Cosmetic industry which is based on chemical industry and chemical engineering recently breaks the boundary of technical areas by introducing bio-nano technology which is fused between bio-technology and nano-technology. In recent study of cosmetic industry, development of specific targeting material based on skin metabolism was introduced by bio-technology while nano-technology introduced formulation and evaluation technology by applying selective targeting technology such as stabilization of active ingredient and stimulation of skin penetration. For example, cosmeceutical and nutricosmetics are newly emerged by adding its functionality from beauty oriented cosmetics to the health care such as disease mitigation. Kolmar korea which is specified its R&D area to cosmetics, medical supplies and functional foods is hardly working on fusion technology to strengthen the advantage of each field by interchanging our information and technologies. For examples, studies regarding anti-aging and isoflavone saponin from soy bean oil by using bio-fusion technology were conducted as well as studies regarding anti allergenic and NONI adventitious root treatment materials were conducted by using biomass technology. In addition, study on non aqueous liquid crystal was proceeded to improve stability of active ingredients and skin penetration. Recently, series of work regarding astaxanthin for optimizing degree of purity, extraction concentration and extraction method were conducted. In this recent study, New vesicle which is consist of skin compatible component is used rather than conventionally used hydrogenated lecithin for better cosmetic use. Particle size, color, zeta potential, TEM and FF-SEM analysis were operated to check its stability and CLSM was used for checking skin penetration. Therefore, It is now leading the new functional cosmetic field by establishing formulatory stabilization technology using nano capsulation and developing DDS technology for effective skin penetration.
