Specialty Natural Products PCL. (SNPS) has partnered with the National Nanotechnology Center (NANOTEC) under the National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA) to develop B GOLD™, a glister gold liquid compounds from black ginger extract. This initiative aims to elevate Thai herbal products to an international level and aligns with the BCG (Bio-Circular-Green) Economy Implementation Plan, addressing technology for the aging population in all dimensions.
Associate Professor Dr. Panvipa Krisdaphong, Chairman of the Board of Directors at Specialty Natural Products Public Company Limited (SNPS), a leader in research and development innovation for creating cosmetic, dietary supplement, phyto-medicine, and herbal products, announced the successful collaboration with NANOTEC. The development of B GOLD™, a pure black ginger extract with the highest flavonoid content in nano-sized particles, represents a patented innovation.
B GOLD™ is an active golden-yellow liquid (Liquid gold particles) derived from a special extraction process using nanotechnology to preserve the full value of essential flavonoids. The nano-sized particles enhance the absorption of active ingredients into the skin, resulting in clearer and faster effects than conventional extracts. Clinical tests have shown its effectiveness in antioxidant activity, slowing aging, protecting skin cells from damage by 35.3-56.9%, protecting DNA from damage leading to aging by 44.6%, and reducing wrinkles and dark spots while stimulating collagen production by 48-50%.
Additionally, the advanced nanotechnology gives B GOLD™ high stability, allowing for long-term storage and maintaining the highest flavonoid content, making it more effective than standard extracts. Research on its efficacy and safety by third party ensures its safety and quality, while also enhancing the value of Thai black ginger and promoting the export of the country’s natural products.
Dr. Theeraya Krisdaphong, CEO of SNPS, added that B GOLD™ enhances the value of high-value agricultural raw materials, boosting Thailand’s competitiveness in Circular bioeconomy. SNPS is currently signing commercial agreements with leading global companies in various countries to deliver B GOLD™ to cosmetic and cosmeceutical manufacturers in countries such as France, Korea, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Japan, India, the United Kingdom, Germany, Australia, and New Zealand.
B GOLD™ is circular beauty ingredient which expected to generate positive Social impacts toward local farmers, Economic impact toward effective natural active at competitive price, and Environmental impact untilizing green production. The development of B GOLD™ aligns with BCG economic policy, emphasizing the optimal use of natural resources and adding value with high-quality natural products.
