Award-Winning Fermented Ingredient Innovations

hy™, a Korean-owned global leader in fermentation science with a 50-year research legacy, has secured two prestigious accolades at the 2026 NutraIngredients USA Awards. The company won Ingredient of the Year in the beauty-from-within category for its SkinCare probiotic and Microbiome Modulation Ingredient of the Year for its FatSlim ingredient.

The SkinCare ingredient, a specific strain of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, works by supporting gut health to send signals that help preserve collagen, thereby improving skin hydration and elasticity, as well as reducing the appearance of wrinkles. The FatSlim ingredient, on the other hand, is a probiotic derived from traditional kimchi that promotes balanced gut flora to support weight management and metabolic health.

These patented, scientifically backed ingredients are central to the formulation philosophy of ARIH, a premium lifestyle wellness brand under the hy™ umbrella. The company uses them into products like its Postbiotic Energy Drink and Dual Biotic Soda.
