Global Market and Control
Cosmetics are primarily raw materials and technologies for which it is processed. In the modern global world, conditional face cream can do in France and in Russia using the same argan oil produced in Morocco.
Own production of chemical raw materials for cosmetics in Russia, unfortunately, there is little left. Now it is mainly high-quality local products - oils (cedar, linen, sesame and other), extracts of local herbs and plants, essential oils. Therefore, it may be assumed that in Russian cosmetics there may be poor-quality raw materials from the domestic producer - delusion.
Radious cheap raw materials are most likely to prerogative of the Chinese manufacturer, and they work with the whole world. If you buy cosmetics of the cheapest segment, then the cost of raw materials in it will be maximally optimized. The cream is also likely to be cheap mineral, and not natural olive oil. There is nothing terrible in mineral oil only if it is cosmetic, and not technical. In terms of the quality of raw materials, it is more to be afraid of little-known imported products - it is often unknown which requirements are presented to production and raw materials in the country of origin.
Important moment - control of products. In Russia, the production of cosmetic products is controlled by several regulations of the Customs Union (TC) and the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU).

Technology and technology
In the cosmetic industry, there are not many areas with really advanced technologies, especially in the segment of the care cosmetics. In general, this is not at all rapped nano-biotechnology, for which the super-leading installation is needed. Most of the necessary equipment available on the market. Moreover, there are solutions for large industries and for small - you can create cosmetics in small series at a completely modern technological level. And on the same equipment, manufacturers will work in Korea, in Japan and in France.
In general, it is generally important not the equipment itself, and the ability to use it properly - we need competent chemists and technologists. It is known that our chemists are appreciated abroad and are not inferior to their overseas colleagues. It is considered that we have doping machines on which unskilled personnel work are incorrectly incorrect. Given the pace of development of the industry, such a manufacturer will be absolutely uncompetitive and will not last long on the market.
Quality for the same money
Another difference in domestic cosmetics is the price that is usually lower than that of foreign analogues. You might think that this is due to the lower quality of raw materials or technologies, but we have already found out that it is not. When buying imported cosmetics, you pay much more per brand than for components in the package. And do not forget about the duties and the cost of labor. It is no secret that labor in Russia is already cheaper than in China, and much cheaper than in Korea and Europe. The cost of production of cream with identical composition in Russia is much less than in the countries listed. In this case, the raw material is approximately the same. It is logical that the domestic product will be cheaper, especially without overpayment for the brand.
It is necessary to compare products of one price segment. It is incorrect to compare the domestic mass market and foreign premium - there will be different raw materials, and quality control. But when choosing an average price segment, you should look at Russian manufacturers, among them you can find decent products at quite reasonable prices.
