  Cosmetics R&D Institute started out after a cosmetics laboratory was established in Chang Shin-district, Seoul in 1948, along with LG Group.
 
  With the completion of Lucky Central Research Center in December of 1979 as an impetus, we have acquired size and system, and through continuous effort to accumulate and fundamental technologies and investments for research development, we have grown leaps and bounds. Cosmetics R&D Institute has an ultimate goal of becoming a¡¸world-class cosmetics research center that creates technologies for the future¡¹ by providing values for beautification (attractiveness, youth, and health) to humanity.

  Cosmetics not only deals with human skin but also is in close contact with consumers' psychology and fashion trends of various era. Furthermore, function-oriented cosmetics that possess efficacy as a medicine as well as its traditional effects (cleansing and beautification) have been developed recently. Therefore, cosmetics research is a comprehensive applied science research requiring an advanced level of understanding where cutting-edge science and medical science come together with arts. The R&D Institute acknowledges the ultimate mission of providing an environment for humanity to enjoy healthier and more beautiful life. In order to achieve this mission, we are implementing new product development with related fundamental and application research, along with skin-related fundamental research for innovative futuristic products, functional material development research, skin safety research, and evaluation for scientific efficacy and effects of developed products.
