- Globon Co., Ltd. is a South Korea-based company primarily engaged in the development, manufacture, and distribution of cosmetics and personal care products, as well as the international trading of industrial and agricultural raw materials. Founded in December 1986 and headquartered in Seoul, South Korea, the company operates across two principal business divisions: Cosmetics and Commodity Trading. In its Cosmetics division, the company provides basic skincare products, including facial cleansers, toners, emulsions, serums, and moisturizers; functional cosmeceuticals and intensive anti-aging treatments; facial sheet mask packs; beauty apparatus and personal care devices; and cosmetic packaging solutions, including specialized containers and laminated tubes. Globon markets its proprietary beauty formulations under brand names such as RUE KWAVE, catering to retail and wholesale channels with target markets across South Korea, China, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East. In its Commodity Trading division, the company engages in the wholesale supply, sourcing, and cross-border distribution of agricultural and industrial chemical commodities, including anhydrous ammonia, muriate of potash (potassium chloride), and related fertilizer raw materials. The company also maintains secondary operations and distribution capabilities in health functional foods, medical equipment, and biotechnology devices.
In recent developments, Globon Co., Ltd. has restructured its operational focus to enhance profitability across its core cosmetics export business and commodity trading operations while rationalizing previous non-core diversification projects. In early 2025, the company completed a third-party allotment paid-in capital increase of approximately KRW 5.0 billion allocated to its largest shareholder to secure working capital and stabilize its financial structure. In 2026, Globon significantly expanded its overseas commodity distribution business by securing multi-billion won commercial supply agreements with the Philippine Phosphate Fertilizer Corporation for the recurring supply and delivery of anhydrous ammonia and muriate of potash.
