Nusmetics Pte Ltd

Nusmetics Pte Ltd is a Singapore-registered science and technology company specialising in advanced materials, novel delivery systems and innovative diagnostic platforms for skin and healthcare solutions. Founded in 2019 by two scientists from the National University of Singapore, Dr. Nguyen Duc Viet and Dr. Himanshu Kathuria, the company positions itself at the intersection of materials science, drug delivery and cosmeceutical formulation. Its stated mission is to innovate new drug delivery solutions that allow simple and minimalist formulations using fewer actives or chemicals while still offering high efficacy, in pursuit of what it calls true clean beauty and sustainable health. The company's core technology is a micro-needle particle platform it markets under the name Microbee, powered by what it calls Mixable Invisible Needle Technology (MINT). Microbee is described as a tiny micro-spicule particle with spikes on its surface resembling spiky spheres at microscale. It can be mixed into existing skin and health care products such as serums, creams, pastes, gels and drops to increase active absorption, which the company claims can be up to 10 times faster and 1,000 times higher, thereby enhancing efficacy through a simple mix-and-use approach. The platform is offered in variants including Soft Bee, a dissolving microbee made of hyaluronic acid, and Tough Bee, a non-dissolving microbee made from polymers, inorganic or composite materials. The company also references a Smart Bee variant. Beyond its own Microbee product line, Nusmetics provides services aimed at accelerating idea commercialisation. These include A-to-Z prototyping, microneedle and drug delivery development, 3D printing, market validation, product-market fit assessment, manufacturing and scale-up viability, and support spanning nano/micro fabrication, cosmeceutical and pharmaceutical formulation, drug delivery, medical devices, translational research and clinical trials. The company says it has established Innovation Centers for rapid prototyping to shorten the path from concept to commercialisation. Nusmetics operates as a private company and is not known to be listed on a public exchange. Its customer base appears to be business-to-business, serving cosmetic, therapeutic, mesotherapy and medical application developers who wish to incorporate its delivery technology into their own formulations. The company has been recognised as a finalist for a grant award and has sought investment, according to its website news section. As a relatively young enterprise founded in 2019, it remains focused on commercialising its patented delivery platform and expanding partnerships in the cosmeceutical and pharmaceutical industries.

Nusmetics Pte Ltd was founded in 2019 in Singapore by two scientists from the National University of Singapore, Dr. Nguyen Duc Viet and Dr. Himanshu Kathuria. The founders spent over ten years at the National University of Singapore searching for new delivery platforms that could be safe, easy to use, effective and environmentally friendly. According to the company, these features often compromise one another and are difficult to achieve on a single platform, which motivated the development of a unique delivery platform. The result was Microbee, a particle with spikes on its surface resembling a durian structure at microscale. Microbees can be mixed and used with current skin and health care products to increase skin absorption, which the company claims can be up to 10 times faster and 1,000 times higher, thereby significantly enhancing efficacy through a simple mix-and-use approach. This approach is intended to enable less-dose formulations without chemical enhancers and without complicated formulation processes. The company describes itself as a Singapore-registered sci-tech company specialised in advanced materials, novel delivery systems and innovative diagnostic platforms for skin and healthcare solutions. It states that it has been empowered by youthful passion, vigorous scientific backgrounds and strong IP portfolios. Its mission is to innovate new drug delivery solutions that allow simple and minimalist formulations using fewer actives or chemicals while still offering high efficacy, in pursuit of true clean beauty and sustainable health. Nusmetics markets its technology under the Mixable Invisible Needle Technology (MINT) brand. Its product line includes Soft Bee, described as the world's first truly invisible dissolving micro-needle particle made of 100% hyaluronic acid, and Tough Bee, a non-dissolving microbee made of materials such as polymers, inorganic and composite materials. A Smart Bee variant is also referenced. The company states that Microbee can be customised in terms of bee size and spike size, with or without actives, for applications including cosmetics, therapeutics, mesotherapy and medical applications. Beyond products, Nusmetics offers commercialisation services. It provides A-to-Z prototyping to accelerate the path from idea to working prototype, laboratory validation and commercialisation. It also offers market validation, product-market fit identification, and assessment of manufacturing and scale-up viability. Its team covers disciplines from nano/micro fabrication to cosmeceutical and pharmaceutical formulation, drug delivery, medical devices, translational research and clinical trials. The company has established Innovation Centers for rapid prototyping to expedite the realisation of innovative concepts. As of the available evidence, Nusmetics remains a private company. Its website news section notes that it was a finalist for a grant award and is seeking investment. The company continues to focus on commercialising its patented delivery platform and expanding its role as a technology partner in the cosmeceutical and pharmaceutical industries.
