Nanocrystal received attention by showing its own technology at '2019 Korea Beauty Expo' (K-Beauty Expo Korea), a beauty industry fair representing Korea. '2019 K-Beauty Expo Korea' was held in KINTEX from October 10th to 13th.

Excellent technology is essential to making good cosmetics. Especially in the basic process. This is because the more various technologies that go into the basic process, the more various cosmetics can be made. Nanocrystal is a company that develops powders and pigments and develops essential elements of cosmetics to make good cosmetics. It produces industrial coatings and TiO2 and ZnO dispersions intensively.

At this K-Beauty Expo, Nanocrystal attracted the attention of visitors with a product in which inorganic sunscreen was dispersed. This is because it showed the result of ZnO dispersion technology, the main item of nanocrystal.
Inorganic sunscreens have a characteristic of increasing the blocking effect as the degree of dispersion of ultraviolet rays increases. The higher the dispersion effect, the better the UV protection performance, and even if a small amount is used, the targeted UV protection effect can be seen. Nanocrystal received attention by exhibiting a product with improved dispersion effect of inorganic sunscreen.

Nanocrystal's high-dispersive sunscreen products help develop sunscreens of various formulations. This is because the product basically has a high degree of UV protection, so it is possible to make various types of sunscreen. Using the product Nanocrystal introduced this time, it is possible to implement various types of sunscreen, such as sun sticks and sun pacts, as well as cream-formed sunscreens.

There are a total of 16 TiO2 and ZnO dispersions held by Nanocrystal. TiO2 dispersion of 30-60% standard is used as a sunscreen to block UV-B. The standard of 40-70% ZnO dispersion is 40-70% and is used as a sunscreen to block UV-A.

Nanocrystal's products are characterized by low cloudiness. To see the effect of blocking UV rays by applying sunscreen, you need to apply a large amount of sunscreen. The recommended amount of sunscreen is about 500 won coins. However, if you apply such a large amount, there is a disadvantage in that the white turbidity is severe and the face becomes white. Nanocrystal products have the advantage that even if you apply sunscreen as much as the recommended amount, there is little cloudiness, so it can be applied thickly to reliably block UV rays.

Nanocrystal is backed by the foundation technology of the Korean cosmetics industry, which is expanding into the global market. Since it is a manufacturer based on basic science, it has strengths in technology and focuses on fostering basic technology that is helpful to the Korean cosmetics industry. Nanocrystal's goal is to develop materials that allow OEMs to develop a variety of products using basic science, which has a great technological ripple effect.

Nanocrystal actively communicated with customers through this K-beauty fair. We took the time to grasp the needs of our customers in the field. Nanocrystal is considering developing not only sunscreen with high dispersing effect, but also silicone-free products.
