As a country surrounded by the sea on three sides, Korea has one of the world’s most abundant water resources. However, it often fails to utilize them because it cannot find a way or they are imported from abroad. In 2016, South Korea tried to localize salmon by shipping the first salmon farmed off the coast of Goseong, Gangwon Province, but failed to commercialize. However, the recent research and discovery of various ingredients, including biomaterials, in salmon is opening up new markets.

Salmon DNA, PDRN products and PDRN hair loss care shampoo
Chunghaedam is operated as a Sokcho manufacturing company among the nine companies fostering local industries through long-established R&D, marketing, distribution, and export businesses. Chunghaedam has been making efforts to expand the sales area of various processed products as well as red crab meat and chitosan products that each company is exporting. In the East Sea, salmon is available in spring and fall. Among the active ingredients that can be obtained from salmon by-products, the company focused on salmon DNA, PDRN. PDRN helps the A2 receptor to enter the cell, and once inside the cell, PDRN helps synthesize DNA in necrotic or inactive cells. This process aids in wound or tissue regeneration. PDRN is used to shorten and normalize wound healing for pressure ulcers, wounds, skin grafts, and burns, as well as for foot ulcers, scarring conditions, and skin aesthetics. Noting this effect, domestic pharmaceutical companies have registered 37 drugs with PDRN as the main ingredient as of March 2023, and the application of PDRN is being applied to cosmetics as well as medicines. Making the most if the effect, Chunghaedam offers Choi’s Choi’s Lab PDRN Hair Loss Improvement Shampoo, which is good for hair loss care and management. PDRN Hair Loss Improvement Shampoo, which contains PDRN as a cell regeneration material, is a functional shampoo that has the effect of improving and preventing hair loss, as well as helping to treat head wounds, skin regeneration, and anti-inflammation. The shampoo contains natural extracts from flatweed, camellia leaves, carob berries, mulberry bark, vitamin berries, salvia, and persimmon, which are good for the scalp and hair, and help promote healthy, strong hair. The shampoo also has an optimized PH slightly acidic to balance the oil and water balance of the scalp for a comfortable and pleasant care.
