• Silver Award – Functional category, In-Cosmetics Korea 2025 (July, Seoul)

A New Generation of Natural Performance
OleoShine® Green delivers a rich, enveloping texture that enhances the sensory experience of cosmetic products. Its high viscosity contributes to excellent thickening properties, while its high refractive index imparts a luminous, glossy finish. The ingredient also offers strong hydrophobicity, ensuring water resistance and long-lasting wear, all while maintaining a non-sticky, comfortable feel on the skin or lips.
Completely colorless, odorless, and tasteless, OleoShine® Green integrates seamlessly into a wide range of formulations. Developed through a green chemistry process using renewable resources, it embodies the principles of sustainable innovation.
Recognized Across Continents
At In-Cosmetics Global in Amsterdam, OleoShine® Green received the Gold Award in the Make-Up Bar category for its ability to deliver radiant, high-performance textures in color cosmetics.
At In-Cosmetics Korea, it earned the Silver Award in the Functional category, highlighting its versatility and sensorial excellence.
In China, the Ringier Technology Innovation Award recognized it as the Best Functional Ingredient – Thickeners, celebrating its role in redefining natural thickening agents.
The Glow Revolution Texture Collection
These awards also celebrate the Glow Revolution Texture Collection, a curated set of innovative formulations featuring OleoShine® Green. The collection includes lip oils, blushes, highlighters, and BB creams—each showcasing the ingredient’s ability to combine visual impact, comfort, and natural origin.
