FOR INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY CATEGORY WINS AUSMETICS DAILY CHEMICALS (GUANGZHOU) CO., LTD (China)
One juror praised this lightweight, jelly consistency sunscreen as “a science-driven sunscreen that finally feels wearable, smart, safe, and beautifully executed.” The product provides broad-spectrum protection with skin tone correction in a variety of tints. Formulated to combine ultra-high efficacy with safety, the formula spotlights Ausmetics’ patent-pending, engineered double encapsulation system.
This sees UV filters microencapsulated in a silicone oil phase to minimize skin penetration, while water-phase capsules carry astaxanthin and rutin to offer both antioxidant support and a natural tint. Astaxanthin particularly can raise SPF by 9%, while 0.5% rutin extends defense into the blue-light range. While offering SPF 50+ protection, the formula has a clear, bouncy, jelly texture that feels ultralight and non-sticky. “The sensory feel is incredible, [it] absorbs easily into skin [and is] infused with great active ingredients too,” noted one juror. The formula comes in different tints thanks to its naturally derived pigments: sheer green from rutin to counteract redness; golden orange from astaxanthin for radiance; and soft blue from astaxanthin and rutin for brightening. “Technically advanced yet highly wearable – a perfect example of science meeting consumer delight,” commented one panel member.
FOR MAKE-UP FORMULA CATEGORY WINS TAIR JIUH ENTERPRISE CO LTD (Taiwan Region)
One juror pronounced this transformative jelly-mousse-powder formula “a game-changer for the masstige-premium clean beauty segment.” Another called it “a stunning innovation – playful, technical, and sustainable all at once,” that “represents the future of base textures.”
The formula employs Tair Jiuh’s patented JCP™ ionic adhesion technology, creating a positive–negative charge for waterproof, long-lasting wear that’s weightless and non-sticky, without using film-formers. The formula applies with a jelly consistency, then transforms to an airy mousse, before finishing as a soft matte powder. This transformative texture earned the formula praise as a “standout innovation with its jelly-to-powder texture and cloud-skin feel” achieved “without using silicones.” Among its ingredients are 75% water and 11% oil for a comforting, cooling feel. It also encompasses a 1% TJ RICENZA™ skin care complex featuring hyper-fermented rice water, rice peptides, and ethyl ferulate, plus emollients for hydration, all clinically proven to smooth, brighten, and reduce wrinkles. The formula is additionally 96% natural, 92.4% COSMOS-certified, vegan, and microplastic-free.
FOR PACKAGING: DESIGN & MATERIALS CATEGORY WINS SHINKWANG M&P (South Korea)
Jurors appreciated that this container is crafted from an all-PP mono-material, that’s coated using a natural matte PP resin, to create a premium finish without using a different material coating or any secondary processes. This in turn cuts the packaging’s waste, reduces the cost by up to 50%, and reduces its environmental impact.
“This container sets a new eco-efficient benchmark by proving that premium aesthetics, full recyclability, and cost reduction are not mutually exclusive,” said one juror. The structure of the container itself is designed for residue-free dispensing, so all of the formulation inside can be used. The vessel is compatible with liquids, creams, and various viscosities, and is available in spray, pump, and airless formats. “Love that it’s compatible with a variety of formulas and has residue-free dispensing,” said one juror. Additionally, the container’s design flexibility allows for myriad shapes and sizes, so it can be customized according to different brand concepts while maintaining recyclability.
FOR SKIN CARE FORMULA CATEGORY WINS ICURE PHARM & COSMETICS INC (South Korea)
“Love the ingredient story and link to nighttime restoration and sleep,” said one juror of the NMN Sleeping Mask, adding that “the texture is beautiful and absorbs very well.” The formula supports the skin’s circadian rhythm and promotes holistic skin care benefits including stress relief and overnight renewal.
Its ingredients include NMN, or nicotinamide mononucleotide, prized for its anti-aging qualities by boosting NAD+ levels; phyto-serotonin from banana; phyto-melatonin from jujube; multi-vitamin beads; and ivy extract for improved firmness. “Adding NMN [offers] a cutting edge in this product, as it represents a…unique point of sale [by reflecting] the global trend regarding NAD+ and [its] anti-aging [benefits],” said another juror. The formula spotlights a semi-emulsified texture without using traditional emulsifiers. This combines the best of traditional solubilized formulas’ lightweight qualities with conventional emulsified creams’ intense moisture to offer a refreshing, hydrating application that’s quickly absorbed. The active ingredients provide hydration, improve wrinkles, offer anti-aging protection, and enhance skin firmness for a more youthful-looking complexion. “A sophisticated fusion of biotech and circadian care – elegant, credible, and indulgent, setting a new standard for sleep-based skin care,” was one juror’s verdict.
FOR SUSTAINABILITY CATEGORY WINS TAIR JIUH ENTERPRISE CO LTD (Taiwan Region)
Inspired by the endangered shoebill bird, this lifting primer stick is crafted as a bird-like gua sha design to provide skin care, massage, and make-up prep. One panel member called it “a standout holistic innovation blending sustainability, ergonomics, and [a] sensorial experience.” The balm-to-oil texture melts on the skin, to de-puff and hydrate while leaving a pearl finish.
The formula is infused with 95% natural origin COSMOS and Ecocert-certified ingredients including TJ Revive-Botani Ritual Shot Oils, a blend composed of Fair Trade argan oil, six super oils including baobab, moringa, and marula, and botanical extracts such as resurrection plant, devil’s claw, and licorice, that all firm, brighten, and strengthen the skin barrier. And its natural pigments, available in 150 shades, deliver a silky payoff. “The [product’s] ergonomic design and certified formula elevate eco-luxury standards,” noted one juror. “It feels sincere and responsible, balancing aesthetics, inclusivity, and verified sustainability.” The stick is created in a low-temperature 60°C molding process that preserves the actives and ensures 12-hour wear, while reducing carbon footprint by 25%. The container is made from mono-material bio-PP sourced from 30% vegetable oil waste and is fully recyclable and food-grade safe, with jurors noting the product’s “strong sustainability credentials.”
