CDF Glow Complex™ is a high-performance cosmetic raw material developed to deliver visible radiance through clarity, balanced tone, and refined skin texture. Rather than relying on surface shine or unstable brighteners, this system supports glow by addressing multiple contributors to dullness and uneven complexion simultaneously.
