  • LG H&H, along with Amore Pacific, is one of the two largest companies in the cosmetics industry in Korea and is a major affiliate of LG Group that produces and sells cosmetics, household goods, and beverages. The Korean private label cosmetics they produce are researched and developed in the company's own cosmetics laboratory, and cosmetics are manufactured in-house at a factory in Cheongju, Chungcheongbuk-do.
  • Since 2005, Forbes has analyzed the performance of the past five years for companies in the Asia-Pacific region with total revenue or market capitalization of more than $3 billion and annually selected and announced the top 50 promising companies with growth prospects.
  • LG H&H re-entered the food business with the acquisition of Coca-Cola Bottling Korea in 2007 and Diamond Saemmul in 2009. It also acquired The Face Shop in 2010 and Haitai Beverage in 2011, and the beverage business division of Youngjin Pharmaceutical and Japan's Everlife in 2013. etc. were also acquired. In November 2017, it acquired shares of Taegeuk Pharmaceutical and incorporated it as an affiliate. The reason is to strengthen the competitiveness of the derma cosmetics business.
  • LG Household & Health Care began in 1947 with the founding of Lakhee Chemical Industry, which had the ‘Lucky’ brand. After successfully developing Korea's first toothpaste, the company continued to grow by developing daily necessities. After the successful launch of Korea's representative hair care brand 'Elastine' in 2001, the company was divided into LG Household & Health Care. It has been producing household goods brands, cosmetics brands, and beverage brands for over 70 years and is considered one of Korea's leading cosmetics companies.
  • LG H&H Research Institute is conducting in-depth research on skin. One of their main research areas is the development of skin type segmentation and beauty solutions based on biometric big data. By analyzing the skin characteristics and genetic data of approximately 50,000 East Asians, including Koreans, they have developed a method to identify various skin characteristics such as skin wrinkles and pigmentation. We are discovering key genes involved. The goal is to find meaning in continuously collected genetic data and develop customized effective materials and prescriptions by segmenting customers' skin types according to the function of the genes. In addition to this research, we are continuously researching and growing numerous meaningful technologies, such as skin microbiome technology and technology to improve the delivery of active ingredients to the skin.

Concusion

LG H&H is one of Korea's leading cosmetics companies that has grown K-beauty through continuous research and development for over 70 years. In addition to the cosmetics line, they are able to carry out other businesses very well, so they may be complacent, but they always work hard to produce products that satisfy customers. They seem to be doing their best to maintain and grow their cosmetics brand concept. Most of the K-beauty products they sell are produced in their own research and development center, but as you can see in the text, LG Household & Health Care's products are sometimes produced by other famous manufacturers.

If you would like to cooperate with a domestic brand cosmetics manufacturer that LG H&H trusts and entrusts manufacturing to, please contact Crescent Seoul at any time.
