Solésence Day Mode Hero Concealer SPF 50+ Wins Three Categories at the 2026 Cosmetics & Toiletries Allē Awards, Marking Fourth Year of Recognition
Solésence, Inc. (Nasdaq: SLSN) a leader in scientifically-driven health care solutions across beauty and life science categories, today announced that its prototype product, Day Mode Hero Concealer SPF 50+, has won across three prototype product/chassis categories at the 2026 Cosmetics & Toiletries (C&T) Allē Awards: Anti-Aging, Color Cosmetics, and Compromised Skin. These awards mark Solésence’s fourth year of recognition at the Allē Awards since 2022.
Day Mode Hero Concealer SPF 50+ leverages three proprietary Solésence technologies to deliver a daily use cosmetic that pushes the boundaries of skin care, sun care, and makeup categories through the delivery of OTC actives in a concealer that carries skin care and sun care claims. Day Mode is powered by award-winning, globally patented Kleair™ alongside two recently launched Solésence technologies, patented WHSPR™ and proprietary Chromalüm™, both announced by the Company earlier this month. Day Mode’s proprietary technology stack works in synergy to promote overall skin health and longevity through broad-spectrum SPF 50+, free radical quenching, and skin protectant claims, among other benefits.
“Anti-aging, color cosmetics, and compromised skin represent three unique consumer needs, and winning across all three categories with a single product is a rare distinction,” commented Yoana Dvorzsak, Vice President of Innovation and Product Integrity. “This recognition speaks to the power of our proprietary technologies to unlock new spaces within beauty, reaching the consumer in ways the industry had not yet imagined. The concealer delivers skin healing, environmental protection, and high-performance coverage in a complexion product consumers will want to use every day.”
“Since our company’s founding, our mission has been to enhance skin health and overall wellbeing through commercializing new technologies that broaden the accessibility and results achieved with beauty and wellness products,” said Kevin Cureton, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We are pleased to be recognized for Day Mode as it is a prime example of how technology platforms can be translated into new market opportunities, creating products that push category boundaries and address the evolving needs of beauty consumers while benefiting their overall skin health.”
The C&T Allē Awards recognize excellence across criteria including novelty and practicality, sustainability, safety, stability, and proof of efficacy. These latest recognitions extend Solésence’s consecutive winning streak at the Allē Awards. In 2025, Solésence won in the best prestige finished formula category for Au Lait Face Milk SPF 50+ featuring Solésence Kleair™. In 2024, the same honor was awarded for Soft Glow SPF 50+, and in 2022, Solésence Kleair™ was named best sun/light protection ingredient. The 2026 awards were announced at the C&T Allē Awards Ceremony on May 18th, with Solésence team members Yoana Dvorzsak (Vice President of Innovation and Product Integrity), Maggie Ciafardini (Managing Director of Business Development), Kelsey Kruslak (Senior Manager, Integrated Marketing) and Maria Salinas (Manager of Product Development) in attendance.
Presented by Cosmetics & Toiletries (C&T), a leading B2B cosmetics R&D media brand and parent company Allured Business Media, the Allē Awards bring behind-the-scenes beauty innovation into the spotlight, honoring the scientific acumen, formulating skill, intuition, and vision of innovators involved throughout the cosmetics and personal care product development process.
