Who is behind Pastoro K-Beauty?
Pastoro K-Beauty is a trading name of Pastoro Trading Ltd, a UK wholesale and ecommerce company registered in England and Wales (company number 14020166). Pastoro Trading has been buying and selling Korean beauty products for several years, and Pastoro K-Beauty is its dedicated Korean beauty wholesale and sourcing service.
Who can apply for a trade account?
Any UK business that resells or professionally uses beauty products: independent shops, online retailers, marketplace sellers, salons and clinics, pharmacies and distributors. We supply businesses only, not personal shoppers.
Do I need a trade account to get prices?
No. If you just want prices for particular brands or products, send a wholesale pricing request with the items you’re interested in. The trade account application is for businesses planning ongoing orders.
Do you supply Amazon sellers?
Yes, Amazon and other marketplace sellers are welcome. Some brands set their own rules about where their products can be sold online, so tell us which channels you sell on and we’ll take that into account when we reply.
Can online retailers order?
Yes. Online-only retailers, whether on their own website or a marketplace, can request pricing and apply in the same way as physical shops.
Can you source specific Korean beauty brands?
Tell us the brands and products you want and we will look into sourcing and availability for each one. We can’t guarantee every brand is available to us, and we’ll say clearly which items we can and can’t supply.
How do I receive wholesale pricing?
Send a wholesale pricing request listing the brands and products you want. Pricing is quoted per enquiry, based on the products, quantities and sourcing route involved.
Are there minimum order quantities?
Minimums depend on the brand and the product. Some lines can be supplied in smaller quantities and others only in case or carton quantities. We’ll confirm any minimum alongside the quote.
How long does the sourcing process take?
It depends on whether a product is available in the UK or needs to be sourced from Korea, and on the quantities involved. We’ll give you an expected timescale for each enquiry before you commit to an order.
Can Korean manufacturers contact you about distribution?
Yes. Korean brands and manufacturers interested in the UK market can contact us through our brand partnership page. We review every enquiry and reply to those we think we can help.
How do I start working with you?
Send a wholesale pricing request for the products you’re interested in, or apply for a trade account if you’re planning regular orders. We’ll review it and contact you by email.
