Wilmina Unveils New Face Powder for Summer
As the relentless heat of summer continues to intensify, Wilmina Inc., headquartered in Shinjuku, Tokyo, is proud to announce the launch of a revolutionary product designed to address problematic makeup issues caused by extreme temperatures. The new
Cool Charge Makeup Keep Powder UV promises to deliver a refreshing cooling effect, robust UV protection, and formidable makeup retention—all in one convenient formula. Starting from
April 2, 2026, this innovative face powder will be available in cooperative living organizations and on official e-commerce platforms, aiming to relieve the beauty struggles many face during sweltering summers.
Background of Development
The last few years have seen Japan grappling with record-breaking heat and stubborn humidity, trends predicted to worsen in the coming summers. The Japan Meteorological Association has reported that the summer of 2026 is expected to not only be hotter than average but also commence earlier than usual, which raises significant concerns for personal care in such extreme conditions.
For many, the combination of intense UV rays, sweat, and oil leads to makeup meltdown and uncomfortable skin irritations, creating a demand for effective summer solutions. Responding to these mounting challenges, Wilmina previously launched the
Cool Charge UV Gel in April 2025, which gained immense popularity thanks to its dual ability to provide strong UV protection and a refreshing cooling sensation. Following this success, the company is set to release the
Cool Charge Makeup Keep Powder UV, the second installment in this much-anticipated series.
Product Features
This new face powder is designed to encapsulate the essence of three potent attributes:
cooling sensation,
makeup retention, and
UV protection. As soon as it is applied, users will experience a soothing feeling that lasts throughout the day thanks to its unique cooling architecture. With this product, staying fresh and flawless is no longer a challenge, even in the harsh summer heat. The aim is to transform makeup touch-ups into a “cooling recharge time,” providing added comfort during the long summer days.
