Astena Holdings Joins 'Cosme Bank Project' as Board Member and Donates 7,600 Cosmetic Items

Astena Holdings Co., Ltd. has been participating as a board member company in the 'Cosme Bank Project,' operated by the general incorporated association Bank for Smiles, since fiscal year 2025. As part of their second activity since joining, the company donated cosmetic products from the group and conducted packaging work for the 2026 spring/summer gift program.

About the 'Cosme Bank Project' This initiative aims to solve social issues such as poverty, reduction of consumer product loss, and environmental burden reduction by delivering surplus inventory of cosmetics and daily necessities—which are of high quality and free of defects—at no cost to women facing economic difficulties, through support organizations.

Background of Participation The company aims for a society where everyone can choose care that builds physical and mental well-being and confidence. They agreed with the purpose of this project, which delivers cosmetics that do not have a set destination to those in need, specifically for women who cannot obtain them due to economic hardship.

2026 Spring/Summer Gifts and Packaging Work A total of approximately 7,600 cosmetic items were provided for these gifts, including 'Pureal' sheet masks from Maruman H&B Co., Ltd. and 'Astacure' serums from Aplos Co., Ltd. Seven employees from the group participated in the gift packaging work, and the gifts were distributed for free through support organizations across the country in time for Mother's Day.
