Boosters Incorporates Bio-Materials Company "Purebio" as Subsidiary
FSN's subsidiary Boosters has completed its investment in Purebio and incorporated the company as a subsidiary.
According to Boosters, this investment is a strategic move to incorporate Purebio, which possesses proven proprietary material technology, as a subsidiary, thereby building an integrated ecosystem that covers everything from ingredient development and product planning to brand growth. Through this integration, Boosters intends to internalize core technologies to further differentiate the products of both itself and its partner brands, ultimately securing brand competitiveness in the K-beauty and K-healthcare sectors.
Purebio, now a subsidiary of Boosters, is a bio-materials company with unique commercialized technologies for rare ingredients such as Ampelopsis japonica (woody vine) extract and sea urchin shell extract, which have had limited applications within Korea. Purebio's competitiveness lies not only in single ingredients or single functionalities, but also in securing a multilayered patent portfolio spanning substances, fermentation processing, compositions, and applications. Currently, the company holds a total of 13 invention patents (8 registered, 5 pending application) in Korea and abroad, covering: ▲ hair loss prevention, hair promotion, scalp improvement ▲ hair growth stimulation ▲ antibacterial and deodorizing effects, as well as ▲ cognitive function (dementia) ▲ vision and retinal disease improvements ▲ arthritis treatment, among various original and application patents in medical and life sciences fields.
Boosters plans to develop its own brands utilizing Purebio's original material technologies, and will apply these exclusive ingredients and techniques to both existing partner brands and new brands to enhance their product competitiveness. In particular, Purebio's ingredient competitiveness—which can be widely utilized in beauty and healthcare— is expected to create high synergy with partner brands that are growing alongside Boosters in areas such as scalp care, hair loss, skin care, hair, and body products. Furthermore, by combining ingredient patents, R&D, and manufacturing capabilities with strengths in branding, commerce, distribution, and marketing, the company aims to evolve into a brand builder that connects every stage of the value chain, from ingredient development and product commercialization to brand growth.
