L&P Cosmetics: Leading Change in Beauty with Innovation and Social Impact

L&P Cosmetics Building

L&P Cosmetics' Journey of Growth and Innovation

L&P Cosmetics has been leaving a remarkable footprint in the cosmetics industry through continuous growth and innovation. Notably, in December 2023, the company captivated customers' interest with special discount events for its brands Tricell and Makeheal. This strategy played a vital role in expressing gratitude to customers and enhancing brand loyalty, focusing on expanding its customer base and building long-term brand value. Tricell offered a variety of products for winter hair care and nutrition at discounted prices, providing an opportunity for customers to access quality products at reasonable costs.


Product Innovation and Technological Advancement

Product innovation and technological development are key drivers of L&P Cosmetics' growth. In July 2023, the Mediheal brand launched the revamped 'Watermade Deep Moisture Pad,' introducing an innovative product suitable for the summer season. This product, containing hyaluronic acid of various sizes, delivers deep moisture to the skin and provides a cooling effect to immediately soothe skin heat. It also uses a vegan derma gel sheet to minimize skin irritation, showing the company's continuous leadership in quality and functionality in the market.

Makeheal launched the 'One Peel Tone-up Sunscreen,' bringing innovation to the sun care product line. This product offers triple functionality - whitening, wrinkle improvement, and sun protection - and the water packing system and pink mineral powder provide moist and vibrant skin. Such product innovations demonstrate L&P Cosmetics' ongoing enhancement of market competitiveness, with continual research and development and innovation expected to solidify its position in the cosmetics market.


Social Responsibility and Corporate Image

L&P Cosmetics goes beyond providing excellent products, emphasizing a corporate image focused on social responsibility. In September 2023, the company's leader, Chairman Kwon Oh-seop, actively participated in a drug eradication campaign, demonstrating the company's commitment to addressing social issues. This national relay campaign, organized by the Korean National Police Agency and the Korea Drug-Free Movement Headquarters, aims to raise awareness of the dangers of drug abuse and addiction and prevent related crimes. Chairman Kwon's participation underscores the company's proactive stance on contributing to public welfare.

Additionally, in August 2023, Chairman Kwon donated 5 billion won to the Korea University Medical Center and held a naming ceremony for the 'Mediheal Hall,' contributing to medical advancement. These philanthropic activities reveal L&P Cosmetics' focus on creating social value in education, healthcare, and social welfare, not just business performance.


Financial Soundness and Future Challenges

Financially, L&P Cosmetics faces certain challenges. As of March 2023, concerns about increasing reliance on borrowings and decreasing financial soundness were noted. Particularly, the rise in short-term debts could burden the company's short-term liquidity management. This weakening financial structure may cause concerns among investors and market participants, potentially impacting the company's long-term corporate value.

However, the company shows potential for a rebound in performance. In July 2022, an acquisition of the 'Witch Factory'(Manyo Factory) led to a revival in financial results, indicating L&P Cosmetics' adaptation to market changes and search for new growth engines through new investments and strategic acquisitions.

Thus, L&P Cosmetics is balancing financial challenges and social responsibility, striving for sustainable growth and a positive corporate image. These efforts lay an important foundation for long-term success and increased social impact.
