KOSDAQ-listed company Moa Life Plus announced on January 6 that its bio-based skincare brand DOCTORS PGA has received an 'Excellent' rating in the human application safety test conducted by the German dermatological testing institute Dermatest®.
This test was conducted as a human patch test to evaluate skin irritation and safety on 30 adults. As a result, all four products in the DOCTORS PGA Water 5000x line-DOCTORS PGA Water 5000x Boosting Shot Ampoule, DOCTORS PGA Water 5000x Smoothing Cream, DOCTORS PGA Water 5000x Intensive Wrinkle Cream, and DOCTORS PGA Water 5000x Boosting Mask-were confirmed to be safe with no skin irritation reactions observed.
Based on the test results, Dermatest® evaluated that the products demonstrated excellent skin tolerance from both clinical and dermatological perspectives. This objectively verifies that all four products in the DOCTORS PGA Water 5000x line can be safely used on a daily basis by a variety of skin types, including sensitive skin.
Dermatest®, headquartered in M?nster, Germany, is a global dermatological testing and certification institute with over 40 years of clinical trial expertise. The institute conducts rigorous human application tests on cosmetics, medical devices, and household products. In particular, Dermatest® certification is granted based on actual human skin test results, not just document review, and is recognized as a highly trusted 'safety indicator' among European consumers and global premium brands.
DOCTORS PGA is a derma-cosmetic brand that uses poly-gamma-glutamic acid (PGA), a polymer moisturizing ingredient derived from microorganisms, as its core ingredient. The brand has continuously focused on developing products that maintain deep hydration, strengthen the skin barrier, and improve skin condition. The Water 5000x line, which has received Dermatest® certification, features powerful hydration boosting, skin texture improvement, and elasticity care based on high concentrations of PGA, as well as a low-irritation formula suitable for daily use. The lineup is recognized for both its functionality and its safety and reliability.
A Moa Life Plus representative stated, "This Dermatest® certification objectively proves the scientific, evidence-based derma-cosmetic philosophy and safety-focused product development direction that DOCTORS PGA has pursued. We will continue to introduce high-performance, high-safety PGA skincare solutions that can be trusted and used by various skin types, including sensitive skin."
DOCTORS PGA plans to use this Dermatest® certification as an opportunity to strengthen its competitiveness as a derma-cosmetic brand not only in Korea but also in the global market. The company aims to further solidify its position as a 'science-proven hydration and skin barrier specialist brand' by securing additional clinical data and expanding its PGA-based product lines in the future.
