Cosmax Develops Sun Care Using US NASA Bio Materials

[Asia Economy Reporter Yujin Cho] Global cosmetics research and development manufacturing (ODM) company COSMAX (Chairman Kyungsoo Lee) announced on the 16th that it has developed sun care cosmetics applying NASA's space bio microbial materials.

After launching 'microbiome' cosmetics, called the second genome, COSMAX discovered strains called Bacillus and Deinococcus during the research process. As a result of experiments conducted with these strains, it was confirmed that they help recover sunburned and aged skin, concluding that they are very effective in blocking ultraviolet rays, leading to successful product development. This material was patented earlier this year under the name SolarBiome™.

Kyungsoo Lee, Chairman of the COSMAX Group, said, “The new sun formulation is an innovative fusion product that transformed NASA's microbial materials into functional cosmetics,” adding, “We will continuously develop microbiome cosmetics, known as an unexplored area, to open a new category of anti-aging cosmetics.”

The sun formulation applying SolarBiome will be introduced within this month and launched through client companies as primer, fluid cream, ampoule, etc. In the future, the product line will be expanded to various color cosmetics such as cushion pact and foundation.
