Worlds Best Microneedle Provider, SmallLab Co.,Ltd.
Founded in August 2008, SmallLab stands as an industry expert in the arena of microneedle platform technology. Microneedles, minute needles about one third of the thickness of a human hair, offer a transformative drug delivery system that introduces vaccines or medication through the skin's outermost layer, the stratum corneum. This innovative method provides a seamless, pain-free pathway for effective drugs to permeate the body, proving to be an invaluable tool in localized pharmaceutical and skincare treatments. With no associated pain, minimal infection risk, and bypassed metabolic processes, SmallLab's microneedles have made waves as a ground-breaking drug delivery platform.
Hyaluronic Acid Microneedle Patches Leading the K-Beauty Industry
SmallLab's 'Hyaluronic Acid Microneedle Patch' is a state-of-the-art transdermal drug delivery system (TDDS) that forms microscopic channels in the skin to facilitate direct absorption of active ingredients. SmallLab holds proprietary rights to the core manufacturing technology that crafts these dissolvable microneedles from biocompatible materials. The developed 'Hyaluronic Acid Microneedle Patch' has sparked industry-wide interest, promising to command a significant global market share by promoting exports through its applications in acne patches and functional patches for wrinkles and whitening within the beauty sector. Recognized as the '2022 Next-Generation World-Class Product' by the Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency, this trailblazing innovation has propelled SmallLab Inc. to new heights.
SmallLab holds the cutting-edge technology of Micromolding-LSCR, facilitating the creation of microneedles in a wide array of shapes and sizes. The Large Surface Contact Ratio technology is a game-changer, enabling the high-volume manufacturing of bespoke microneedle patches, tailored to the exact specifications of clients. This innovative technology stands out for its potential for high-capacity drug loading, made possible by the high-density needle configuration within a given area. Moreover, the needle tips measure a mere 3µm, ensuring almost painless skin penetration and boasting a high degree of skin penetration efficiency. This technology is adept at delivering a versatile range of products tailored to client specifications and opens up the potential for applications in diverse forms and sizes, from eye patches and wrinkle patches designed for localized areas to larger-scale projects such as face mask packs and T-zone patches.
ELDEEN: SmallLab's Flagship Brand Harnessing Micromolding-LSCR Technology
SmallLab's in-house brand, ELDEEN, ingeniously repurposes the word 'NEEDLE'. At the heart of ELDEEN's technology lies the 'microdart', a minute, pyramid-shaped structure forged from hyaluronic acid and active ingredients. When a microdart encounters skin moisture, it completely dissolves, enabling swift and effective delivery of active ingredients. Leveraging this groundbreaking technology, SmallLab has developed and marketed a myriad of products, encompassing patches for crow's feet, blemishes, redness, and whitening care.
In partnership with an array of domestic and international cosmetics brands, SmallLab has introduced microneedle patches, microneedle rollers, and microneedle stamps, and is currently developing a microneedle mask pack. With ongoing overseas sales operations spanning the United States, Russia, Japan, the UK, and Poland, SmallLab’s pioneering efforts have been recognized by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups, leading to its inclusion in the '2023 Global Strong SMEs 1000+' program. This milestone serves as a springboard for SmallLab, as it strives to expand its global footprint, unlock new markets and opportunities, and sustain its commitment to advancing human beauty and health through ongoing technological prowess.
