Fermentation Techniques

We continuously research fermentation techniques to develop unique cosmetic raw materials
by exploring and isolating useful microorganisms from the nature.

Sugar Fermentation

Sugar FermentationSugar Fermentation

Sugar fermentation is a two-stage fermentation technique that extracts the active ingredients from the raw material with honey and carbonated water, then uses lactic acid bacteria and yeast. Compared to regular honey, we use nectar honey, which is rich in vitamins and minerals and lactic acid bacteria isolated from fermented foods. The two-stage fermentation process maximizes skin benefits. It can help moisturize and prevent wrinkles.

Oil Fermentation

Oil FermentationOil Extraction

Fermented vegetable oil increases skin absorption and provides a refreshing feel. Fermented oil does not clog pores and has a less greasy feel compared to regular oil. Fermented oil helps regulate the skin's oil and moisture balance and forms a natural moisturizing sheild.

Fragrance Fermentation

Fragrance FermentationFragrance Fermentation

It is a fermentation technique that microorganisms secrete fragrant substances during the metabolic process. It can improve unpleasant odor of existing fermented raw materials. It is safer for the skin because it does not use artificial fragrances or artificially added fragrances.

NeoChem's unique strain obtained from nature

Bioconversion Process

Bioconversion is a technology that uses microbial fermentation and enzyme processing technology to change the structure of biologically active substances and increase the content and bioavailability of active ingredients. Development and customization of fermentation techniques using strains owned by Neochem are possible.

Search for original material

We look for appropriate fermentation materials and study potential skin benefits that materials can have.

Strain selection

Strains are screened to select excellent strains.

Development of fermentation technique

We develop fermentation techniques using our own strains.

Bioconversion

We develop materials with differentiated efficacy.

Fermentation

We develope order-made fermented products based on customer’s requirements.
