Korea Kolmar Develops All-in-One Sunscreen

[Asia Economy Reporter Yujin Cho] Korea Kolmar, a global cosmetics original design manufacturer (ODM), announced on the 18th that it has developed a multifunctional sunscreen that not only protects against ultraviolet rays and fine dust but also improves the skin barrier and provides moisturizing effects.

Korea Kolmar utilized cerium oxide to add fine dust blocking functionality to the sunscreen. Cerium oxide has the characteristic of generating static electricity, and a technology was applied to synthesize components with a negative charge on the surface of the ingredient. This enables fundamental blocking of fine dust through repulsive forces that push away negatively charged fine dust particles.

Additionally, it simultaneously addresses skin barrier improvement and moisturizing effects. By modifying the cerium oxide ingredient, it removes keratin in the skin’s stratum corneum, helps recover damaged skin, and prevents aging. It also promotes the synthesis of ceramide, which functions to prevent moisture loss, thereby maintaining hydrated skin condition.

Korea Kolmar plans to apply this newly developed ingredient not only to sunscreens but also to various basic and color cosmetics, leading to multi-care products that perform multiple functions in a single product.

A Korea Kolmar official stated, “We have developed a core technology capable of responding to harmful substances that cause various skin troubles such as fine dust,” and added, “We will continue investing in research and development (R&D) to lead the growing multi-care product market every year.”
