Why are organic beauty products more expensive in South Korea but not in India?
One reason why organic beauty products are more expensive in South Korea is that thecountry has stricter regulations on the manufacture and sale of cosmetics. In addition, the government imposes a value-added tax (VAT) of 20 percent on all products, including cosmetics. This makes organic beauty products more expensive than their conventional counterparts in South Korea.
However, organic beauty products are not more expensive in India because of government regulations. In India, the price of organic cosmetics is determined by the market demand and the production costs. Therefore, organic cosmetics can be cheaper or more expensive than conventional ones, depending on the particular market conditions.
