From R&D Self-Reliance to Standard Reshaping: How Chinese Brand BABI Decodes Global Photoprotection Challenges and Reconstructs Sunscreen Logic with Patented Technology

HANGZHOU, China, March 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Over the past decades, the evolution of sun protection has been closely tied to humanity's fight against skin photoaging. Despite the widespread awareness of sun protection, market feedback reveals a harsh reality: "suboptimal suncare experiences" remain a core pain point for consumers in both Asian and Western markets. This structural contradiction becomes particularly acute in extreme environments and high-intensity social scenarios:

Addressing these industry pain points, BABI (Hangzhou Blue Pool Technology Co., Ltd.), a science-led Chinese beauty brand, has introduced a systemic solution: the BABI Repairing & Tinted Whitening Sunscreen Cream 2.0. Based on invention patent ZL202411751091.2, this product fundamentally reconstructs the logic of photoprotection across two dimensions: cell biology and formulation architecture.

I. Paradigm Shift: Deep Compatibility Between High Protection and Sensitive Skin Friendliness

To resolve the conflict between "high efficiency" and "skin irritation," the BABI Repairing & Tinted Whitening Sunscreen Cream first achieves a breakthrough in protective power. Leveraging patented technology, the product utilizes 7 chemical filters combined with physical shielding to achieve full-spectrum protection (280-400 nm). Independent testing confirms an SPF of 65 and PFA of 16. Even after a rigorous 80-minute water resistance simulation, the SPF remains stable at 36, demonstrating long-lasting protection against sweat and friction.

In addition to high protection, BABI extends its scope to the real-time neuro-sensory feedback of skin following thermal damage. The BABI Laboratory integrated the scientific breakthrough of the 2021 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine: the TRPV1 channel. Widely distributed in nerve endings, this channel mediates inflammatory responses triggered by heat and UV rays. BABI innovatively introduced Kava (Piper methysticum) Extract, a clinically proven TRPV1 antagonist that acts rapidly on nerve endings to inhibit overactivation at the source. This means BABI Repairing & Tinted Whitening Sunscreen Cream creates not just a physical barrier, but a "sensory blocker" at the cellular level to alleviate burning and stinging instantly.

With a commitment to sensitive skin, the formula adheres to a "Zero-Additives" philosophy, rejecting multiple common allergens. This "post-procedure grade" soothing logic fundamentally transforms the rigid "protection-only" approach of traditional sunscreens.

II. Sensory Revolution: "Breathable" Defense via 5-Second Application and Dual-Membrane Matrix

BABI Repairing & Tinted Whitening Sunscreen Cream reshapes the user experience to combat the "heavy layering" that consumers despise.

• Oil Phase (PBSA Dense Barrier): Ensures high-level protection with no gaps.
• Water Phase (Moisture-Locking Membrane): Utilizes porous microspheres to absorb excess oil, achieving a perfect balance between protection and breathability. This ensures 24-hour color integrity and prevents makeup from oxidizing or darkening.

III. Functional Minimalism: Pharmacological-Grade Dual Certifications and "Four-in-One" Consumption

Unlike single-function products, BABI Repairing & Tinted Whitening Sunscreen Cream holds dual "Special Use" certifications for "Whitening/Spot-Fading" and "Sun Protection."

Through the synergistic system of patent ZL202411751091.2, the product achieves vertical functional integration. For whitening, it combines 2% High-Purity Niacinamide, Ethyl Ascorbic Acid (VC derivative), and Morus Alba Root Extract. Supported by the "Dual-Membrane" delivery technology, these actives bypass the skin barrier to act deeply on melanocytes. Clinical data shows that melanin levels decreased by 23.95% and skin transparency improved by 11.68% after 28 days of use, creating a comprehensive protection-and-repair mechanism.

BABI's "Simple & Outstanding" philosophy is essentially "reductionist engineering" for modern women's complex routines. One bottle serves as a Tone-up Cream + Sunscreen + Whitening Essence + Makeup Primer.

IV. Brand Evolution Driven by Core Technology

Founded in 2021, BABI represents the shift of Chinese beauty brands from "marketing-driven" to "hard-core technology-driven." By translating cutting-edge research like TRPV1 into tangible products and deepening its expertise in patented processes, BABI matches the technical benchmarks of international Tier-1 brands. By innovatively integrating sun protection with base makeup, BABI effectively resolves the long-standing dilemmas that have plagued consumers, ensuring that high-performance sun protection and a superior skin feel are no longer a trade-off. Furthermore, it simultaneously addresses the demands for whitening and safety while simplifying the skincare and makeup routine, making beauty truly effortless.

The launch of the BABI Repairing & Tinted Whitening Sunscreen Cream marks the establishment of a high technical barrier in the "Sunscreen Makeup Base" sector. It provides a Chinese blueprint for the global market: how rigorous research and process breakthroughs can transform complex dermatological protection into a simple, exquisite aesthetic for every consumer.

This reflects the formidable innovative power that Chinese brands are demonstrating across various sectors as China continues its ascent. We believe that in the future, more Chinese brands will emerge to create even more extraordinary and outstanding achievements.

From R&D Self-Reliance to Standard Reshaping: How Chinese Brand BABI Decodes Global Photoprotection Challenges and Reconstructs Sunscreen Logic with Patented Technology

HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam, April 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Vietnam's development landscape is accelerating, with projects growing larger, more complex, and more commercially ambitious than ever before. As coastal destinations and emerging urban districts scale up, master planning has shifted from a conceptual exercise to a decisive commercial tool shaping feasibility, phasing, and long–term value.

Responding to this market shift, Dewan Architects is significantly expanding its master planning work across Vietnam. As they are currently ranked no. 10 Urban planners in the World by the WA100 and backed by an international urban design team, the firm is currently delivering projects ranging from 25 to over 3,000 hectares across Vietnam—spanning new city districts, integrated resorts, and challenging coastal and mountainous sites.

Each project begins with a clear understanding that land is not a blank canvas. The physical characteristics of the site, its topography, infrastructure connections, and environmental conditions all play a defining role in shaping the masterplan. Rather than imposing generic solutions, Dewan's approach is to unlock the potential of each site through a structured and analytical process that translates constraints into opportunities.

For developers, this has direct implications. Early planning decisions determine not only the identity of a project, but also its efficiency, phasing strategy, and return on investment. Land use distribution, density allocation, circulation networks, and infrastructure planning are carefully coordinated to ensure that projects are both commercially viable and operationally efficient. This level of clarity reduces risk, supports smoother approvals, and enables more controlled project delivery.

Dewan's strength lies in combining international design expertise with a deep and practical understanding of how projects are realised in Vietnam. Over years of working in the market, the team has developed a strong awareness of regulatory processes, construction realities, climate considerations, and buyer expectations. This knowledge enables Dewan to anticipate challenges early and respond with realistic, buildable solutions aligned with market demand.

Beyond the macro scale, a key differentiator is the level of detail embedded at the master planning stage. Decisions related to orientation, shading, microclimate, and the relationship between built and open spaces are addressed from the outset. These elements may appear secondary, but they have a direct impact on usability, operational costs, and long-term asset value. By resolving these aspects early, projects are positioned to outperform comparable developments in both quality and user experience.

This attention to detail is particularly important in Vietnam's evolving real estate landscape, where end users are becoming more discerning and expectations around quality of living continue to rise. Developments are no longer evaluated solely on location or scale, but on how well they support daily life. Walkability, access to amenities, environmental comfort, and the overall sense of place are becoming defining factors in purchasing decisions.

Dewan's master planning approach addresses these expectations by creating environments that feel coherent, intuitive, and comfortable. The goal is to deliver communities where movement is logical, spaces are well proportioned, and the relationship between architecture, landscape, and infrastructure is seamless. This balance between technical performance and human experience is what ultimately defines the success of a development.

Another critical aspect is flexibility. Large scale projects in Vietnam are often delivered in phases over multiple years. A strong masterplan must therefore be robust enough to guide long term development, while remaining adaptable to changing market conditions. Dewan's planning strategies incorporate this flexibility, allowing projects to evolve without compromising their overall vision or quality.

For developers and operators, this translates into greater control over the lifecycle of a project. Phasing can be adjusted, components can be introduced or refined over time, and the development can respond to shifts in demand while maintaining a consistent identity. This long-term perspective is essential in ensuring sustained value rather than short term gains.

Ultimately, Dewan positions master planning as the foundation of successful development. It is where design, infrastructure, commercial strategy, and user experience are aligned into a single framework. When these elements are considered together from the beginning, the result is not only a well-designed project, but a development that performs, adapts, and endures.

As Vietnam continues to grow and attract investment, the importance of this approach becomes even more evident. Projects that are carefully planned, contextually grounded, and strategically structured will define the next generation of development across the country. Dewan's role is to support this evolution by delivering masterplans that combine global expertise with a clear understanding of how to create places that work in reality, for developers, operators, and the communities they serve.
