After selling more than 33 million cushion compacts in 2015 alone, the company surpassed the 100 million mark as of the third quarter this year.

AmorePacific has been advancing the technology behind the cushion compacts for the past decade, and is currently using its fourth-generation cushion technology for its 15 brands. In July last year, the company established C-Lab (Cushion Laboratory) to focus exclusively on its cushions. AmorePacific currently holds 26 patents related to its cushion technology.
