Hello, this is Dr. M, your OTC specialist at OTCM.

In the global beauty market, "Fun Texture" has emerged as a pivotal trend. This has recently evolved into the concept of "Funtility" (Fun + Utility), where consumers demand not only high-performance efficacy but also emotional satisfaction and joy during the moment of application.
point 1
What's Driving the Jelly Texture Craze?
In this shift toward experiential beauty, Jelly textures are taking center stage. Inspired by food - such as "cloud," "whipped cream," and "mochi" - these textures first gained momentum in Korea. Among them, Jelly is rapidly expanding across skincare and makeup due to its distinctive "bouncy" elasticity and sensorial engagement.

For Gen Z and Gen Alpha, the tactile joy of pressing, shaking, and touching a product transforms daily skincare into sharable content.
This experience naturally leads to social media engagement, strengthening the emotional bond between the consumer and the brand.

Market insights from the US and UK also indicate that purchase intent increases significantly when a brand is associated with "joy" or "happiness."

The OTCM Approach: Jelly 2.0
In light of this trend, Jelly formulations have emerged as a definitive 'Fun Texture,' prompting numerous brands to strategically incorporate them into their core portfolios.




However, implementing these textures in skincare entails significant technical hurdles.
a) Instability: High-elasticity structures can compromise formula stability.
b) Finish Issues: They can often leave a sticky or heavy residue on the skin.

The market is now ready for the next evolution. In this newsletter, OTCM introduces Jelly 2.0 - a superior advancement in sensory formulation.

OTCM Proposal - Pudding Cream

OTCM addresses these challenges by proposing the Pudding Texture.

Characterized by its milky aesthetics and high-recoil 'jiggle,' this texture delivers a superior sensorial experience. The secret behind its distinctive elasticity lies in our high-concentration 67% Collagen Water formula.



1) Pudding Texture: 67% Collagen Water

Beyond mere novelty, the pudding-like bounce provides a premium sensory experience. Upon contact, it spreads densely over the skin, acting as a "cushion" that delivers both deep hydration and immediate elasticity.

2) Non-Sticky Finish with Oil-Dispersion Tech.

The primary drawback of conventional jelly textures is tackiness, caused by the gel network used to create elasticity.

OTCM’s Pudding Texture overcomes this through a 3D Porous Network that captures and fixes oil at a microscopic level. This prevents oil from clumping into thick, sticky films, resulting in a thin, uniform layer that ensures a fresh and silky finish.
3) Triple Synergy: PDRN + Milk Protein Complex + CERAPLEX

More than just a sensorial format, this pudding texture is designed to perform.

A Triple Synergy System - Skin Recovery, Nutrient Delivery, and Barrier Enhancement - supports the restoration of damaged skin, enhances hydration, and improves moisture retention.

The result : stronger, well-hydrated skin with long-lasting resilience.
