Better Way (Thailand) Co., Ltd., for its Mistine No. 1 Fusion High Definition Powder Foundation SPF 25: This product concept fuses high definition (HD) color makeup with skin care for long-term health and beauty. The color aspect includes an HD Radiant System based on mica for a natural, transparent look. In addition, a light modifier powder—i.e., hexagonal boron nitride—and blue pearl pigment are used to impart radiance. Further, an Advanced Powder Crushing technology is used to render particles so they are smoothly distributed. For skin health, a high sheer adsorption technique is used to modify the Hydrofill Complex to introduce it into anhydrous products such as powder. This complex includes extracts, UV filters, antioxidants and anti-inflammatories, among other ingredients, to provide skin benefits.
