However, volatile ingredients often provide only short-lived effects and can cause skin dryness or damage, while menthol frequently triggers irritation, stinging, or discomfort.<\/p>\n<p>To address these shortcomings, Kolmar Korea has developed a novel non-menthol cooling ingredient derived from a precisely formulated blend of multiple botanical extracts. This ingredient delivers an immediate, long-lasting cooling sensation while minimizing skin irritation, and further enhances performance through synergy with other cooling agents.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond its cooling properties, the ingredient offers soothing and elasticity-enhancing benefits while supporting the recovery of UV-damaged skin, making it highly versatile for a wide range of skincare and sun care applications. Utilizing this technology, Kolmar Korea has completed the development of a &#8220;Cooling Sun Essence&#8221; engineered to combat both heat-induced aging and photoaging.<\/p>\n<p>Kolmar Korea is also pioneering cooling technologies driven by internal water particles rather than chemical cooling agents. A prime example is its proprietary &#8220;water-drop&#8221; technology, in which the particle structure breaks down upon contact with the skin, releasing moisture in the form of micro-droplets.<\/p>\n<p>Most conventional water-drop formulations have long faced structural stability challenges in sunscreens. Over time, ingredients can separate, and microscopic cracks can form in the UV-protective film, significantly degrading sunscreen efficacy.<\/p>\n<p>To solve this issue, Kolmar Korea engineered a formulation utilizing a clay-based material composed of thin, interlocking layers. The particles are designed to collapse and release moisture only when friction is applied, allowing the UV-protective film to spread evenly across the skin.<\/p>\n<p>Upon application, this formulation reduces skin temperature by approximately 4 degrees Celsius (7.2 degrees Fahrenheit) and suppresses roughly 90% of subsequent heat-induced temperature increases.<\/p>\n<p>Kolmar Korea has similarly overcome the traditional limitations of stick formats by significantly increasing water content to maximize the cooling effect. A standout innovation is its &#8220;Jelly Sun Stick,&#8221; developed using a naturally derived seaweed ingredient.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike conventional stick cosmetics, the Jelly Sun Stick features a water-based surface layer that immediately refreshes and cools the skin upon contact.
