Selection of Raw Materials

All raw materials used in Amorepacific's products are developed to provide customers the highest efficacy and safety according to decades of accumulated technology and strict internal standards. First of all, we establish an individual management method that can verify the quality of each raw material. Every verification method is based on chemical properties, manufacturing processes, MSDS(Material Safety Data Sheet)s, safety data as well as international regulations and safety assessment results. At the same time, clinical tests are conducted to confirm functional aspects, which mean practical efficacy and safety such as skin irritation, phototoxicity and possibilities of skin allergy.

Just as food made with good ingredients can have a deeper taste, even if the raw materials are made with the same ingredients, the quality can depand on detailed management aspects. Therefore this preliminary assessment and verification of raw materials is very important. Raw materials that have been reviewed can only be used in our products if they satisfy the established qualification level.

Sustainability of Raw Materials

Sustainability, which means social and environmental value, is applied as the essential attribute into all of Amorepacific's policies about selection and management of raw materials.
