According to Amorepacific, the cosmetics firm’s three brands -- Vitalbeautie, Pleasia and Boncho Study -- won one gold, four silver and one bronze in the 2020 Monde Selection quality awards.

In the diet and health products category, Vitalbeautie’s Ginseng Extract Ampoule won a gold award while the brand’s Metagreen and Super Collagen each won a silver award.

In the cosmetics and toiletries category, Pleasia’s kids toothpastes with mandarin and raspberry scents each won silver, while Boncho Study’s gum toothpaste won a bronze award.
