Daily Moisturizing Laboratory
Derma: B is created by researchers at Neopharm, who are the professionals in Hydration Science and possess the internationally-patented skin barrier technology of MLE®.
" Neopharm developed Atopalm fifteen years ago, bringing smiles on the faces of numerous individuals who had concerns with their sensitive skins. "
After fifteen years, we thought that now would be the right time for developing a 'Reliable Body Moisturizing Solution' not only for those who have sensitive skin but also for those with healthy skin and who want to maintain and keep their skin even healthier, while offsetting potential skin troubles in advance.
Laboratory Story 1
- Continuous efforts to realize a reliable hydrating formula for the skin
Started with the Pseudo-Ceramide project in 1997, Derma: B Hydration Science Lab has developed ceramide, an activating agent for skin physiology based on bio-technology and derma-technology as well as the Multi-Lamellar Emulsion (MLE®) that has the same lamellar structure found in the lipids in each layer of the skin.
Using its own MLE® technology, Derma: B Hydration Science Lab has developed diverse products for dry and sensitive skin caused mostly by the deterioration of protective function of our skin. Along with the development of cosmeceutical products, Derma: B Hydration Science Lab is making ongoing efforts so as to protect our skin and realize truly reliable and thorough hydration solutions for all.

Laboratory Story 2
- Its Long-held Passion and Know-how
Consisting of doctors, pharmacology professors, and engineering PhDs equipped with long-accumulated know-how, professional researchers at Derma: B Hydration Science Lab are constantly achieving technological innovations while consistently publishing numerous research papers and theses, thanks to their unwavering passion for cosmetic products.
Highly praised by one of the most prestigious experts in dermatology, MLE® technology’s excellence in hydrating sensitive skin and has been proven through clinical trials is now a globally-recognized skin care solution. The results of clinical trials have been published domestically and internationally, and Derma B products have proven their effectiveness in joint clinical tests by Yonsei University College of Medicine and Chungnam National University School of Medicine.
After numerous trials and errors, we have finally developed a safe skin care solution free of paraben-, PEG-, and sulfate-based components, which might deteriorate the safety of products. Also, Derma: B products are not steroid-based; they have been dermatologist tested, as well as proven safe after passing safety tests at RCH Pharmaceutical & Cosmetic Analytical Laboratories, an FDA-accredited institution.
