Bifida Ferment Filtrate is an ingredient made from Bificobacteria. After fermenting them using biotechnology and crush the output, we get Bifida Ferment Filtrate. It contains not only metabolites, cytoplasma fractions and cell wall constituents but also effective substance such as polysaccharide complexes. These components protect our cells from UV-induced damage, which makes them anti-oxidants.

Tremella Fuciformis grows in Korea, China, Japan and tropical area and parasitic to dead brodleaf trees in summer and fall. Chinese peaple traditionally regard it as a mushroom that suppresses cancer and aging. Yang Guifei is said to have used it for washing her face and body to retain her beautiful and soft skin. The fruiting body is composed of semi-transparent glutineous substance, so it becomes limp when it meets water. Polysaccharides in the Tremella Fuciformis consists of saccharides such as α-mannose, β-glycoronic acid, very effective in retaining moisture in skin by attracting water as 500 times as much than its own weight.

Yam is a perennial climbing plant growing in the mountains of Korea, Japan and China. When we cut yam, sticky liquid containing mucin is emitted. Mucin is one of the components of skin and is helpful for retaining moisture on skin, which results in making our skin moisturized and glossy. Plus, it is reported that mucin has anti-bacterial and anti-oxidant effect. There are more mucin and less water in wild yam than normal one, so nutritions are more concentrated in wild yam. For this reason, wild yam is valuable as an ingredient of food and cosmetics.

Placenta is a structure where nutritional components, residues and gas are exchanged between mother and fetus. It plays an important role in immunological function and release of hormones, not to mention of substance exchange. Cytokines contained in placenta contribute to enhance immune function. Growth factors such as EGF, FGF, SCAF stimulate proliferation and rejuvitation of fibroblasts. In the meantime, GAG and chondroichins help the synthesis of collagen. Furthermore, placenta contains essential amino acids, anti-oxidative enzymes and nucleic acids, are helpful for improving skin elasticity and preventing skin aging.

Deep sea water maintains its temperature under 2℃ and located 200m below the sea level, which sunlight seldom reaches. The temperature of sea water goes down when it passes nearby glaciers in the North Atlantic. At that time, the specific gravity of sea water increases because minerals and salts are eluted to the sea water. Finally the sea water sinks deeply. Compared to surface water, deep sea water almost doesn't contain microbials, impurities. Also, there are much amount of essential minor elements and minerals. Due to its cleaness and nutrition, it is widely used as cosmetics, pharmacy, food and so on.

Lactobacillus is a representative lactic acid producing bacteria. By helping the formation of β-defensin, a kind of anti-bacterial peptide, in skin, it prevents propagation of other microbials on skin and helps skin flora mainitained at normal level. Furthermore, it is effective in reducing acne and modulating inflammatory reaction on skin.

Generally, wine means alcoholic drinks made from fresh grape. During the manufacturing of wine, water is not added compared to other alcoholic beverages. As a result, wine has less alcohol and more organic acids and minerals of grapes. Polyphenol, viniferine and anthocyanin are powerful anti-oxidant, so wine is helpful not only preventing skin aging but also removing facial blemishes.

Streptococcus thermophilus is major dairy starter for making yogurt and cheese, been reported that it produces exopolysaccharides containing hyaluronic acid, one of the NMFs in our skin. For this reason, we can get hyaluronic acid more safely than before, unlike the methods using hyaluronidase or exotoxin.

OGP-Complex is 'Anti-alopecia(;hair loss)' ingredient, which is composed of glycoprotein extracted from Ophiopogon Japonicus and 10 kinds of Korean herb extracts. Morechem revealed that glycoprotein from Ophiopogon Japonicus reduces oxidative stress in both dermal papilla cells . With this result, extracts of Korean medicinal herbs were added based on 3 prescriptions in 東醫寶監(Donguibogam, Korean traditional medicinal book) for hair growth and prevention hair loss. OGP-Complex showed a good anti-inflammatory effect. By affecting both hair bulb and scalp, OGP-Complex is expected to be an excellent ingredient for protecting hair.
