This active ingredient – Totipotent Prostembryona Factor® – is derived from the embryonic stem cells from the fertilized roes of deep-sea fish, via multiple low-temperature patented extraction processes. Within the ingredients are natural complex peptides – including exosomes, growth factors, and cytokines – and it has obtained its own INCI name and patents in the U.S., Japan, and the Taiwan region. There are several versions of the ingredient for different applications: TPF -TPF-H01, which can be used as a functional dressing to promote the healing of burns, scalds, and skin wounds; TPF-EX05, a raw material for functional cosmetics and hair health, to moisturize, brighten, delay skin aging, and promote hair growth and hair density; and TPF-101, a functional food ingredient, which can increase the concentration of IGF-1, or insulin-like growth factor in the blood, and reduce the concentration of ACE, or angiotensin-converting enzyme in the blood, said to delay aging. The ingredient is recognized by the Food and Drug Administration of the Ministry of Health and Welfare in the Taiwan region as an edible food ingredient.

This liquid powder transforms to leave a mattifying veil on the skin for a natural, radiant look. The pigments within the formulation are coated with polysaccharide, so the product blends into the skin with a uniform application and low coverage. The formula is infused with an encapsulated magnolia and willow botanical complex, which acts as a protective and anti-inflammatory shield. This prevents skin dryness and counteracts premature aging. The formula can be used as a base on its own, or over existing foundation to retouch make-up with a matte finish. Vegan friendly, the liquid powder is formulated with 96% natural ingredients.

Jurors were impressed with this transformative liquid powder, which morphs from a liquid to leave a mattifying veil on the skin for a natural, radiant look. One panel member noted that the formula is “so [high] performing [it] could create a new make-up category.”

Composed of a 100% PET resin material, the Eco-Slide Cream Jar reduces plastic use by 40% to 50% compared to the brand’s existing products. The word “slide” in the product name refers to how the inner pot containing the cream slides into a larger box structure, making the refilling process easy and intuitive for the end consumer. The packaging can be customized according to individual brands’ needs, with elements such as an optional applicator that sits within the lid, and various set configurations. The outer container, meanwhile, can be customized with materials such as wood.

Jurors noted that this jar - composed of 100% PET resin material, which reduces plastic use by 40% to 50% compared to the brand’s existing products - represents a “push toward refill solutions that have [a] lower environmental impact.” The word “slide” in the product name refers to how the inner pot containing the cream slides into a larger box structure, making the refilling process easy and intuitive for the end consumer. 

This serum creates a pearlescent glow without using traditional pearl or synthetic ingredients such as titanium dioxide (TiO2) or mica. The formula is instead created with plant-derived, EWG Green-certified fatty acids to create a natural, radiant effect. The serum employs a third-generation pearlescent technology, which sees the plant-derived fatty acids melted at high temperatures and recrystallized during cooling. As the fatty acids cool and form random crystal structures, they reflect light, resulting in a formula that imparts a natural, radiant finish to skin. Added to this, a solubilization technology means the formula is fully absorbed into the skin for a smooth, radiant finish. Alongside being better for the environment, the formula is cost-effective, compared to formulating with titanium dioxide and mica.

One juror liked how this “makes [the product] a sustainable, versatile solution that can enhance radiance claims across various skin care products.” Another described the plant-based pearlescent innovation as “excellent.” 
 

Composed of two “spheres” of solid make-up – which could be customized to be lipstick, eye, or cheek color – to provide an ergonomic application, this formula includes pigments created from the juices of five superfoods: beetroot, radish, purple yam, spirulina, and turmeric. From these ingredients, the brand has created 150 shades, which all match the vibrance of synthetic colors. The combination of superfood juices, plant waxes and oils, and natural antioxidants provides anti-aging and antibacterial benefits in the stick. The formula is odorless and free of irritants.

It is also lightweight, lasting, and transfer-proof, with the color remaining stable after a 12-hour sun and 45-degree heat test. The formula is composed of 100% COSMOS-certified ingredients; is free of synthetic preservatives, parabens, and petroleum-based ingredients; and is made with RSPO-certified sustainable palm oil. The stick is presented in eco-friendly, mono-material, recyclable PET packaging.
