From the crab shell, skincare products Tottori University's venture president will show off on September 12 at 10:45
Before the sale of skin care products using crab shells, the president of a venture company from Tottori University who was involved in the development showed off the products at the Tottori Prefectural Office.
Three people visited the Tottori Prefectural Government Office, including Professor Shinsuke Ifuku of Tottori University who was involved in product development.
Professor Ifuku, who is also the president of a venture company established at the university, developed a new material called "chitin nanofiber" from the crab shell of Tottori Prefecture special product. Before selling hand cream and lip balm using new materials from the 12th, we met with Governor Hirai to introduce our products.
Prof. Ifuku emphasizes that the component analysis shows the moisturizing effect of the skin, and that crab shells that have been landed at Sakaiminato can be used to effectively utilize crab shells that have been thrown away so far. It was.
Governor Hirai said, “I would like to support the increase in the types of products as a local industry,” while actually applying hand cream on my hands to check the comfort.
Prof. Ifuku said, “I started my research with the idea that I could use shells well. I would like to use the benefits and resources of Tottori Prefecture to help revitalize the industry.”
