Hello,
This is Dr. M, OTC Specialist at OTCM.

In our last newsletter, we proposed the "Clear Sun Stick" as a next-generation growth category.

We explained why achieving a transparent yet non-greasy finish is technically challenging and how OTCM overcame those hurdles.
This time, let’s flip the question:

In a market dominated by opaque (milky white), matte-finish sun sticks, how can your brand truly stand out?
point 1
Sun Stick Standards Defined by Real-Life Use

Reapplication is key. Consumers need protection during outdoor sports, water activities, and over makeup.

What does the "Ultimate Sun Stick" need?

✔ Maximum Protection: SPF50 PA++++

✔ Effortless Glide: Smooth, weightless application

✔ Instant Matte Finish: Zero shine, zero grease

✔ Long-wear: Water, sweat, and friction resistant

✔ Makeup-Safe: No pilling, no smudging

point 2
The Challenge with Matte Sun Sticks
Consumers often ask:
"Why are light formulas so weak, and waterproof ones so heavy?"

Usually, "Lightness" means a fragile film, and "Water Resistance" means a suffocating texture.

Most brands settle for one.
We asked: "Why not both?"

OTCM’s proprietary oil-blending technology allows two types of oils to form a dynamic network structure.

✔ The Action: Silky glide upon contact.

✔ The Result: Oils re-aggregate to form a "WaterShield" that resists moisture and friction.
4) Clean Formula for the Future

Considering that sun sticks are often used near oceans, we designed a "conscious" formula:
