Recent reports have stated that non-trademarked cosmetic goods are being bought and sold in North Korean markets. According to a source that spoke to Radio Free Asia, the non-trademarked cosmetics are of reputable quality and significantly cheaper than comparable name-brand products produced by Chinese and South Korean companies. It has been said that some sellers of the non-trademarked cosmetics have been over charging their customers under the guise of providing domestic cosmetics. However, there is not quality guarantee for the non-trademarked cosmetics so more affluent shoppers still prefer South Korean cosmetics. High-ranking government officials, part members and company employees continue to use South Korean shampoos and lotions.
