The company's Sulwhasoo Jinsul Infusion Treatment and Longtake Eau de Parfum products received accolades in the packaging design categories. This recognition underscores the brand's commitment to merging functionality, aesthetics, and sustainability in its product development. The Red Dot Design Award, organized by Germany's Design Zentrum Nordrhein Westfalen, is considered one of the world's premier design competitions, alongside the iF Design Award and IDEA Design Award. Entries are judged on innovation, design quality, usability, and overall brand experience. Sulwhasoo Jinsul Infusion Treatment garnered the Product Design – Packaging Design award for its innovative refill-based usage system, which transforms into an intuitive design experience. The product's structure encourages consumers to engage with the refill process as part of a premium beauty ritual. The container features a rotating mechanism and a side slit window, enhancing usability and visual appeal while maintaining a minimalist design that accentuates the brand's premium identity. Longtake Eau de Parfum won the Brands & Communication Design – Packaging Design award for its nature-inspired fragrance concept and sustainable packaging. The bottle's curves and recyclable glass containers reflect the product's connection to nature and the brand's commitment to environmentally responsible beauty products. Amorepacific's latest wins follow its success at the 2026 iF Design Award, further highlighting the company's international competitiveness in design. The brand has increasingly focused on brand experiences through innovative packaging and user-centered design, recognizing that competition in the global beauty market now includes aesthetics, sustainability, and consumer engagement. An Amorepacific official stated that these Red Dot Design Award victories confirm the company's global design capabilities and signal the brand's continued development of products that embody functional innovation and unique brand philosophies. Industry experts note that Korean beauty companies are increasingly prioritizing design innovation and sustainable packaging as critical factors in expanding their global market presence.
