Beauty industry has a big market around the world, minding half the population has interest in beauty. One of the world most innovative is Amorepacific. The South-Korean company is parent to top K-beauty brands such as Laneige, Innisfree, Etude and Espoir.

From Mum’s kitchen to Amorepacific across the ocean

It surprisingly started off in a small kitchen in Gaesong city, now a part of North Korea. A lady with six children bought the best camellia in the market and made her own camellia oil. The oil is used for hair treatment, popular to the stylish people around the city.

Suh Sung-Whan, the second child, then helped his mother. He made better packaging. And soon persuaded his mother to expand the business to other products. They then started to sell skin lotions.

Suh then established the business in 1945, just a slight after Korean independence from Japan. And a little before the Korean War. However, ambitions brought Suh to go forward. With the goal of going across the pacific ocean, Amorepacific was born.
