Securing Competitiveness in Nanotechnology Based on Eco-friendly and Natural Materials

SEOHO LAB Co., Ltd. has announced that its proprietary "Method for Manufacturing Gold Nanoparticles Using Abelmoschus manihot (Gold Hibiscus) Extract" was officially registered as a patent on November 26, 2025.

The registered technology is a process that enables the stable production of gold nanoparticles using Gold Hibiscus extract without the use of organic solvents or harmful reducing agents. Based on this technology, SEOHO LAB has developed AbelGold™, an eco-friendly and low-irritant nano-ingredient, and has applied it to various product lines including skincare and scalp care.

This patent registration is a recognition of the company’s technical value in several areas:

• Originality of natural-based nanomaterial technology

• Sustainability of the manufacturing process

• Efficiency in delivering high-functional active ingredients

In collaboration with the Korea Institute of Ceramic Engineering and Technology (KICET) and various university research institutes, SEOHO LAB has verified the antioxidant and antibacterial efficacy of Gold Hibiscus-based nanoparticles. This technology has garnered significant interest at domestic and international trade fairs. In particular, as demand for natural nanomaterials rises in Hong Kong and Southeast Asian markets, SEOHO LAB is receiving continuous partnership requests from global clients.

A researcher at SEOHO LAB stated, "The technology to manufacture gold nanoparticles using only natural extracts is one of our core competencies. This patent registration is a meaningful achievement that officially recognizes its technical value." They added, "We will continue to contribute to the global expansion of K-beauty technology by developing safe and effective natural-based materials."

SEOHO LAB is currently conducting follow-up research on natural UV protection materials, antibacterial/antioxidant functional ingredients, and hair protection materials, with plans to accelerate its entry into the global raw material market.
