[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunseok Yoo] Standard Graphene has succeeded in being the first in the world to obtain WHO (World Health Organization) certification for graphene water treatment technology, and has also succeeded in registering the graphene material it developed under the name 'Graphene' in the US ICID (International Cosmetic Ingredient Dictionary).


ICID is a major benchmark for selecting cosmetic ingredients worldwide, and through this registration, Standard Graphene's 'Graphene' is expected to be widely used as a cosmetic ingredient.


ENPLUS announced on the 21st that Standard Graphene's 'Graphene' has been successfully registered as a cosmetic ingredient in ICID. While graphene-based materials have been registered in ICID before, this is the first time that the ingredient has been registered under the name 'Graphene' worldwide.


ICID is a system introduced to guarantee consumers' choice in cosmetics and to accurately identify causes in case of adverse reactions to cosmetic products. It serves as a key standard for selecting cosmetic ingredients and is selected through strict review by the International Cosmetic Ingredient Committee under the US Cosmetic Association.


With this registration, graphene as a cosmetic ingredient is newly spotlighted, and Standard Graphene's products are expected to be widely used globally in the development of cosmetics and mask products. Professor Jongwon Shim of the Department of Cosmetics at Dongduk Women's University evaluated that high-quality graphene ingredients will be actively utilized in the global cosmetics market starting from the ICID registration.


Choi Baekbeom, Director of Standard Graphene, said, "While most competitors in the graphene market have focused only on manufacturing technology research, Standard Graphene has been dedicated to application field utilization based on excellent manufacturing technology for several years." He added, "This ICID registration is the result of continuous research on application fields." He further stated, "Following water treatment, concrete achievements are continuing as a cosmetic ingredient, and through steady R&D, additional results will continue in various fields."



Meanwhile, Standard Graphene's new material dedicated to water treatment, 'Supergraphite,' recently succeeded in obtaining 'NSF42' certification for household water purifier materials and 'NSF61' certification for large-scale water treatment materials from NSF (National Sanitation Foundation), officially designated by WHO. Based on these certifications, ENPLUS is actively promoting entry into the global water treatment market together with Standard Graphene.
