Product Description (No Prototypes accepted)
Encapsulating organic UV filters inside natural mineral silica – an innovation known as a UV Capsule – this formula creates a sunscreen formula that doesn’t rely on oil, thus achieving clear, silicone-free, and ultra-lightweight SPF 50 broad-spectrum protection. The formula centers around a Skin Base Building Technology, which sees three synergistic systems work as one. These systems are composed of the UV Capsule, a patented porous silica encapsulation that houses sticky organic filters, eliminating tackiness while maximizing film uniformity; the TexFix Formula, a silicone-free 3D network that blurs pores and refines texture for a primer-like finish; and the OilZero Powder, which absorbs three times its weight in sebum to maintain a fresh, matte finish and a stable UV film. The result on the skin is silicone-free SPF protection combined with a perfected, velvety-matte finish.
Product Innovation
UnseenPlus sunscreen features proprietary Skin Base Building Technology—three synergistic systems working as one:
1. UV Capsule: Patented porous silica encapsulation (KR/PCT) that houses sticky organic filters, eliminating tackiness while maximizing film uniformity.
2. TexFix Formula: A silicone-free 3D network that blurs pores and refines texture for a primer-like finish.
3. OilZero Powder: A next-generation system absorbing 3 times its weight in sebum to maintain a fresh, velvety matte finish and stable UV film.
Together, this clean-tech trio delivers flawless, silicone-free SPF protection and skin-perfecting performance

Technology Features
1. UV Capsule Technology (Patented — KR 10-2023-0056427 / PCT/KR2023/006587): chemical UV filters embedded inside natural porous silica via dry process — filters no longer dissolved in oil, removing the root cause of greasiness and silicone dependency in transparent sunscreens.
2. TexFix Formula: 3D cross-linked polymer network that locks residual oils in place on skin, preventing pooling or drag; blurs pores and skin unevenness for a genuine primer-like finish — no silicones required.
3. OilZero Powder System: next-generation high-capacity porous powder absorbing up to 3 times its own weight in oil; sustains fresh matte-velvet finish over time and reinforces uniform UV protective film coverage on skin.
4. Oil System Redesign: full re-engineering of oil selection, diffusion, and fixation to recreate silicone-like slip and surface refinement without any silicone ingredients.
5. Skin Base-Building Technology: proprietary synergistic integration of UV Capsule + TexFix Formula + OilZero Powder — transparent UV protection, texture correction, and oil control in one silicone-free formula.
