The development of therapy products was carried out through an Original Design Manufacturer (ODM) method reflecting expert opinions. The brand naming was finalized as "MERCLAR," a combination of "mer" (sea) and "Clarte" (clear), and brand identity (BI) development was also completed.

Representative products include mud packs that help with blood circulation and waste removal; highly concentrated seaweed ampoules using plant softening technology effective for wrinkle improvement and skin regeneration; bath additives that aid in relaxation and skin moisturizing; and scrubs that assist in activating metabolism and removing dead skin cells.

The products have received favorable reviews from users who tried mud packs and others during marine healing promotional events, playing a significant role in raising expectations for marine healing even before the Marine Healing Center's opening.

The county plans to prove the excellence of the products through patent applications and secure intellectual property rights going forward.

Ahn Hwan-ok, the Marine Healing Officer, stated, "We hope that visitors to the Wando Marine Healing Center will be satisfied with the marine healing experience by using the therapy products that embody the pure sea of Wando developed this time," adding, "In the future, we plan to develop these products into representative souvenirs and items symbolizing Wando marine healing."

The Wando Marine Healing Center is scheduled to open in September and will operate 16 healing therapy facilities utilizing marine healing resources such as seawater, mudflats, and seaweed, including a thalasso pool, meditation pool, seaweed foam and mud therapy rooms, and seawater mist rooms.
