It’s new North Korea’s beauty cosmetics "Yinhe Water" has thrown olive branches at it.

  CCTV News:In 2018, North Korea put forward a new strategy of concentrating all its efforts to develop the economy. In all aspects of social economy and people’s lives, some changes are quietly taking place. Not long ago, our CCTV reporter visited Pyongyang Cosmetics Factory.

  Pyongyang Cosmetics Factory is located in Pingchuan District, the scenic center of Pyongyang. The factory was founded in 1962, and three generations of North Korean leaders have visited and inspected it many times. The famous "Yinheshui" brand cosmetics in North Korea are produced by this factory.

  Jin Xian, general manager of Pyongyang Cosmetics Factory, told CCTV reporter that although it has a history of nearly 60 years, the product line has been continuously enriched and the factory has developed rapidly in recent years. Just before 2015, the products of the factory were still relatively single, and only toothpaste, soap and some basic cosmetics could be produced. After continuous expansion, the factory has a number of production lines, which can produce more than 15 million cosmetics, 10 million cosmetic tools and more than 2,000 tons of soaps every year. Since 2018, seven production lines have been running almost non-stop. All products from raw materials to outer packaging use Korean domestic products and no longer rely on imports.

   It is worth mentioning that the "Yinheshui" brand male cosmetics developed and produced by the factory have recently become popular in North Korea, and North Korean men have begun to love beauty.

  "Yinheshui" brand cosmetics are mainly "pure natural", and the factory claims that the raw materials contain ginseng and animal and plant extracts, which are safe and reliable without side effects. The price of a bottle of "Yinhe Water" brand emulsion is about RMB 30 yuan, which is affordable for ordinary working-class people in North Korea and is a best-selling commodity in major stores. Vendors from Russia, Iran, Australia and other countries also expressed their intention to cooperate with the factory.
