The Cosmoprof·Cosmopack Awards are the largest global comprehensive beauty exhibition that started in 1967. The event highlights the entire cosmetics industry ecosystem. Each year, the most innovative products and technologies are selected through evaluations by a judging panel composed of global cosmetics companies and beauty experts. This year, a total of 836 companies worldwide participated, and 11 products won awards in various categories. Cosmoprof awards finished products, while Cosmopack awards focus on manufacturing, packaging, and auxiliary materials.
Kolmar Korea received grand prizes in two categories: 'Innovative Technology' and 'Sustainability.' Kolmar Korea won the grand prize in the Innovative Technology category with 'CAIOME.' CAIOME is a platform that provides AI-based skin microbiome diagnosis and customized skincare solutions. It analyzes beneficial and harmful bacteria on the skin to assist in prescribing personalized cosmetics. In January, it attracted significant attention by showcasing CAIOME at CES 2025, the world's largest IT and electronics exhibition held in Las Vegas, USA.
In the Sustainability category, the eco-friendly ingredient 'ECO-PULSE™ Centella' won the grand prize. ECO-PULSE™ Centella is an extract of Centella asiatica, known for its skin-soothing effects, and is a patented ingredient by Kolmar Korea. This ingredient was developed based on Kolmar Korea's excellent eco-friendly technology. By utilizing a non-heating eco-friendly extraction method, it succeeded in reducing energy consumption during the extraction process and cutting carbon emissions by more than 20%. Notably, compared to conventional methods, it extracts high concentrations of active components such as madecassoside and madecassic acid in a shorter time, maximizing the skin-soothing effect, drawing significant attention.
A Kolmar Korea representative said, "This award is the result of applying 35 years of accumulated research and development capabilities to the latest trends and convergent innovative technologies," adding, "We will continue research and development to bring new innovations to the global beauty industry."
