July 2025, NO.26

Hi, how are you?

 In this issue, we are pleased to introduce our TX-85 Series, a high-purity, nano-sized TiO₂ product that offers outstanding UV protection performance while ensuring optimal bulk density.

 TX-85 Series is a nano-sized TiO₂ product that fully complies with the latest opinions of the European SCCS.
Available in three distinct coating types, it allows you to choose the most suitable option to meet your diverse formulation requirements:
•TX-85: Dimethicone-coated
•TX-85AS: Alkyl Silane-coated
•TX-85SA: Stearic Acid-coated – ideal for natural formulations

 TX-85 Series boasts a higher TiO₂ content compared to conventional TiO₂ products, delivering superior UV protection performance. Furthermore, its optimized bulk density minimizes volume, offering a significant advantage in formulation efficiency.

 

 Furthermore, TX-85 Series demonstrates excellent dispersibility. When dispersed in five different types of oils, the TX-85 Series exhibited lower viscosity compared to competing products, confirming its superior dispersion performance.

We invite you to visit Sunjin booth at the upcoming In-Cosmetics Korea to explore TX-85 Series and innovative new formulations utilizing this advanced ingredient.

Visitors will also enjoy a special treat from LeeSeongDang Bakery!

•Date: July 2–4, 2025 (3 days)

Create Light, Non-Sticky Sun Care Formulas with HYDROSOLA
– a Water-Dispersible UV Shielding Solution

By Kim, Dongbok
Translated by Lee, Yeajoo
June 2025, NO.24

Hi, how are you?

 K-beauty-inspired sunscreens with ultra-light, watery textures are gaining global popularity for their refreshing and non-sticky application. In response to this trend, Sunjin Beauty Science proudly introduces HYDROSOLA-AOB, an innovative UV protection solution designed for stable use in low-viscosity O/W formulations.

  HYDROSOLA-AOB stably encapsulates organic UV filters in a multi-layered structure, which helps reduce skin irritation while enabling their dispersion in the water phase of O/W formulations.

 As UV filter encapsulation technologies continue to diversify, formulation options are expanding.

HYDROSOLA-AOB can be easily incorporated into formulations and offers a light, non-sticky, and low-shine finish. With its small particle size, it provides excellent dispersion and UV protection, making it an ideal ingredient for liquid sun care formats such as sprays and toners.

 In addition, HYDROSOLA-AOB allows for customizable SPF and PA levels based on concentration, enabling tailored sun protection performance. Even at low concentrations, it delivers sufficient UV protection, making it highly suitable for formulations where improving texture and sensorial properties is essential.

 

 Moreover, the multi-layer encapsulated organic UV filters in HYDROSOLA-AOB are stably delivered onto the skin, offering a lighter, less oily, and fresher finish compared to conventional organic UV filter-based sunscreens.

 

 HYDROSOLA-AOB maintains its UV protection performance over time and remains stable even under temperature fluctuations. Despite containing a high concentration of organic UV filters, it offers excellent formulation stability and long-term storage compatibility, making it an ideal high-performance ingredient for developing low-viscosity O/W sun care products with ease.

Sunjin Beauty Science’s Quality Strategy to Meet Strengthened Random FDA Inspections

SUNJIN NEWSLETTER

Sunjin Beauty Science’s Quality Strategy to Meet
Strengthened Random FDA Inspections

By Lee, James
June 2025, NO.23

Hi, how are you?

 In 2019, Sunjin Beauty Science became the first Korean cosmetic ingredient manufacturer to undergo an on-site inspection by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), successfully passing with a No Action Indicated (NAI) rating.

 This result signifies that our manufacturing operations and quality management systems are in full compliance with FDA regulations, requiring no corrective actions. It is a strong testament to the international quality and safety standards that Sunjin Beauty Science upholds in all our products.

 On May 6, 2025, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced a policy to strengthen unannounced inspections of overseas manufacturing facilities.

 This initiative aims to apply the same level of regulatory oversight to foreign manufacturing sites as those within the United States, reinforcing the safety and quality of food, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and cosmetics supplied to American consumers.

 Previously, inspections of overseas manufacturing sites were typically conducted with prior notice. However, this approach has drawn criticism for potentially failing to reflect the facility’s actual operating conditions. To address these concerns, the FDA has announced plans to actively implement unannounced inspections moving forward.

As part of this initiative:

– Inspectors will no longer accept any assistance from the facility regarding lodging or transportation.

– The FDA has clarified its authority to take strong regulatory actions in cases where inspections are delayed, refused, or limited by the manufacturer.

 The FDA conducts approximately 12,000 domestic and 3,000 international inspections annually. Despite prior notifications, overseas facilities have been found to have more than double the rate of significant deficiencies compared to domestic sites. This highlights the need for enhanced transparency and effectiveness in the inspection process, driving recent policy changes.

 

 In response to the FDA’s recent policy changes, Sunjin Beauty Science is proactively strengthening its quality management by:

– Enhancing internal quality training programs

– Advancing record-keeping and documentation systems

– Conducting regular audits of GMP-compliant manufacturing environments and quality systems

 Through these measures, we are committed to maintaining rigorous compliance and ensuring the highest standards of product safety and quality.

 Moving forward, Sunjin Beauty Science will continue to uphold and enhance our quality systems that lead international standards, ensuring all our customers receive consistently reliable and trustworthy products.

 Should you have any inquiries, please feel free to contact us at the information below.

RSPO Renewal Complete! Sunjin’s Sustainability Journey Moves Ahead

RSPO Renewal Complete!
Sunjin’s Sustainability Journey Moves Ahead

By Park, Sojin
Translated By Lee, Yeajoo
May 2025, NO.22

Hi, how are you?

 At Sunjin Beauty Science, we are committed to practicing sustainable management, and RSPO certification is a core part of our internal sustainability policy.

In January 2025, we successfully completed the five-year renewal audit required by the RSPO with zero non-conformities.

RSPO stands for Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil, a global initiative established to prevent environmental destruction caused by unsustainable palm oil production and to promote sustainable production and distribution.


* What is palm oil?
Palm oil is a plant-based oil extracted from oil palm fruit. It is widely used in a variety of products — from processed foods like bread, cookies, cereal, instant noodles, chocolate, and margarine, to everyday consumer goods such as soap, detergent, lipstick, and shaving cream.

 RSPO certification applies to the entire supply chain, from palm oil production to manufacturing, processing, distribution, and final consumption. All stakeholders within this supply chain must obtain and maintain certification to sell RSPO-certified products and ensure sustainability values are upheld.

Through this interconnected structure, the entire supply chain contributes to responsible environmental stewardship and social standards, ultimately delivering sustainable products to consumers.

On February 3, 2025, the RSPO launched PRISMA, a digital certification and data management platform aimed at enhancing transparency and operational efficiency.

Due to the transition to this new platform, temporary technical issues led to a delay of more than one month in the issuance of renewed certificates, prompting a number of customer inquiries. The issue has now been resolved and the updated certificate has been officially issued.

 

Sunjin strictly uses only palm-derived raw materials with RSPO certification and currently offers over 80 products certified under the MB* model.

*RSPO Supply Chain Models:

IP (Identity Preserved): Certified oil from a single identifiable plantation

SG (Segregated): Certified oil from multiple plantations, kept separate from non-certified oil

MB (Mass Balance): Certified and non-certified oils may be mixed within controlled systems

You can check Sunjin’s RSPO certification status on the official RSPO website.

Sustainability and Supply chain transparency are core values that Sunjin pursues.

We will continue to lead in eco-conscious management practices based on RSPO certification and fulfill our promise for a better planet and society.

A New Choice of Thickener for Smooth & Lightweight Formulations: HECTOGEL-EUG

SUNJIN NEWSLETTER

A New Choice of Thickener for Smooth & Lightweight Formulations: HECTOGEL-EUG

By Ko, Eunyoung
May 2025, NO.20

Hi, how are you?

 Today’s consumers are shifting toward lightweight, natural-looking makeup rather than heavy, full-coverage formulas. In addition to performance, emotional experience and clean beauty standards are becoming key considerations in product selection.

 To align with these evolving preferences, Sunjin Beauty Science proudly introduces HECTOGEL-EUG, a natural oil-based thickener that offers a soft, light application experience.

The HECTOGEL series is an oil-based thickener line developed by Sunjin Beauty Science through in-depth research and innovation. These thickeners are formulated by blending HECTORITE powder, an activator, and oil using high shear mixing technology. This method enables the OH groups on the edges of the hectorite particles to interact through hydrogen bonding, resulting in a distinctive and stable thickening structure.

Notably, the hectorite must be thoroughly dispersed using high shear equipment to properly form the “House of Cards” structure, making it essential to use this system to achieve optimal performance.

HECTOGEL-EUG is formulated with Octyldodecanol, a natural emollient, offering excellent thickening performance and formulation stability. It is an ideal solution for clean beauty formulations seeking a thin, smooth sensory profile.

The product can be applied to a wide range of formulations, including makeup, skincare, and sun care.

The HECTOGEL series includes a variety of oil bases, ranging from silicones to natural emollients. Among them, the HECTOGEL MILD series is a low-irritation grade that replaces Propylene Carbonate with 2,3-Butanediol, minimizing concerns about skin irritation.

With the addition of the new Octyldodecanol-based HECTOGEL-EUG, the HECTOGEL series now offers an even broader selection of options for our valued customers.

Experience cleaner formulations, superior thickening performance, and excellent stability with HECTOGEL-EUG — try it now!

Clear, Comfortable, and Silicone-Free (SPF50 PA++++)

Translated by Lee, Yeajoo
May 2025, NO.19

Hi, how are you?

 At Sephora U.S., the top-selling sun care product is loved for its smooth, transparent texture that leaves no white cast and doubles as a makeup primer. Inspired by this trend, we’re excited to introduce a next-generation sun primer that takes things one step further—transparent, refreshing, and completely silicone-free.

 Our key ingredient, SFGEL (Silicone-Free Elastic Gel), is a natural elastomer aligned with clean beauty concepts. It enhances the even spread of organic UV filters, contributing significantly to SPF and PA stability.

 SFGEL not only improves coverage of skin imperfections and boosts makeup longevity—the essential functions of a primer—but also delivers a glossy glow effect with a soft, luxurious velvet finish.

 In this sun primer formulation, SFGEL-M helps create a smooth skin surface while providing a matte touch.

 We also incorporated SUNSIL-20 for oil control and a fresh, powdery finish, and SUNSIL-S, which encapsulates BEMT (an organic UV filter) in silica to reduce irritation and improve photostability—enhancing overall sun protection performance.

For any inquiries regarding these products, please feel free to contact us.

Pore Blur Blemish Cream formulation contains the premium silica, SUNSIL-LUX150H, which exhibits amphiphilic properties.

This premium silica, SUNSIL-LUX150H, features an ultra-smooth surface that enhances the sensorial feel of the formulation. Additionally, compared to conventional silica, it offers superior transparency, allowing for the creation of a cleaner and clearer formulation.

Pore Blur Blemish Cream is packed with 72% water, flooding the skin with moisture the moment it touches your face. Its fresh, lightweight texture instantly quenches dryness, leaving the skin silky-smooth and visibly refined. To top it off, the formula features high oil-absorption silica, which helps soak up excess sebum for a shine-free finish, while minimizing stickiness for a more comfortable, breathable feel.
