[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Kyung-pil] Balvijo Bio Co., Ltd., which signed a tripartite investment agreement with Wando-gun and Jeonnam Marine Bio Research Center to establish a kelp pack processing factory, began full-scale production of kelp packs made from 100% natural Wando kelp sheets on the 4th.

Balvijo Bio Co., Ltd. invested 8 billion KRW to build a cosmetics manufacturing factory producing kelp packs in the Wando Industrial Complex and signed a tripartite investment agreement in March to create about 30 jobs.

Last month, Balvijo Bio hired five employees from Wando and started kelp pack production on the 1st after receiving product manufacturing approval from the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety. Currently, about 500 packs are produced daily, with a goal to increase production to 1,000 packs per day within a month.

Within the next year, the company plans to build a new factory including automated facilities aiming to produce 10,000 packs per day and hire about 30 employees.

In particular, Balvijo Bio plans to jointly promote research and development projects with the Jeonnam Marine Bio Research Center to develop various cosmetics using seaweed materials, including kelp packs.

Balvijo is the massage pack brand of The B.C. Cosmetic Co., Ltd. Originally, it launched the ‘Sea Tangle The Real Mask Pack,’ a 100% domestically produced natural kelp sheet made from kelp harvested in Goheung, Jeonnam, in 2017, which is currently sold at all Shinsegae Department Store locations.

The Sea Tangle mask pack is characterized by using 100% natural fresh Wando kelp as the sheet instead of a typical sheet. It uses specially processed fresh kelp slices as the mask pack fabric tailored for skin compatibility, containing moisturizing, trouble care, and soothing effects all in one pack.
