[Guest Report] Creating ‘A MORE’ beautiful world
Since its founding in 1945, AmorePacific has had a single, clear mission: to present its unique perception of
beauty, namely “Asian beauty,” to global consumers. As the leading Korean cosmetics company, the beauty
ideal that AmorePacific seeks is the beauty that “creates harmony between the inside and the outside, based on
deep understanding of what’s natural and human.” AmorePacific has devoted its best to realizing and promoting
such Asian beauty around the world. AmorePacific has been dedicated to combining the best of natural Asian
ingredients and advanced biotechnology. Its strategy has made it the seventh-largest beauty company in the
world by sales in 2016.
It is today a global company with over 20 cosmetics, personal care and health care brands. Among these
include the immensely popular brands Sulwhasoo, Laneige, Mamonde, Etude House and Innisfree. Recognized
as one of the most innovative companies in its field and ranked 16th in Forbes’ most innovative companies list,
AmorePacific has charted a solid growth path by pioneering new beauty categories, including sleep masks,
boosting essences and cushion products. AmorePacific has made continuous efforts to reach out to global
consumers since 1964, when it successfully exported Korea’s first cosmetics product under the brand Oscar.
AmorePacific has pursued a global brand strategy since the early 1990s and established production bases in
China and France, opening a new phase in its global expansion in the early 2000s. AmorePacific is currently
present in North America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East.
