Cosmetic mask manufacturer Genic (CEO: Yu Hyeonoh) has been recognized first in other countries including the UK, the US, Italy, and France for their patented technology. The company has established itself as a mask OEM/ODM company in the cosmetics industry after developing water-soluble hydrogel for the first time in Korea, and now has a 30 percent of market share in Korea's skincare mask market.
Now let's take a look at Genic's most well-known product: a Hydrogel Mask. An innovative premium mask made with gel, a form between liquid and solid, this product is selling at a high price due to the difficult and complicated manufacturing process. It was patented for a technology named TCD - transdermal cosmetic delivery system - through which the active ingredients are delivered effectively into the skin by reacting directly to the skin temperature instead of the air. Using a bio-matrix that has high affinity for human boy for safer application, the mask refreshes the skin with the unique cooling effect of hydrogel. The coolness was maintained at less than 10 degrees when observed by an infrared camera, while it has moisture content 11 to 18 percent higher than general skincare mask sheets.
Cell-Derma Magic Night Film Program, another popular product of Genic, was designed for more rapid and intensive treatment of the targeted areas based on the high concentration of the active ingredients like coenzyme Q10, peptide, collagen, and hyaluronic acid. The product has firming effects to improve the fine lines and wrinkles on the face and neck. Cel-Derma Magic Night Ampoule has been certified for its wrinkle-improvement effects and contains extracts of aloe vera and pomegranate to keep the skin moisturized for a long time. The effects will be more clearly felt if you use it in combination with Magic Night Film.
Genic developed water-soluble hydrogel based on effective bio-matrix, by designing transdermal cosmetic delivery system, which applied drug delivery system (DDS) to cosmetics so that the active ingredients penetrate the skin. Their products are sold at retailers around the world: Walgreen and Target in the US and Boots in the UK, etc. Apart from the foreign competitors from the same category - L'OREAL from France, AVEDA from the US, and DHC from Japan - there is no major rival in Korea who can match Genic.
Genic has been awarded the KOTRA Seal of Excellence since 2010.
