Founder’s story
Soonyoung Shin, the CEO of Agerin, is a woman scholar who has been studying life science for more than 20 years. When she found out about outstanding effects of Ageratum (Meaning “Long-lived” in Greek, a plant that blooms all year long), that can hydrate and illuminate skin, she started to extract its precious ingredients with her own technology. Agerarin got its patent for vitalizing the skin's reproduction cycle, helping to hydrate itself and refine radically, but there was no one willing to develop the plant into cosmetics. Soonyoung Shin, who believed that an action must be taken, founded a venture company called “Agera Biotech” in 2016. Now at Agerin, profit is not the priority, but we are a company who wants to genuinely share the study and effective products widely with the customers.
