We understand that some of our consumers have been wondering when we will be launching a deeper shade in our CC Cream – especially since we have a Chocolat shade in our CC Water, BB Cream and Super BB.
Despite having our CC Cream Chocolat in development for the past three years, with several dozen formula tests, we still haven’t been able to obtain a result that matches our standards. We are determined to offer all skins tones the same finish and level of skincare that our CC Cream provides; an evened out skin tone with natural coverage, a luminous finished and added sun protection.
As you probably know, the magic of our CC Cream lies in the encapsulate pigments within the formula: they are undetectable out of the tube (due to their white shell) but break to match the skin tone upon application. These encapsulated pigments allow for a more flexible shade range, which is why one shade can match a large range of complexions regardless of skin undertones.
To make CC Cream available for deeper skin tones, it is necessary to significantly increase the concentration of these encapsulated pigments in the cream base which makes it much more challenging to blend. When adding SPF in addition to this, we have found there can be an ashy finish on the skin, hence our current CC Cream Chocolat formulas not being up to standard for us or you, the customer. We are dedicated to making the very best product possible, and are excited to share more news with you in the near future – thank you so much for your patience and please know that this is a top priority for the brand!
