Coreana Cosmetics, a South Korean beauty company founded in 1988 known for its skincare products under various brands like Ample:N and LAVIDA. It can also refer to a genus of gossamer-winged butterflies or, less commonly, to "Corana chain," a type of thin beading chain. To be clear, "Coreana" is a Latinized spelling for Korea and is also the name of the company.

Core Strengths

• Coreana operates its own manufacturing facilities including a main plant (Cheonan plant) with an annual production capacity reportedly around 40 million units.
• It also runs an in-house R&D center, the Song‑pa Institute of Technology, which supports formulation development, innovation, and skin-science research.
• Coreana claims extensive intellectual property: as of 2021, it lists 481 patents. 

Business Model

• Coreana manufactures cosmetics and personal care products under its own brands.
• It also offers OEM/ODM manufacturing services for third-party brands.
• Through its subsidiaries (for example Coreana Bio Co., Ltd.) it provides turnkey solutions for external clients seeking private-label or custom-formulation cosmetics.

Why it Matters for you (B2B/Distribution perspective)

• Because Coreana combines strong in-house R&D, large-capacity manufacturing, and OEM/ODM service offerings, it can support B2B partners or distributors looking to launch private-label or custom cosmetics with the backing of a well-established Korean cosmetics manufacturer.
• If you are a distributor or brand owner, working with Coreana could give access to Korean “K-beauty” formulation expertise, manufacturing capacity, and established quality/certification standards.
