Kuan Yuan Lian Co., Ltd. (), commonly known as Kuan Yuan Lian, is a Taiwanese cosmetics and skincare manufacturer best known for its Luffa water () beauty products. The company was founded on 20 March 1986 in Puyan Township, Changhua County, Taiwan, by Shih Chung-kuang (æ½仲廣). It is one of Taiwan's best-known domestic skincare brands emphasizing natural ingredients derived from traditional Taiwanese botanicals.
Kuan Yuan Lian originated from founder Shih Chung-kuang's idea to turn his wife's dowry of luffa water into the foundation for a locally developed Taiwanese skincare product line. The company was officially established in 1986 under the name Kuan Yuan Lian Industrial Co., Ltd. (廣æºÂè¯實æ¥ÂæÂÂéÂÂå ¬å¸).
In 2005, the company's Luffa Water series won the National Product Quality Gold Award (Ã¥ÂÂ家åÂÂÃ¥ÂÂÃ¥ÂÂ質éÂÂçÂÂçÂÂ). In 2007, Kuan Yuan Lian expanded its manufacturing operations to Xiushui Township, Changhua County, to meet increasing domestic demand. The following year, the company began exporting products to China, Hong Kong, and Malaysia.
In 2009, its products received the "Watsons Health, Wellness and Beauty Award" for best skincare item. The company also entered into an academicâÂÂindustrial cooperation with Hungkuang University in 2010 to research natural skincare formulations.
In 2015, the firm was renamed Kuan Yuan Lian Co., Ltd. (廣æºÂè¯è¡份æÂÂéÂÂå ¬å¸) as part of a corporate rebranding strategy aimed at strengthening its international market presence.
Kuan Yuan Lian's flagship product is its Luffa Water (èÂÂçÂÂæ°´) skincare series, which includes toners, facial sprays, and moisturizers made from natural luffa extract. The company also produces facial masks, cleansers, and lotions derived from ingredients such as aloe vera, cucumber, and green tea.
Although originally focused on the Taiwanese domestic market, Kuan Yuan Lian has expanded its distribution network to several Asian regions, including China, Hong Kong, and Malaysia. Its products are sold through retail chains, online stores, and drugstore partners such as Watsons.
