Developed to unite high-efficacy protection with user safety, this sunscreen answers demand for holistic defense—UVA/UVB, blue light, and pollution—without heaviness or irritation. Ausmetics engineered double encapsulation: UV filters are microencapsulated in a silicone oil phase to minimize skin penetration, while water-phase capsules carry astaxanthin and rutin for antioxidant support and a natural tint. Lab and consumer testing refined a clear, weightless jelly texture with a non-greasy feel and subtle tone boost. It has been showcased at industry conferences (the formulation was presented at IFSCC 2025 Congress), earning praise for its scientific innovation.
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.

Ivy extract aids adipose regulation for improved firmness. Its semi-emulsified texture absorbs quickly, offering the light feel of a gel with the deep nourishment of an emulsion. Ideal for all skin types seeking advanced, science-driven nighttime care.
“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.
