Comments:

Sales rose 9% last year, during which AmorePacific adopted a holding company structure. “Conscious Capitalism” were the buzzwords for 2006, as the company strives to grow based on eco-friendly and transparent management.

Last month, the company introduced several new products. AmorePacific Contour Lift eye cream is billed as the first anti-aging eye crème that features a patent-pending botanical blend complex and facilitates nutritional exchange among skin’s layers for firmer skin.

New Time Response Pure Essence 100 Skin Renewal Serum is a green tea-based serum that also contains 100 active botanicals.
