UICEL COSMETIC FILM SUBSTRATE

UICEL (ultra-thin film) is the first‐ever truly transparent high‐quality semitransparent thin film coating consisting of a shiny UVA–UVB light‐shielding polyester resin, which protects the skin from aging by blocking harmful ultraviolet rays. UICEL can be used on normal skin (not sensitive to plasticizers or solvents), as well as on tanned or burned skin, making it suitable for use in sunscreen, foundations, and other cosmetics. The company was founded in Seoul in April 2016.

Uicel provides an ultra thin cosmetic film substrate that prevents age spots, side effects of UV radiation exposure that result in premature aging and wrinkled skin. The company also provides a system for manufacturing cosmetics with this substrate. In addition, the company provides a clear PMMA film through its subsidiary UICEL TECH CO., LTD., which is a transparent, high quality and thin ethylcellulose film used widely in the printing industry.

UICEL's cosmetic film substrate is made from polyester resin, which shields ultraviolet rays and does not contain harmful substances for the skin. The substrate has a thickness of only 5 μm (0.19 mil) and it is transparent enough to show the real colors of lipsticks or eyeshadow pigments, but its light-shielding property effectively blocks ultraviolet rays (invisible light present in sunlight).

UICEL's transparent film substrate is manufactured by the company's own R&D lab. The manufacturing process of the substrate itself includes synthesis of UICEL's own chemical compounds.

The resulting product has an ultra-thin thickness that allows it to be applied even on sensitive skin with minimal risk of allergic reactions or adverse chemical reactions.

Compared to conventional plastic films utilized in the industry, UICEL's film is transparent, natural and safe for both men and women alike.

UICEL 's chemical substances are produced through suitable synthetic methods available for production of any kind of chemicals. The company's team of engineers has developed the appropriate techniques to ensure the most consistent quality of the resulting substrate.

UICEL's customers are mainly Korean cosmetics companies who want to produce cosmetics with UICEL as a material.

On the other hand, UICEL is also interested in exporting its products abroad. The company aims for sales of its film substrate to cosmetics companies in Southeast Asia and Latin America, as well as production and sales of contact lenses and other medical products based on UICEL's technology.
