ZnO Only Formulation with the Ultimate Transparency:
Pure ZINA Suncare

By Jeong, Areum
Translated By Ko, Eunyoung
June 2024, NO.26

Hi, how are you?

In this issue, we introduce Pure ZINA Suncare, a sunscreen formulation that uses only ZnO as the UV filter, providing powerful UV protection with SPF 50 and PA++++ while offering superior transparency.

To achieve the powerful UV protection (SPF 50, PA++++), 34.5% of ZINA-75AB, a dispersion of the newly launched ZnO powder, ZINA series, was used for Pure ZINA Suncare.

The ZINA series is significantly more transparent compared to SUNZnO-NAS, our existing product, and other ZnO products in the market. This enhanced transparency is due to the ZINA series having a more uniform particle size compared to SUNZnO-NAS and other ZnO products in the market.

Additionally, despite containing a high concentration of 75% ZnO powder, the ZINA-75AB dispersion offers low viscosity due to a unique surface treatment method. This feature maximizes user convenience.

Pure ZINA Suncare is a formulation characterized by its transparency, using only ZINA-75AB as the UV filter, achieving powerful UV protection with SPF 50 and PA++++.

If you have any inquiries, feel free to contact us.

SunjinBeauty Science practices eco-friendly and sustainable management by renewing its RSPO certification!

By Park, Sojin
Translated By Lim, Julia
June 2024, NO.25

Hi, how are you?

Sunjin Beauty Science first obtained RSPO certification in March 2020 and conducted its fourth follow-up audit this March, which was completed without any non-conformities.

RSPO stands for the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil, an organization jointly established by companies and environmental groups to prevent environmental destruction caused by indiscriminate palm oil production.

RSPO certification is an eco-friendly international certification issued by strictly verifying compliance with standards for environmental protection, management transparency, sustainability, and community obligations across all stages of the palm oil industry, from production to distribution and processing.

At Sunjin, we handle only 100% RSPO-certified palm-derived raw materials. Currently, we manage over 70 MB*-grade products to the SG* grade level and sell them as RSPO-certified products.

* RSPO-certified Supply Chain Models:
– IP (Identity Preserved): Uses certified oil from a single plantation.
– SG (Segregated): Uses certified oil from two or more plantations.
– MB (Mass Balance): Allows the use of both certified and non-certified oil from two or more plantations.

Meanwhile, the European Union has enforced the EUDR* (European Union Deforestation Regulation), which imposes stricter requirements for forest protection and sustainable agricultural practices.

*EUDR: A regulation aimed at controlling the export of products related to seven regulated items (cocoa, coffee, soy, palm oil, timber, rubber, and cattle) within the European market.

As the global demand for sustainable management intensifies, Sunjin Beauty Science promises to continue upholding RSPO certification and complying with related regulations to practice sustainable and eco-friendly management.

Renewable Silica from Mother Nature, Streaming Now on Youtube!

By Lee, James
June 2024, NO.24

Hi, how are you?

 In this issue, we will introduce you to silica, a material that is gaining attention as an environmentally friendly and sustainable resource that exists abundantly on Earth as an inorganic mineral.

 Silica is the most abundant element in the Earth’s crust, serving as a primary component in all rocks and the main constituent of sand. With such vast quantities of silica deposited across the globe, it is essentially an inexhaustible resource. This abundance makes silica a natural resource that can be utilized sustainably without the risk of depletion.

 Silica sand existing in its natural state at the Cape Flattery Mine in Australia is extracted and moved to SUNJIN Beauty Science’s manufacturing facilities. Then, it goes through refining and processing to be reborn as SUNSIL series, which is a premium silica line. SUNJIN Beauty Science’s SUNSIL series is recognized for its excellent quality and is being supplied to various clients around the world, including the United States, Europe, and Asia.

 Silica is gaining attention as an alternative to the micro-plastic problem that threatens the Earth’s environment. While micro-plastics are light and flow into the oceans, accumulating in ecosystems, silica is relatively heavy, easily sinks, and has a lower risk of biological absorption or ecosystem disruption.

 Silica that has sunk into the sea forms sedimentary rock over a long period of time as it is deposited. Later, it changes into metamorphic rock under heat and pressure, and becomes igneous rock through magma melting processes. As this igneous rock erupts to the Earth’s surface again,silica is newly created in a cycle. These process of rock formation and circulation is called the Rock Cycle.

 SUNJIN Beauty Science is accelerating the development of eco-friendly silica products to realize the social value of environmental protection. We hope that you will become an eco-friendly consumer who opens up a sustainable tomorrow with SUNJIN Beauty Science’s silica products.

 If you are interested in learning more about the cycle of silica, we kindly request you to watch the video on YouTube below.

 Also, if you have any inquiries about silica products or need more information, please feel free to contact us using the contact information below.

Hi, how are you?

In this issue, we will introduce the formulation for Sun Shield Powder, a loose powder featuring powerful UV protection with SPF50 and PA++++, as well as a smooth and soft feeling.

To achieve the powerful UV protection of Sun Shield Powder (SPF50 PA4+), three UV blocking raw materials from SUNJIN are used: SUNZnO-OLEO200(rod-shape Zinc Oxide), T80-TINA(Non-nano Titanium Dioxide), and SUNSIL-S.

SUNSIL-S is an encapsulated material where the organic UV filter BEMT (Bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine) is encapsulated in silica.
By using SUNSIL-S instead of BEMT, the powder achieves a superior feel.

Additionally, the SUNSIL-LUX series with excellent flowability, is used in the loose powder. The SUNSIL-LUX series features silica with a pearly and smooth surface, providing a silky application and excellent transparency.

Sun Shield Powder is a loose powder formulation featuring smooth application and powerful UV protection by incorporating the silica encapsulated product SUNSIL-S and the SUNSIL-LUX150H, known for its silky feel and superior transparency.

SUNJIN BEAUTY SCIENCE Enhances Quality Competitiveness with Introduction of State-of-the-Art Q-SEM Equipment!

By Ko, Eunyoung
Translated By Lee, James
May 2024, NO.22

Hi, how are you?

 To enhance quality competitiveness and promptly respond to the latest regulations, SUNJIN BEAUTY SCIENCE has introduced a state-of-the-art equipment.

 SEM stands for Scanning Electron Microscopy, which is an electron microscope that scans the surface of a sample with an electron beam, allowing direct observation of its three-dimensional structure. NMPA of China requires SEM data on particle size as mandatory information when registering substances on the ‘Cosmetic Ingredient Safety Information Notification Platform’. As a result, the importance of SEM data is increasing globally, including Europe.

 Additionally, the newly introduced equipment is a SEM machine with even more advanced capabilities than those used at professional research institutions. It is capable of performing Q-SEM(Quantitative Scanning Electron Microscopy) analysis. Q-SEM is a technique that, in addition to the imaging function of SEM, allows for quantitative analysis of particle size. Through the equipment, the microscopic structure and particle size distribution of powders can be measured accurately.

 The French authorities have adopted Q-SEM as the analytical method to identify nano materials, and the revised COSMOS V4 also requires the submission of Q-SEM data as a mandatory requirement for material registration, highlighting the growing importance of this technique.

 Starting from June 1st, SUNJIN plans to sequentially conduct SEM analysis on all of our products. Having the capability for prompt analysis of our own products will allow us to develop more competitive products and provide you with enhanced quality products.

If you have any inquiries, please feel free to contact us.

Halal products are products produced from halal materials in facilities that are not cross-contaminated or associated with Haram materials.

Halal: Sanctioned under Islamic Shaira law
Haram: Forbidden or proscribed by Islamic law

Indonesian Halal certification is one of the world’s top three Halal certifications. According to the Halal Product Assurance Law No. 33 of 2014 and the Implementing Regulation No. 31 of 2019, certification becomes mandatory from October 17, 2024.

The Halal certification obligation law applies to all products handled, distributed, and sold within Indonesia, excluding products that cannot obtain Halal certification.

Starting in October 2024, it will initially apply to food and beverage products, and in 2026, it will extend to cosmetics and consumer goods, and by 2029, it will also include pharmaceuticals.

Additionally, it applies to all functional products that are worn, used, and utilized.

 A total of 185 products have been assessed and received an A grade for their technical, scientific, and religious aspects. Consequently, we obtained the certification from the Indonesian government’s Halal Certification Authority (BPJPH) and the Halal Confirmation Certificate from the MUI Fatwa Committee.

 Therefore, by using Sunjin’s ingredients certified by the Indonesian Halal certification, the process of assessing the halal suitability of each ingredient for certification can be more smoothly conducted.

  According to Sunjin’s internal halal policy, we are committed to providing halal-certified ingredients for all products, except those that cannot obtain halal certification, thereby ensuring customer satisfaction and value.

SUNSIL-S, The Next-Generation UV Blocking Material Unveiled with Innovative Silica Capsule Technology

By Jeong, Areum
Translated By Lee, James
April 2024, NO.19

Hi, how are you?

 In this issue, we will introduce SUNSIL-S, a silica capsule product that allows the customers to create light feeling formulations with high UV protection by using chemical UV filters(BEMT) in water phase, typically used in oil phase.

 SUNSIL-S is a raw material in which the chemical UV filter BEMT(Bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine) is encapsulated in silica. By using it in the water phase, light-feeling suncare formulations can be developed. As the successor to the Hybrid series(PMMA capsules) which has been sold more than 40MT annually since its patent application in 2007, SUNSIL-S is a product incorporated with silica instead of PMMA, making it a microplastic-free product.

 Most chemical UV filters need to be used in oil phase, but SUNSIL-S can be used in water phase. This allows UV filters to be incorporated into both the oil and water phases of a formulation, thereby maximizing the UV protection efficacy.

 Furthermore, since SUNSIL-S provides a light and smooth skin feel, it is ideal for use in O/W sun gel formulations that need to limit the oil phase. This make it possible to create a light feeling SPF50 & PA++++ sun gel formulations without the need to use ethanol.

 SUNSIL-S is a silica capsule product containing 30% of BEMT, allowing for a lighter skin feeling and higher UV protection performance.

If you have any inquiries related to SUNSIL-S, please feel free to contact us.
