Sai Gon Hi-tech Park creates acne product
Sai Gon Hi-tech Park's research and development centre and the park-based Geneworld Co Ltd yesterday launched a bio-product called Acnegen to prevent acne.
It is made using a combination of extracts from plants and nano gold.
With their supersmall , nano gold particles can better penetrate bacteria and kill them, and this helps Acnegen to prevent bacteria efficiently, eliminate inflammation, reduce skin oil and clear spots.
Acnegen marks a milestone in the co-operation between the R&D centre and companies based in the park in HCM City's District 9, Ngo Vo Ke Thanh, head of the centre, said.
The centre's research results on biopyramid nano gold have been published in international magazines like Journal of Electronic Materials and Advance in Natural Sciences: Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, he said.
It also produces other substances like nano curcumin and nano silver.
At the launch ceremony, the centre and Geneworld also signed an agreement for joint research into nano-technology and bio-technology and technology transfer.
