FOR FRAGRANCE: PERSONAL & HOME CATEGORY WINS DOSSIER (USA)
This fragrance collaboration with artist and actor mgk was singled out for its nostalgic scent, captivating storytelling, and sustainable yet elevated packaging.
Jurors appreciated the storytelling, concept, and fragrance expression of lost americana, Dossier’s fragrance collaboration with artist and actor mgk, also known as Machine Gun Kelly.
The genderless fragrance has been conceived as a rich, earthy, and spicy scent, inspired by mgk’s affinity for American nostalgia intertwined with a 90’s mood. The panel agreed that the scent had a “nostalgic” air and noted that it would act as “a great layering base.”
The composition spans top notes of incense, almond, and pink pepper, before unfolding into a heart of nutmeg, myrrh, and cinnamon, with base notes of vetiver, patchouli, suede, vanilla, and a hint of chocolate. “Love the storytelling and relevance to cultural trends,” said one juror, calling the product a “great use of celebrity collaboration.” The panel also liked that the packaging is sustainable, with the fragrance box 100% recyclable and made from previously recycled material, alongside a 100% recyclable glass bottle.
FOR SKIN & BODY CARE PRODUCTS CATEGORY WINS TIMESAVVY® (ProBetter USA., Inc.) (USA)
The cushion sun care formula, offering lightweight SPF 50 protection, won praise for its ease of application, cooling effect, and sensorial texture.
Capturing sun care in a cushion formula, jurors liked how this product concept promotes a “sun care-first view as opposed to [a] cushion foundation with SPF.” Offering SPF 50 UV protection in a lightweight serum texture, the format means sunscreen can be re-applied easily throughout the day, encouraging more consistent use. Ingredients include a hybrid sunscreen formula combining mineral and UV filters that offers wearability with a reduced white cast.
This is combined with skin care ingredients niacinamide, Centella asiatica extract, aloe vera leaf extract, hydrolyzed collagen, and adenosine. One juror pronounced that they were “obsessed” with the product for its lack of white cast and cooling effect. The panel also liked the oversized compact design and the “unique” application, thanks to the cooling puff technology that delivers a refreshing feel during use. “[The] easy reapplication throughout the day [makes it] easy to add to the routine,” pointed out one juror.
FOR HAIR PRODUCTS CATEGORY WINS K-HEADSPA (USA)
The scalp serum, combined with integrated red light therapy, stood out thanks to its multitasking concept, offering a skin care-like “unique delivery experience” for the scalp.
Billed as introducing a new category of scalp skin care, the Scalp Cooling Serum, presented in an integrated brush-applicator device that delivers red light and vibration therapy, won praise for its multifunctional concept. One juror called it “smart [and] well-executed…combining red light therapy with [an] innovative formula and a unique package delivery system.” The serum’s ingredients include a Cooling Active Complex™ that combines niacinamide for scalp conditioning and hydration;
caffeine for a refreshing sensation; panthenol for moisture and soothing; zinc PCA; ectoin and beta-glucan for scalp conditioning; alongside a peptide complex for scalp wellness. In addition, menthol and peppermint extracts deliver a cooling sensation. The product is applied using the washable applicator with a hygienic on/off function to dispense the serum precisely. And the packaging’s integrated red LED and vibration functions can be used to enhance the self-care ritual. Jurors said the product should “grab consumer attention right out of the gate,” and noted that it offered a “unique delivery experience.”
FOR MAKE UP & NAIL PRODUCTS CATEGORY WINS MIXSOON (Parket Inc.) (South Korea)
PDRN, collagen, and peptides are all infused into this tinted moisturizer, which impressed the jury with its feel-good formula, exemplifying the colorification of skin care.
Described by the jurors as a “great evolution of PDRN tech,” this tinted moisturizer’s 74% skin care base includes rice PDRN, collagen, and peptides, which together plump the complexion and offer brightening and anti-wrinkle benefits, in tandem with providing a weightless veil of color. The panel singled out the product’s texture and “very good ingredients,” and the fact that it encapsulates the “colorification of skin care.”
The product comes in ten adaptive shades, which harmonize to each person’s undertones to create a healthy-looking glow. Added to this, the formula’s easy-wearing technology allows for a seamless application using the fingertips, so the product melts into the face’s contours for a natural finish with no harsh lines. Clinical trials proved the formula’s 24-hour longevity, maintaining a vibrant tone without oxidation, alongside an instant blurring effect which refines the appearance of pores and texture by 32%.
