AquaCos

“AquaCos” is a name with two components: Aquatic and Cosmetics, which embody our vision to foster the topical application of microalgae-derived active ingredients in the wound patch and cosmeceutical industry. We are developing a wound recovery accelerating patch to minimize the duration of suffering from pain, discomfort and inconvenience, and prevent laceration when removing the patch for both acute and chronic wounds patients. An array of beneficial activities of the patch including antibacterial, antifungal, anti-scarring, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidative functions makes us stands out among the peer products as an all-in-one solution for different wounds. With the growing demand for natural and environmentally friendly products in contemporary society, and the huge potential of microalgae extract on skin care formulations, our team is also planning to develop a diversity of microalgal cosmetic products, bringing microalgae to our daily usage and replacing synthetic chemicals.

“AquaCos” 是我們的願景,利用水下生活的微藻應用到傷口貼劑和藥妝品中。我們正在開發一種加速傷口恢復的貼片,用以加速修復、減少痛苦。貼片具有抗菌、抗真菌、抗疤痕、抗炎和抗氧化等多種功能,以應付各種不同的傷口。 同時,隨著社會對天然環保產品的需求增加,以及微藻的護膚潛力,因此我們亦計劃開發多種微藻護膚產品,旨在取代合成化學護膚品,把微藻的應用帶到日常生活中。
