While the current Act requires that the name, ingredients, and price of cosmetics be stated and labeled on the primary or secondary package of cosmetics, it requires that the main items such as the use-by date be labeled on the primary package, the packaging container which comes into direct contact with the contents of cosmetics.
This causes consumer inconveniences such as consumers have to open the secondary package to check the use-by date because the use-by dates of cosmetics, essential information, are omitted in the secondary package or that a consumer has to exchange or refund a cosmetic product if he/she finds that the use-by date has expired after purchasing it.
Therefore, the amendment aims to promote consumer convenience and prevent safety accidents caused by using out-of-date cosmetics, requiring labeling the use-by date or the best-before date after opening cosmetics on both the primary and secondary packages (proviso of Article 10 (2) newly inserted).

- Require labeling the use-by date on both the primary and secondary packages (Article 10 (2))
