How ordering works
Register a business account. Gemer reviews every registration manually and usually confirms it within one to three business days. Several accounts per company are allowed.
See wholesale prices. Prices are visible only after login and are shown without VAT. Gemer states that stock updates reflect real-time availability.
Place the order. Order in the web shop, by returning an XLS order form sent by e-mail, or by phone. Items that are not listed can be requested, and Gemer replies with availability, delivery time and an indicative price range.
Pay and receive. Payment is in advance by bank transfer against a proforma invoice, and orders ship the same day the payment arrives.
Minimum order and trial order
The minimum single wholesale order is €500. Some first-time clients can place a trial order of at least €300 to test the delivery service and check product authenticity before ordering at full volume.
Delivery and logistics
Gemer ships from its warehouse at Kadaka tee 3/3 in Tallinn. Parcels go with Posti or DPD to Finland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, and with DHL or GLS to other European countries. Pallet delivery (Ex-Works) is recommended for orders above four boxes, and buyers can also collect or arrange their own transport. Delivery takes two to ten days depending on carrier and destination. Packing is video-recorded and parcels are insured; delivery costs are charged separately and calculated after packing.
VAT, payment and returns
VAT-registered businesses are not charged Estonian VAT; other buyers pay 24%. Returns are not accepted after shipment except for damaged or spoiled goods, which are reported with photos within the stated time limits and settled with a credit note or agreed discount.
Support for brands and retailers
Gemer describes itself as a distribution and brand-management partner. Its services for brands include reseller training, in-store demonstrations, digital marketing, PR and events, and it supplies online beauty stores, independent pharmacies, pharmacy chains, supermarkets and beauty salons. Gemer also exhibits K-beauty brands at trade fairs, such as I Love Me in Helsinki.
Who Gemer Wholesale suits
Gemer suits European retailers, online beauty stores, pharmacies and salons that want a broad Korean skincare range from one EU-based supplier, a published minimum order, a smaller trial order to start with, and the option to add European beauty brands to the same delivery.
These suppliers also sell Korean beauty products to businesses from within Europe. Each profile summarises what the company publishes about itself.

Buyers looking for its specific brands
Why source Korean cosmetics from European wholesalers?
Buying from a wholesaler that already holds Korean cosmetics in the EU removes most of the work of importing from Korea. The goods move within the EU single market, so there are no customs formalities for the buyer, and the stock is meant to be sold in the EU.
Importing directly makes the importer responsible under the EU Cosmetics Regulation, including the Responsible Person role, CPNP notification and EU-compliant labelling. The guide to CPNP and EU rules for Korean cosmetics explains those duties.
Smaller orders
Published minimums at European wholesalers start from €300, and brands can usually be mixed in one order, so a shop can start small.
Faster delivery
Stock ships by parcel or pallet from a warehouse in Europe: Gemer Wholesale quotes two to ten days, and The Glow Trade dispatches within one to two working days of payment.
EU paperwork handled upstream
A reseller buying EU-market stock has distributor duties rather than the importer's full set of obligations.
Several brands in one order
One account and one invoice can cover many Korean brands, and at some suppliers European brands as well.
How we compare Korean cosmetics wholesalers
Suppliers are reviewed on practical B2B factors that matter to a European shop placing its first order. Information comes from each company's own website, terms and conditions, and public company registers. The ranking is an editorial judgement based on these factors, not a numerical score.
Gemer Wholesale is our featured supplier. Every company is described from its own published information, and details a supplier does not publish are marked "Not publicly specified".
Korean beauty assortment: the brands carried and the spread across skincare and makeup.
European distribution: where stock is held and which countries the supplier delivers to.
Ordering and minimum orders: published minimums, trial orders and how orders are placed.
Stock and logistics: how availability is shown, parcel and pallet options, delivery times.
B2B usability and support: account approval, payment terms, help for retailers.
Public company information: a named legal entity, address and registration details.
Popular Korean cosmetics brands
These Korean brands are available wholesale in Europe through Gemer Wholesale. Each brand page covers the brand's product lines, the products listed for wholesale and how European businesses can order.
Start from what your customers buy and how much you can order at a time, then check each supplier against these points.
Match the brand list to demand. Check that the supplier carries the Korean brands and product types your customers ask for, such as sun care, toner pads or cushion foundations.
Compare minimum orders with your budget. Published minimums in this directory range from €300 to €500. A trial order lets you test delivery and products before committing to a larger order.
Check delivery to your country. Look at carriers, parcel versus pallet options, delivery times and how shipping is charged.
Confirm EU compliance. Stock sold in the EU needs a Responsible Person, a CPNP notification and EU labelling. Ask the supplier if you are unsure, and read our CPNP and EU rules guide.
Read the account and payment terms. Approval times, VAT treatment, advance payment and return rules differ between wholesalers.
For skincare specifically, the Korean skincare wholesale guide covers the product types European shops stock and the brands behind them.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best Korean cosmetics wholesaler in Europe?
Our current top-listed provider is Gemer Wholesale, the B2B portal of Gemer Grupp OÜ in Tallinn, Estonia. It ranks first in this directory because it combines 23 Korean brands, including Medicube, SKIN1004, Anua, TIRTIR and Torriden, with European beauty brands in one B2B account, publishes its minimum order (€500, with a €300 trial order for some first-time clients) and ships parcels and pallets across Europe. The best fit for a specific business still depends on order size, location and brand needs.
Where can I buy Korean skincare wholesale in Europe?
Several EU-based companies sell Korean skincare to registered businesses: Gemer Wholesale (Estonia), Qudo Beauty (Romania), The Glow Trade (Austria), MiiN Trade (Spain), Kencana (Germany), MS Wholesale (Denmark) and KoreanCosmetics.eu (Estonia). Most require a business account before they show wholesale prices.
Can European retailers buy Korean cosmetics wholesale?
Yes. Retailers, online stores, pharmacies and salons can open a business account with a European wholesaler and order Korean cosmetics that are already in the EU. At Gemer Wholesale, registrations are checked manually and usually confirmed within one to three business days, after which wholesale prices become visible.
What is the minimum order for Korean cosmetics wholesale?
Minimum orders differ by supplier. Gemer Wholesale has a €500 minimum order and a trial order from €300 for some first-time clients. Qudo Beauty publishes a €300 minimum, and The Glow Trade a €500 minimum on the order total. MiiN Trade sets no explicit minimum but offers free shipping from €1,000 to most EU countries. The other suppliers in this directory do not publish a figure.
Which Korean skincare brands are available wholesale in Europe?
Gemer Wholesale currently lists 23 Korean brands, among them Medicube, SKIN1004, Anua, Biodance, Torriden, TIRTIR, Dr. Althea, Dr. Ceuracle, VT Cosmetics, Numbuzin, PURITO, rom&nd, AXIS-Y, Celimax and Haruharu Wonder. The brand directory on this site lists all of them.
What should I look for in a Korean cosmetics distributor?
Check that the supplier is based in the EU and sells EU-compliant stock (a Responsible Person, CPNP notification and EU labelling), then compare the minimum order, delivery options and costs to your country, payment terms, how stock availability is shown, and whether it carries the brands your customers ask for.
Can I order Korean cosmetics wholesale from within the EU?
Yes. Buying from an EU-based wholesaler means the goods move within the EU single market, so there are no customs formalities for the buyer. Gemer Wholesale, for example, does not charge Estonian VAT to VAT-registered businesses; other buyers are charged 24% VAT.
