Korean Toner Pads Wholesale: MOQs, Prices, and Top Sub-Categories
Last updated: July 2026 · Published openly by AndKBeauty — no login required.
Toner pads are arguably the most distinctly Korean format to break out globally in recent years — pre-soaked pads in a tub, positioned between toner and mask. For retailers they combine a premium-feeling price point ($18–$28 typical Western retail) with strong social-media discoverability.
The category spans soothing (cica, mugwort, heartleaf), exfoliating (PHA/LHA), brightening (vitamin C, rice), and barrier (ceramide, panthenol) positioning.

Buying notes
Tubs are heavier than most skincare (300–450g shipped weight each), so freight math matters: 100 tubs is roughly 35–45kg, favoring consolidated air at small scale. Check pad count and refill availability — refill packs are an emerging margin item. Soothing lines remain the volume leader for Western baskets.
Frequently asked questions
What do Korean toner pads cost at wholesale?
Mainstream branded tubs (60–70 pads) typically wholesale at $4.50–$9.00 FOB Korea, against $18–$28 Western retail — strong margin potential for distributors.
What MOQ applies to toner pads?
Consolidators typically require 50–100 tubs per individual SKU; direct brand partnerships usually involve larger commitments of 300–600 tubs. Mixed-brand consolidation enables smaller retailers to diversify pad lines within a single shipment.
Which toner pad type sells best in Western markets?
Soothing pads (cica, mugwort, heartleaf) lead volume, with mild-exfoliating PHA pads the fastest-growing second slot. The recommended entry strategy involves stocking one soothing and one exfoliating option.
How heavy are toner pad shipments?
Each tub weighs approximately 350–450g when packed. Orders of 100 tubs reach roughly 40kg, remaining within air-freight parameters but carrying notably higher per-unit expenses compared to serums or masks.
