Advanced design of customized
functional composite materials

Advanced Design of Customized New Materials

We move beyond a single-ingredient-centered approach and select promising candidates from materials of diverse origins through initial screening.

We precisely compare the functionality of carefully selected materials by characteristics, based on bioactivity indicators, concentration-dependent responses, and cellular response patterns.

To maximize synergistic effects between materials, we realize optimal functionality through formulation design that considers gene/protein expression mechanisms, action pathways, and stability.

Through a composite material design strategy, we secure patents and apply them to products, complementing the limitations of individual materials and maximizing efficacy.

End-to-End nonclinical and clinical validation system

Nonclinical and Clinical Full-Cycle Efficacy Verification System

We have established a full-cycle verification system ranging from in vitro and ex vivo testing to clinical stages, going beyond cellular-level validation and setting pharmaceutical-level evaluation standards.

In the initial stage, we evaluate material efficacy at the cellular and tissue levels, including anti-glycation, antioxidant, brightening, anti-inflammatory, and scalp health effects, while securing preclinical safety through toxicity testing.

We then use only materials whose efficacy has been proven in real-use environments through human application testing.

This secures the reliability of functionality based on continuous application data from specialized partner institutions, including clinics, Korean medicine clinics, healthcare centers, and aesthetic shops.

Next-generation drug delivery system

Next-generation bio-delivery platform

Our developed materials are effectively protected, delivered, and absorbed through probiotic-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs).

EVs are nano-sized structures generated for intercellular communication, offering excellent mobility in the body and stable passage through tissue microenvironments.

We apply next-generation microbial EVs that overcome the infection risks of animal-cell EVs and the low-yield limitations of plant-cell EVs, securing both safety and production efficiency while maximizing delivery performance.

Nano-sized carriers (50 ~ 1,000 nm): Excellent tissue mobility through the skin barrier and follicle pathways (50,000 nm), maximizing absorption efficiency
Fermentation-based microbial EVs: Minimization of zoonotic infection risk and improvement of production yield
Phospholipid bilayer structure: Protection of cargo and securing stability during the delivery process

In-house discovery of fuctional novel strains

Proprietary Discovery Technology for New Functional Strains

Our high-functionality products are produced by independently discovering new strains with strong potential for functional expression.

We select highly functional strains based on bioactivity evaluation, metabolite analysis, and growth characteristic assessment, and precisely screen strains according to functional expression characteristics and metabolic pathways.

By continuously securing new strains from diverse origins, we have built a genomic-functional data library and established a systematic screening environment.

Proprietary media development and fermentation process optimization

Establishment of a Proprietary Medium System and Fermentation Process Optimization

We design proprietary media reflecting microbial growth factors and mineral components to maximize strain metabolic activity and the production efficiency of functional substances.

Culture conditions, including pH, temperature, time, and media composition, are quantitatively optimized based on Design of Experiments (DoE), improving both fermentation efficiency and production yield.

This process design serves as the foundation for securing consistent quality and reproducibility even in mass production environments.

Low-molecular-weight-based absorption enhancement technology

Absorption Enhancement Technology Based on Low-Molecular-Weight Conversion

Our research can maximize the action mechanisms of high-molecular-weight functional materials that have limitations in in-body mobility and absorption efficiency.

By utilizing fermentation and process control technologies to reduce high-molecular structures into lower-molecular forms, we improve molecular mobility and increase delivery efficiency within the skin and tissues.

Low-molecular-weight materials increase diffusion speed in the body and improve target-site reachability, contributing to enhanced practical absorption of functional ingredients.

This structure-control-based approach serves as a core technology for improving the bioavailability of functional materials.

Specification & Marker Contro

Ingredient Specification Setting and Marker Management

We perform qualitative and quantitative analysis of key active ingredients and establish raw material specifications based on the results.

By selecting and systematically managing marker compounds, we minimize batch-to-batch quality variation and secure the stability and reproducibility of raw materials, maintaining overall quality standards.

Process SOP & Standardization

Process SOP and Standardization

We systematically establish Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for all processes and quantify process conditions and work procedures to secure reproducibility and operational stability.

Based on this, we improve production efficiency and minimize variation between processes.

Quality Control & Validation

Quality Management and Testing Validation

We establish quality standards through physicochemical property analysis and test method validation, while securing the accuracy and reliability of analytical data.

We also establish a quality management system that meets global regulatory standards, enabling continuous quality monitoring and improvement.

Process Scale-up & Pilot Validation

Process Scale-up and Pilot Validation

We scale up processes established at the laboratory level to pilot scale and comprehensively verify process variables, yield, and quality variability.

Through this, we evaluate the feasibility of transition to commercial production while securing both process stability and economic efficiency.

Commercial Scale Optimization & Process Control

Optimization of Mass Production Processes and Securing Consistent Quality

We apply pilot-verified processes to mass production environments and enhance process control strategies and quality management standards to secure batch-to-batch consistency.

Through this, we maximize production efficiency and establish a stable commercial production system.

Beyond functional ingredient development, we continuously expand scalability and applicability through an ingredient platform-centered approach.

Brand Concept & Strategy

Technology-Based Strategic and Conceptual Brand Development

Product development begins with concept design based on technical evidence, rather than simple functional implementation.

We define product positioning by reflecting the environmental and physiological characteristics of the target market, and design suitable functional structures and storylines.

The product lineup is structured around mechanisms rather than single functions, maximizing effects at each stage of use.

We strengthen market competitiveness by connecting brand direction and R&D strategy into a consistent technology story.

Formulation & Manufacturing

Formulation and Product Development

Our products are designed with formulations that consider the maintenance of bioactivity and delivery efficiency of functional ingredients, securing both physical stability and usability.

We develop products with optimized active ingredient performance by precisely controlling carrier structure, particle size, and interfacial properties.
