Abstract
The Amore Pacific Research Center was commissioned to research North Korean cosmetics’ present status and conducted a series of chemical compositional analyses on 64 cosmetic products made in North Korea. The cosmetic items were procured for eight months starting from June 2016 to January 2018 with the help of Chinese nationals, the US citizens visiting Pyongyang, and my acquaintances asking for anonymity. They purchased the products themselves from Pyongyang and Sinuiju.
