KST Distribution

What does UK Responsible Person status mean for our brand?

Under GB Regulation 1223/2009, every cosmetic product sold in the UK must have a designated Responsible Person legally accountable to the regulator for its safety and compliance. KST holds that status directly.

How do you protect our pricing and positioning?

As an authorised distributor, we hold the standing to enforce your brand's standards. We maintain agreed pricing and MAP discipline, keep listings accurate and on-brand, and act against grey-market or non-compliant resale where we can. Your brand is represented in the UK the way you would represent it yourself without the international complexity and high cost.

What does a distribution arrangement with KST involve?

We work with a focused portfolio under brand-authorised, long-term terms. A typical first conversation covers your UK objectives, target channels, any guidelines and any specifc B2B distribution targets or allocations. From there we agree commercial terms, complete regulatory onboarding, and plan the launch. To begin contact us through our form to find out more.

Do we only Serve Japanese Brands?

We are primarily focused on Japanese beauty and personal care brands. We do, however, offer our e-commerce service to a limited number of UK and other international brands looking to grow their e-commerce presence in the UK. © 2026 KST Distribution Ltd. All rights reserved.
