Large-Scale Model for Formulation StabilityCase Study
Multiple Light Data Analysis Project: Before sample production, stability testing is a necessary step. Traditionally, this has beenconducted through manual observation, which is relatively subjective. In contrast, multiple light detection is a relatively novel testingmethod. It measures the particle distribution of samples by analyzing the light intensity spectra generated when a laser penetratesthe sample cream. This instrumental detection approach is faster and more objective than manual observation. Currently, there isno well-established stability evaluation mechanism in the industry. In this project, executable ?les and data submission portals weredeveloped to enable the automatic uploading of multiple light detection data. This facilitates rapid index calculation, data cleansing,

By developing a feature dictionary and scoring rules relatedto stability, and through natural language processing, the project standardized the featuredescriptions of sample stability, quanti?ed the degree of change in these features, automaticallyprocessed text-based stability reports, and rapidly generated stability scores.This analysis method and application have been granted a patent certi?cate.

Tibetan ke?r mushroom, a natural fermented fungus originating from Tibet, features a multi-layerednetwork structure composed primarily of polysaccharides and proteins. The fermentation broth ofTibetan ke?r mushroom possesses antioxidant and anti-in?ammatory activities, e?ectively scavengingfree radicals. Through bi-directional fermentation technology, Marubi makes full use of the enzymesystem of Tibetan kefir mushroom cells to extract the active ingredients from milk and Scutellariabaicalensis root powder. Simultaneously, we retain the active substances produced by the fermentationof Tibetan ke?r mushroom itself, achieving a synergistic e?ect among the ingredients. This not onlyexerts the skin care and repair e?ects but also enhances the overall health status of the skin.

Self-developed CollagenThrough the translation pause technology, Marubi optimizes the nucleotide sequence ofcollagen. Its core components are type I and type III collagen, which are 100% consistentwith the amino acid sequence of human native collagen. It can be e?ciently absorbed bythe skin, enhancing the skin elasticity and ?rmness, signi?cantly reducing various wrinklesuch as crow's feet, under-eye lines, and nasolabial folds, and repairing the skin.

Reverse micelle gel penetration enhancement technology is a technique that improves thetransmission and absorption of water-soluble components by forming reverse micelle poolswith phospholipids. Marubi encapsulates recombinant collagen in phospholipid reverse micellepools to create the exclusive lipid-soluble recombinant collagen (Micapermeate? Col).The encapsulated recombinant collagen can enhance penetration into the stratum corneumlipids without disrupting the skin barrier. It also increases the stability of the protein andpromotes its e?cient absorption on the skin. This innovation also enables the application ofrecombinant collagen, a water-soluble ingredient, in oil-based skincare products.

In 2024,Marubi drew inspiration from the cloud collars motifs found in Dunhuang murals from the Sui and Tang dynasties, taking thebutter?y as a design muse. We integrated the patterns and hues of Chaozhou Embroidery into our products, infusing themwith the essence of intangible cultural heritage and setting a new trend in skincare that celebrates Chinese aesthetics.
In addition to incorporating intangible cultural heritage elements into product design, Marubi further promotes heritagethrough online and o?ine activities. We have forged in-depth cooperation with many inheritors and artists of ChaozhouEmbroidery, inviting intangible cultural heritage experts to create works using different intangible cultural heritagetechniques, including cloud collars designs, Suzhou Embroidery, paper-cutting, kingfisher feather art, filigree inlay, andbatik. We have also organized intangible cultural heritage-themed exhibitions to showcase butterfly-themed works thatintegrate Chaozhou Embroidery elements. Through co-creative interactive activities, we have provided consumers with freshcultural experiences and encouraged more people to participate in the inheritance of intangible cultural heritage.

Improve the skill level of equipment operators to decrease the consumption of consumables.By controlling auxiliary material waste in the production process, Marubi saved about 10.90 tons of alcohol,more than 200 boxes of latex gloves, and reduced 50L of the cleaning water for the inkjet printer (hazardouswaste) during the reporting period.
Introduction of PETurnover Boxes
After the introduction of PE turnover boxes, the use of turnover cardboard boxes decreased by 36,000compared with 2023, saving a total of 12.5 tons of cardboard boxes. Calculated based on the fact that
0.7 kilograms of CO2 equivalent are produced per kilogram of cardboard box manufactured, this has
indirectly reduced carbon emissions by approximately 8.8 tons.Optimization ofPackaging Box Use
By increasing the use of universal packaging boxes, the number of SKUs was streamlined from
more than 30 to 11.Cardboard BoxRecycling
Establish a cardboard box recycling system to screen intact boxes after unpacking, with 30% of them
being reused within the department, reducing the use of new cardboard boxes. For the remaining 70%
of non-recyclable discarded cardboard boxes are collaboratively handled with professional recycling
suppliers to ensure the environmentally friendly disposal and maximize recycling value.Optimizationof Express BoxPackaging Materials
From the outer express box to the inner product paper box, promote the coverage of the use
of zipper tear boxes, replacing the traditional packaging of plastic ?lm and paper box, thereby
reducing the use of shrink ?lm. Adopt minimalist designs instead of complex printing to reduce
