South Korea's major food company CJ CheilJedang made a foray Tuesday into the cosmetics market for raw materials, using its accumulated experience and technology in fermentation and enzymology.

For its new business, the manufacturer of food ingredient, food, pharmaceutics and biotechnology launched a new brand called "N'gredient". The company said all its products for "N'gredient" would be eco-friendly and based on natural ingredients.

CJ CheilJedang has expanded its biotechnology business as the main driver of its next growth engine. It is the world's largest producer of lysine, an amino acid used as additives for animal feed and food additives.
