Notice of Participation in COSME Week 2026 / 16th Cosmetics Development Exhibition

Natural anionic surfactant upcycled from coffee by-products.

To produce 1 kilogram of coffee, 20 kilograms of CO2 are required. However, only 1% of the coffee beans are used in the production process, while 99% is discarded. Cafe Bueno has achieved zero waste by utilizing this residue as a cosmetic ingredient. KLEANSTANT is a natural anionic surfactant upcycled from coffee by-products, containing potassium palmitate, linoleic acid, polyphenols, tocopherols, and diterpene esters. In addition to its cleansing properties, foaming ability, and antioxidant effects, it also has moisturizing benefits. KLEANSTANT exhibits high foaming performance when the original pH is lowered through neutralization treatment. It shows the best performance at a pH of 5 to 6, and citric acid also contributes to the removal of residues and improvement of emulsification. However, at a pH of 4, foaming ability may decrease.

A scrub made from upcycled coffee beans. It has a mild texture due to particle size being below 150μm. It can be used for coloring formulations.

It is said that 20 kilograms of CO2 are needed to produce 1 kilogram of coffee. However, only 1% of the coffee beans are used in production, while 99% is discarded. Cafe Bueno has achieved zero waste by using this residue as a cosmetic ingredient. KAFFIBRE is a natural scrub expected to be a substitute for microplastics. It features a particle size of less than 150μm, making it easy to incorporate into formulations.

Hyaluronic Acid Na for Whitening that Maximizes the Function of Alpha-Linolenic Acid

HyWhite is a sodium hyaluronate with whitening (brightening) properties manufactured by Contipro in the Czech Republic. HyWhite is a product that has high whitening (brightening) effects, made by partially replacing low molecular weight sodium hyaluronate with alpha-linolenic acid, which has high permeability to the skin. Alpha-linolenic acid is widely known for its strong melanin production suppression effects, and in in-vitro results, it has been confirmed to have a higher suppression effect than kojic acid. On the other hand, it is also known as a component that is difficult to formulate due to its low skin permeability and instability. This product promotes the absorption of alpha-linolenic acid, which has been a problem in the past, by replacing part of the low molecular weight hyaluronate with alpha-linolenic acid, thereby improving stability and maximizing the effects of alpha-linolenic acid. *In addition to HyWhite, Contipro also manufactures sodium hyaluronate, hydrolyzed sodium hyaluronate, and other hyaluronate derivatives.

It is a porous silica micro powder derived from bamboo. It has improved usability, sebum absorption effects, shine suppression, and deodorizing effects.

This is silica derived from bamboo originating in the forests of India. Properties: White powder Particle size: ≦15μm Silica content: ≦87% Mechanism of action: The porous particles of fine micro powder absorb excess sebum and sweat, reducing shine and drying sweat. Effectiveness: - Reduces skin oiliness and controls shine, improving makeup longevity. - Absorbs sweat and keeps the skin dry, thus reducing odor. In Vitro: Artificial sebum absorption capacity: Twice its own weight In Vivo: Antiperspirant effect: -26% (after 4 hours) Odor suppression: -40% (after 4 hours)

Ginger root extract containing gingerol, which has whitening effects, longevity effects, stress resistance, antioxidant properties, and calming effects.

This is an oil extract made from ginger roots sourced from Madagascar, extracted with triheptanoin. LUMILYS suppresses lipofuscin and melanin, the root causes of age-related spots, through both traditional and new mechanisms of action. Old mechanism: It suppresses the production of lipofuscin and melanin through antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. New mechanism: By inhibiting growth factor SCF and nerve factor RGMB, it directly acts on melanocytes to fundamentally control melanin production. *RGMB is a factor secreted from nerves when they interact with melanocytes (LUMILYS acts on the nerves). Active ingredients: • Gingerol: >32%/dry weight *A component that possesses whitening effects, longevity effects, stress resistance, antioxidant effects, and calming effects (6-gingerol: >20%, 8-gingerol: >4%, 10-gingerol: >4%) Efficacy: Antioxidant: EC50: 0.25% IL8: -46% Reactive oxygen species: -46.5% Growth factor SCF: -27% Nerve factor RGMB: -12% Lipofuscin accumulation: -26% Melanin production: -46% Currently conducting In Vivo studies.

Extreme environment microorganisms, long-lasting moisture, UV protection, Langerhans cell protection, anti-pollution, anti-aging, fermentation, hair care.

<Ectoin Natural Features> Ectoin is a type of cyclic amino acid produced by extremophilic microorganisms (Halomonas) that inhabit salt lakes and deserts. It has 4 moles of bound water per 1 mole of Ectoin, exhibiting cosmotropic properties. This characteristic contributes to the stabilization of interactions between water molecules, forming a hydrocomplex. This hydrocomplex helps stabilize biological structures (such as cells, proteins, enzymes, and nucleic acids) against environmental stresses like temperature changes, high salt concentrations, strong UV radiation, and dehydration. ― About Effectiveness ― Moisturizing Persistence (In-Vivo): Lasts for 1 week. Skin Barrier Function and Protection of Langerhans Cells (In-Vivo): 100% protection. Promotion of Heat Shock Protein Production (In-Vitro), Anti-Pollution Effect (Ex-Vivo), Protection against Blue Light, UV-A, UV-B, IR-A, and Heat, Anti-Aging Effects (In-Vivo): Improvement in Skin Roughness (86% improvement), Wrinkle Depth (32% improvement), Elasticity (82% improvement), Smoothness (61% improvement), Whitening Effect (In-Vivo): Improvement in Skin Pigmentation (25% improvement).
