of Food and Drug Safety and for ISO 22716 and ISO 9001. Quality test items are agreed with you in step 3, products are assessed for usability, compatibility, stability and safety in step 5, and raw materials and packaging components are inspected in step 8 before production starts. GDK's cosmetics production facility is also EVE VEGAN certified — useful if you are building a vegan skincare line.
