Originally Manyo Factory brand was only meant, designed, and developed for domestic sales in Korea. But because they quickly became so popular, they began selling their products worldwide.

The main principle of the Manyo Factory approach to healthy beauty is to use only the selected high quality natural ingredients. As the delicious fruit comes from good soil, good skin starts with the healthy skin.

Manyo Factory rebranding story

In the end of 2018 Manyo Factory started the rebranding process which involved significant design and product name changes. It’s been reported in the local news (MoneyToday) that the owner of the Mediheel masks brand the L&P Cosmetics company has acquired 70% of the Manyo Factory stake. The enterprise value of Manyo Factory was estimated by 25-30 million dollars at that time.

As a result, the Manyo Factory has been incorporated as a subsidiary of the L&P Cosmetics with a new name – ma:nyo, but it is still operated by the two founders Kim Hyun Soo and Hwang Kwan Ik.

L&P Cosmetics decided to invest in a variety of cosmetic products in addition to its mainstay mask products. With the ma:nyo in mind, they planned to target the online market along with the offline channels such as the existing H & B stores and duty free shops.

Nowadays, Ma:nyo is known as one of the top Korean brands with natural, organic and botanical ingredients. It has around 450,000 official online store members and is one of the fastest growing brands, with sales average eight times higher than the initial average in one year.

Brand Philosophy

Ma:nyo’s core belief is that nature provides the best solutions for skincare. They focus on using natural, plant-based ingredients that are carefully selected for their efficacy and safety. The brand emphasizes the importance of maintaining skin health through gentle, non-invasive methods rather than harsh treatments.

Ma:nyo is casting a spell of sustainability with its eco-friendly packaging initiatives. The company’s commitment to environmental stewardship is evident in its innovative approach to product packaging and waste reduction.

Eco-Packaging System

Ma:nyo has implemented an eco-packaging system that prioritizes the health of our planet. This system reflects the company’s deep respect for nature and acknowledges our dependence on Earth’s resources.

Tapeless Packaging
One of Ma:nyo’s key innovations is the use of wing boxes, which eliminate the need for vinyl tape. This simple yet effective solution significantly reduces plastic waste associated with traditional packaging methods.
Paper Cushioning
Instead of using vinyl air caps, Ma:nyo opts for recycled paper as cushioning material. This choice not only makes recycling easier but also helps minimize unnecessary waste.

Recycle Campaign

Ma:nyo’s commitment to sustainability extends beyond its own practices. The company actively encourages customers to participate in proper waste separation and disposal. This “magical act of separating, emptying, and regenerating” is a small but impactful way for individuals to contribute to environmental conservation.

By embracing these eco-friendly practices, Ma:nyo demonstrates that beauty and sustainability can go hand in hand. The “Witch Factory” is proving that with a little magic and a lot of commitment, we can create positive change for our planet.
