Equip For Skin is an overseas export company that has been exporting medical equipment for plastic surgery and cosmetic surgery for over 15 years. Tripeptide ingredients developed by the domestic partner SupadElixir Co. Ltd. Binterin (anti-inflammatory), Synepin (EGF tripeptide), Syndermin (FGF tripeptide), Adiponin (Adiponectin tripeptide), Winhibin (whitening tripeptide) and active ingredients Roha is focusing on expanding overseas markets by exporting cosmetics and cosmeceutical products (Hahn's Peptide, etc.).

Equip For Skin's main business targets are cosmetics manufacturers and OEMs looking for new cosmetic ingredients. It is possible to produce and supply customized products for medical equipment manufacturers who want post-treatment products for equipment used for skin treatment such as lasers.

Equip For Skin's “Tripeptides” are small signaling protein molecules that contain three amino acids and two peptide bonds. Some “tripeptide” molecules are synthesized naturally in the human body and are responsible for several important functions, such as improving cellular communication.

Biomimetic scientist and professor Dr. JH Hahn confirmed that there was no functional difference between 3-4 amino acid peptides (tripeptide or tetrapeptide) and 10-50 amino acid polypeptides, and invented many functional “tripeptides”. It can be used for pharmaceutical and cosmetic purposes. In addition, it was proven to penetrate the epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous layers in the skin permeability test.

'Tripeptide' with a purity of 95% or higher is a cosmetic ingredient that is very stable because there is no change in physical properties at 50°C (HPLC analysis), and has no cytotoxicity and skin sensitivity. 'Tripeptide', a signaling protein, can be used as a topical beauty ingredient to improve various skin conditions such as skin soothing, anti-inflammatory, skin barrier formation, skin regeneration, anti-aging, pigmentation, whitening and hair regrowth.

Supad Elixir's Peptide (SE-Tripeptide™) is a human-derived peptide, developed as a low molecular weight material of 500 Da or less consisting of 3 to 5 amino acids bonds, and easily reaches the dermal layer with only application. Accordingly, unlike protein materials with a very low skin transmittance such as stem cell extract, it exhibits superior efficacy with high transmittance and is easy to use. In addition, Supad Elix's peptide is a formulation that combines the advantages of small molecule compounds and proteins, and is highly effective, safe and convenient. It is a biomaterial that is easy to produce and store and has a remarkably high development success rate. It is Supad Elric's proprietary material that can be developed as a functional cosmetic and new drug material.
