26 Years of Craft
Heritage
NOWCOS began in 2000 as a dedicated team focused on cosmetic ingredient and formulation research and development. For more than 25 years, our journey has been guided by one core principle: “Growing Together.” Through long-standing partnerships with leading brands in Korea and around the world, we have continued to grow alongside our customers, building relationships founded on trust, collaboration, and shared success. Our ability to provide one of the industry’s most comprehensive product line-ups and Full Turnkey Services is built upon our vertically integrated capabilities in ingredients, packaging, and creative design, together with the expertise of our color cosmetics affiliate, HWASUNG COSMETICS. To carry this philosophy forward, we remain committed to developing our people, advancing ESG management, driving continuous innovation, and contributing to society through ongoing community initiatives. We believe that sustainable growth is not achieved alone, but through creating lasting value and growing together with our customers, partners, people, and communities.
Expertise
At NOWCOS, we have built our expertise around developing high-performance active ingredients and formulating them in ways that preserve and maximize their intended benefits. We develop a wide range of advanced actives, including Niacinamide, Peptides, Vitamins, PDRN, Panthenol Complexes, and the latest active ingredients, applying various derivative and stabilization technologies to help maintain their properties and efficacy until they reach the skin. Through our ingredient development affiliate, we directly develop functional ingredients and complex materials, while our integrated management system seamlessly connects every stage of development—from ingredient discovery and fragrance development to formulation and packaging development. This integrated approach enables us to develop more than 1,000 new products annually, delivering innovative, high-performance solutions that bring together ingredient expertise, formulation technology, and packaging capabilities.
Our Promise
We listen closely to even the smallest concerns of our customers and take full responsibility for seeing every issue through to the end. This sense of commitment and sincerity is at the heart of our core values.
- We are committed to doing what is right in every situation.
- We communicate honestly and transparently, make only promises we can keep, and follow through on every commitment we make.
- In every decision, our clients’ interests come first. By delivering on our commitments and creating tangible results, we build lasting trust and long-term partnerships with our customers.
