This exponential growth attracted the attention of cosmetic companies all over Asia, who were quick to introduce their own version of this product. It became an extremely popular staple in the consumer\u2019s cosmetic toolkit. This K-Beauty trend has spilled over into the European and North American markets in the intervening years, as several high-end domestic brands have introduced their own versions into the marketplace.<\/p>\n<h3>What is a color cushion compact?<\/h3>\n<p>In short, the color cushion compact is a low viscosity liquid &#8220;CC+ cream&#8221; with a unique delivery system &#8211; it is soaked into a compact sponge, and applied using a specially-designed puff that creates a cooling sensation when applied to the face.<\/p>\n<p>Consumers love it because it combines the traditional benefits of a CC+ cream &#8211; color correction, good coverage, high moisturization, and strong SPF protection &#8211; with a practical, sensorially-pleasant application process. This delivery system is particularly appealing to busy consumers on the go. For established brands, it provides another avenue into the indie brand niches that focus on packaging innovations designed for delivering multi-functional formulas that are easily and quickly re-applied.<\/p>\n<h3>Formulating challenges<\/h3>\n<p>It turns out that formulating a product like this is quite tricky. The absolute key is finding how to lower the viscosity enough so that it will soak homogenously into the sponge. This has been a difficult challenge to overcome due to the high amounts of color pigment and UV filters contained in the formulation, and had stumped South Korean formulators for a number of years. They finally had a breakthrough in the original color cushion compact formula when they elected to use a powerful new dispersant aid in the <strong>Applecare Pigment Dispersion System <\/strong>(PDS).<\/p>\n<p>It allowed the formulators to lower the viscosity enough to soak properly into the sponge, and moreover, it created a robust in-situ coating that kept the pigments from agglomerating within the product itself. The following water-in-silicone formulation is a typical, stable representation of how a formulator would create this type of formula.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8346 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/ulprospector.ul.com\/media\/2018\/06\/applechem-Color-Cushion-Formula-Graphic.jpg\" alt=\"Applechem Color Compact Air Cushion formulation - learn about the Applecare Pigment Dispersion System in the Prospector Knowledge Center. \" width=\"486\" height=\"545\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ulprospector.ul.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/applechem-Color-Cushion-Formula-Graphic.jpg 486w, https:\/\/ulprospector.ul.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/applechem-Color-Cushion-Formula-Graphic-268x300.jpg 268w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 486px) 100vw, 486px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Tap into the burgeoning natural color cosmetic market<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s now possible to create a completely natural, clean color cushion compact. As it was with the water-in-silicone version, the biggest challenge has always been tamping down the high viscosity issues arising from larger color pigment loads. Pre-treated pigments using natural coatings have only been partially effective, and the associated higher cost of pre-treated pigments created a larger entry barrier for innovation from natural color cosmetic brands.<\/p>\n<p>New COSMOS-approved dispersant aids like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ulprospector.com\/en\/na\/PersonalCare\/Detail\/4652\/721439\/Applecare-PDS-300?st=31\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Applecare PDS-300<\/strong><\/a> are very effective at addressing both the high viscosity issues as well as greatly reducing any dependence on naturally-coated pigments, so the rest of the formulation is easier to tackle. As for SPF claims, uniform dispersing of attenuation-grade zinc oxide and titanium dioxide will also benefit from the same dispersing system.<\/p>\n<p>The focus then should be on incorporating low viscosity emollients, which has become easier with natural silicone replacements like coconut alkanes and hemisqualene. Additionally, it\u2019s important to use natural water-in-oil emulsifiers that perform well, and thankfully more of these options are now becoming available as part of a formulator&#8217;s toolkit.<\/p>\n<p>Recent innovations in dispersing technology have created new possibilities for color cosmetic formulators in both natural and non-natural spaces, and even premium K-Beauty products like the color cushion compact can evolve to become more ubiquitous for the discerning American consumer.<\/p>\n<h4>Paid content provided by Applechem, Inc.<\/h4>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Sponsored products<\/h3>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ulprospector.com\/en\/na\/PersonalCare\/Detail\/4652\/721439\/Applecare-PDS-300?st=31\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Applecare PDS-300<\/strong><\/a> is a COSMOS-approved dispersing agent for hydrophilic color pigments, allowing formulators to greatly enhance the dispersibility of their pigments in all-natural color cosmetic formulations.
