Osong 2026 Connecting French Beauty Professionals with Korean Innovation
On October 23, 2026, the FKCCI accompanied a delegation of French beauty industry professionals to Cosmetic & Beauty Expo Osong Korea 2026, creating opportunities to discover Korean innovations and connect with potential business partners.
From skincare and ingredients to beauty devices and packaging, Cosmetic & Beauty Expo Osong Korea 2026 brought together companies from across the beauty industry at the OSCO Cheongju Osong Convention Center. Held from October 22 to 24, the exhibition offered a setting for French buyers and distributors to explore the diversity of Korea’s beauty sector.
Through its delegation and B2B matchmaking program, the FKCCI helped connect French market expertise with Korean products, technologies, and know-how.
Eight Companies Exploring New Connections
The delegation brought together eight companies reflecting a range of activities within the beauty industry: Hallyu Skin, IKWHIA, Jeju Skin, KAHNG, K-Youty, MY-KARE, NÜD By House of Beauty, and Riviera Cosmétiques.
Spanning skincare, product selection, distribution, professional training, and beauty treatments, these participants approached the exhibition with complementary perspectives. Their participation highlighted the variety of connections that can bring French and Korean beauty businesses together.
From Product Discovery to Business Discussions
The program combined an exhibition visit with B2B matchmaking sessions between selected Korean beauty companies and French buyers or distributors. These meetings provided an opportunity to discover products, discuss market needs, and explore potential sourcing and distribution partnerships.
Direct exchanges with Korean companies also allowed participants to deepen their understanding of the local beauty ecosystem and assess opportunities relevant to their activities.
Supporting French-Korean Beauty Partnerships
Alongside the FKCCI conference held on October 22 on France as a gateway to Europe for K-Beauty brands, this initiative addressed both sides of the relationship: supporting Korean brands interested in Europe and helping French professionals identify partners in Korea.
Through these complementary activities, the FKCCI continues to support business connections and international development across the French and Korean beauty industries.
