On the 22nd, global cosmetics ODM (research, development, production) corporation COSMAX announced that it has obtained approval from the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety for a mask sheet product recognized for its "skin barrier function improvement" efficacy, marking the first of its kind in Korea.
The newly developed product by COSMAX is a multifunctional mask sheet that combines wrinkle improvement, whitening efficacy, and skin barrier recovery functions. This is the first time a sheet-type cosmetic has been recognized for its functionality related to the skin barrier in Korea.
So far, mainly ampoules and creams have received functional approval for skin barrier improvement, but no mask sheet formulations containing a support body have received related approval.
COSMAX explained that it systematically prepared scientific data, such as clinical data on efficacy and safety, considering the characteristics of the mask sheet formulation to meet the complex approval criteria.
The development of this product was achieved through collaboration between the formulation research capabilities of the newly established PM (pack mask) lab and the regulatory research organization last year.
COSMAX plans to expand research and development of functional cosmetics in various formulations in the future.
