The “Glow”
concept—originally
a key trend in K-beauty—has now evolved into a global trend. Moving beyond the
clear, translucent look of “glass skin,” it is redefining radiance with a new
standard: a healthy, vibrant glow.
However, for formulation scientists, achieving the right balance between
radiance and a lightweight feel remains a persistent challenge. As radiance
increases, formulations tend to become heavier and tackier—an inherent
limitation that is difficult to overcome.
In this newsletter, we introduce the SFGEL series—engineered to deliver
optimized performance for glow-focused formulations, while offering distinctive
functionalities beyond what conventional sensory modifiers can achieve.
