Kolmar Korea’s Targeted Anti-Aging Material Earns NET Certification
Kolmar Korea’s antioxidant material technology, developed jointly with a research team at Jeonbuk National University, has received New Excellent Technology (NET) certification from the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, marking a step forward in the company’s efforts to commercialize targeted anti-aging cosmetics.The technology, called TOT, applies the principle of targeted cancer therapy…
Kolmar Korea has developed an innovative antioxidant material technology, named TOT, in collaboration with a research team from Jeonbuk National University. The technology, currently undergoing NET certification from the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, is designed to target skin aging by selectively responding to hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), a reactive oxygen species linked to aging skin.
TOT's unique approach, similar to targeted cancer therapy, involves releasing vitamin E, an antioxidant, in response to H₂O₂, rather than indiscriminately releasing the antioxidant. This targeted mechanism reduces oxidative stress at the site of concern, making it an efficient and effective solution for anti-aging cosmetics. The technology has been published in a highly-cited journal, Molecules, and the ingredient has been registered in the International Nomenclature Cosmetic Ingredient (INCI).
Kolmar Korea plans to integrate TOT with its proprietary DDS Smart Liposome technology to deliver the material deeper into the skin, aiming to create a differentiated and superior anti-aging cosmetic product line. The company's CEO highlighted the certification's significance, noting it acknowledges Kolmar Korea's advanced technology that merges pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, signaling their commitment to addressing the fundamental causes of skin aging and strengthening their global competitiveness.
