According to Sookmyung Women's University, 'Lab Incube,' a technology holding company founded by Professor Choi Kyung-min of the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering, has launched the skin booster product 'PlaCube.' Skin boosters function by injecting moisture into the skin to help restore the skin barrier.

PlaCube is a product released targeting consumers concerned about side effects or pain from procedures. Lab Incube explained, "PlaCube contains six complex ingredients including PLLA (Poly-L-Lactic acid), a lactic acid polymer that promotes collagen production, as well as glutathione and vitamin C," adding, "The key point is that it uses a freeze-drying method to prevent the denaturation of active ingredients and allows immediate 'hydration (水化)."

Lab Incube improved PLLA, which had rough and irregular particles, into uniformly fine spherical particles, enabling PLLA?previously mainly used only in fillers?to be used in skin boosters. In this process, the Incube Platform technology owned by Sookmyung Women's University protected glutathione and vitamin C with molecular capsules to prevent changes in the internal substances.

The Incube Platform is an original technology owned by Sookmyung Women's University that controls the spacing between molecules to create spaces that can store or gradually release gases, drugs, proteins, and other substances. Sookmyung Women's University selected Lab Incube as a startup company and has supported it through investment attraction and joint technology development to actively commercialize promising technologies.

Oh Jung-san, Director of Industry-Academic Cooperation at Sookmyung Women's University, said, "Lab Incube is a successful case of applying innovative material technology owned by the university to the beauty industry for commercialization," and added, "We will discover and nurture second and third startup companies like Lab Incube for future growth."
