Cosmax Neo, a functional cosmetics packaging subsidiary of the Cosmax Group, said Thursday it won a prize at the Korea Star Awards 2026, an annual national packaging competition organized by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Resources.
The company received the Korea Packaging Technologist Society President's Award for its Smudging Drop Bottle, a container that integrates dispensing and skin application functions into a single structure.
When the cap is opened, a built-in applicator automatically rises.
Pressing the curved top section releases a measured amount of product through an air-push mechanism, allowing users to apply contents directly to skin without touching the formula by hand. The curved dome design minimizes residue, addressing a common problem with conventional air-push containers that tend to leave excess product behind.
