In China, cosmetics company JALA Group has printed Asian skin using 3D printing. Using skin cells from Asians and bioink, they plan on using the printed skin to expand their research and development capabilities so they can test their cosmetics on the 3D printed skin. JALA Group focuses on cosmetics for Oriental women and says there are structure and texture differences between Asian and Caucasian skin which is why they are printing Asian skin specifically. Even though it wasn’t easy and took 98 experiments until they reached success, their 3D printed skin will allow JALA Group to assess cosmetic effectiveness and safety and develop more advanced cosmetics without having to test on animals or humans.
