COSMAX PET provides a 'one-stop solution' tailored to the brand and product concept of its customers. The company proposes differentiated raw materials and formulations suitable for the symptoms of pets,as well as package designs that match each product.

COSMAX PET differentiates itself from competitors with functional ingredients individually recognized by South Korea's Ministry of Food and Drug Safety. COSMAX Group plans to apply various individually recognized functional ingredients to pet supplements.

Among the COSMAX Group's distinctive functional ingredients are Agatri®(Agastache rugosa extract),registered in the New Dietary Ingredients (NDI) list of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA),and Tabetri®(Taheebo extract) that can help improve joint and cartilage health.

The formulation line-up by COSMAX PET consists of a tablet,capsules,powder,jerky,and stick-pack retort (gel or jelly type). Jerky and stick-pack retort are formulations customized for pets. COSMAX PET conducted research on companion animals' appetites,created recipes,and applied them to all products to meet the preferences of pets.

In partnership with its customers,COSMAX PET plans to introduce a variety of new products,formulations,and exclusive materials in the market this year.

Ho-jeong Jin,CEO of COSMAX PET said "As 'Pet Humanization' became one of the top trends in the pet care market,supplements for pets are also being diversified."

He also added,"COSMAX PET will leap toward as a global pet care company by introducing differentiated products based on pet-oriented research and manufacturing technology."

Meanwhile,COSMAX has spent more than three years developing pet care products. The company is expanding its pet beauty product line-ups by introducing toothpaste,body cream,body mist,and ear sanitizer since it first rolled out shampoo and conditioner for pets last year.
