The 21st century is an era of unlimited competition without physical borders. In this era, the core task for company management is to diversify and differentiate its products that will capture attention and stimulate customers¡¯ interest. After starting imports in 1986, the cosmetic industry has opened the market in full scale since the 1990s. Today, from manufacturing to sales, the cosmetic industry is meeting the era of openness and globalization. In order to survive harsh competition, it is time for the cosmetic industry to seek new technologies.
