COMPlux
Spotlighting a self-sanitizing technology, this powder compact uses UVC, or short-wave ultra-violet light, to sanitize the sponge within the compact. The compact’s action eliminates bacteria from the sponge, which is kept in a sanitization chamber that’s separate to the product. And when the compact is opened, the UVC exposure automatically shuts off, to guarantee the product’s safety. The make-up pan within the compact is refillable, to promote sustainability. Additionally, the product is made with recyclable materials and a low-energy UVC module. Between use, the compact can be charged using a USB cable.

What is you brand commitment to sustainability, ethical practices, and social responsibility? Please describe.
We believe that innovation should be as responsible as it is groundbreaking. Our UVC-powered, self-sanitizing beauty compact is designed with sustainability, ethical practices, and consumer well-being at its core.
Sustainable Packaging & Refill System
We prioritize waste reduction through a refillable pan system, extending the life cycle of the compact and reducing the need for single-use components. The outer case is made from durable, long-lasting materials, ensuring it remains a staple in a user’s beauty routine rather than ending up in a landfill.
Ethical & Safe Ingredients
While our compact focuses on sponge hygiene rather than formulations, we work with brands committed to clean beauty principles, ensuring compatibility with cruelty-free, non-toxic, and skin-safe formulas.
Reducing Environmental Impact
Traditional beauty sponges often require frequent replacement due to hygiene concerns. Our built-in UVC sanitization extends the lifespan of the product, cutting down on waste and the resources needed to produce new ones. Additionally, the fail-safe mechanism & auto re-set ensures responsible energy use, activating UVC light only when the compact is closed.
Social Responsibility & Fair Practices
We support ethical sourcing and fair labor practices in our supply chain, working with partners who adhere to fair trade and responsible design & manufacturing. Our commitment goes beyond product design - we advocate for conscious beauty consumption, encouraging consumers to invest in high-quality, long-lasting beauty tools rather than disposable alternatives.
Recyclability & Future Sustainability Goals
While the compact is built for durability, we are actively exploring recyclable material innovations and closed-loop production models for future iterations. We believe in continuous improvement - our goal is to push sustainable beauty forward with every new product we develop.
By merging advanced hygiene technology with eco-conscious design, we’re redefining beauty tools for a cleaner, greener future.
