The preference for eco-friendly and natural products is rapidly incrasing, followed by healing and well-being craze. Consumer demand and interest in anti-aging and antioxidant products makes you forget about your age. The new trend is taking

 place from functional cosmetics that emphasized high-tech to material-oriented market that emphasized more on eco-friendliness.

 In order to understand buyers who prefer products that are safe for skin and have excellent functions, we have been conducting researches on eco-friendly materials and fermented materials which are tested safe.

 The main reason fermented materials attract attentions is because they have excellent effects on the skin such as antioxidants, cell activity of the skin, collagen synthesis, whitening, moisturizing, and cell activating.

 In particular, fermented materials have relatively few side effects on various skin conditions, whuch have been proved by numerous papers. Fermentation is a phenomenon in which alcohol is produced by the action of yeast, first discovered in 1875 by a French biologist pasteur.  Pasteur also found when the supply of oxygen is sufficient, the yeast reproduction is strengthened and the number of cells is generated, which means fermentation power is stronger without oxygen.

 Fermented cosmetics can be broadly divided into natural fermentation, superior strain, and complex fermented cosmetics. Naturally fermented cosmetics are cosmetics made by fermenting natural ingredients, includes oriental medicine, plants, and alcoholic fermentation. Recently, fermented ingredients are classified by the concept or efficacy, such as beans, rice, beer, mung beans, paprika, and wine.

 Fermented cosmetics with excellent strains are products made by extracting beneficial microorganisms through fermentation process by technicalizing the fermentation process itself. Complex fermented cosmetics are cosmetics made by applying natural fermentation and fermantation of superior strains at the same time.
