KONCIWA Co., Ltd. has announced its new product, '-40℃ SHADE', which boasts the highest heat-blocking performance in the brand's history. As the name suggests, it combines special reflective cooling technology with a seven-layer heat-blocking structure to achieve a heat-blocking effect of up to minus 40°C (*). It is a must-have item to spend the harsh Japanese summer cool and beautifully.

Development Background: Why does 'heat-blocking' lead to whitening? Strong sunlight not only causes sunburn, but heat-induced perspiration and body temperature rise also degrade the skin's barrier function.

In addition to 'thorough light-blocking', KONCIWA focused on 'heat-blocking' to dramatically lower sensible temperature. By providing a coolness comparable to being in the shade, we propose a 'whitening experience' that prevents makeup from smudging due to sweat and keeps the skin translucent.

3 Technologies realizing overwhelming heat-blocking and light-blocking [7-Layer Heat-Blocking Structure x Reflective Cooling Technology] Adopts a multi-layered structure of seven layers including 'reflective cooling technology' inspired by spacesuits and building materials. Physically reflects and blocks heat, recording an astonishing 61% heat-blocking rate. Realized a temperature difference of up to minus 40°C.

[High-Density 70D Thick Fabric] Uses thicker '70D (denier)' material than regular umbrellas. By eliminating physical gaps, it achieves both complete light-blocking that does not pass light and high durability.

[Large Design] Designed one size larger than standard parasols, it thoroughly covers shoulders and back. By blocking heat over a wide range, it suppresses body temperature rise.

3 Approaches to science of 'whitening' Thorough Light-Blocking & UV Cut: 7-layer structure physically shuts out direct sunlight.

Sweat-Suppressing Effect by Heat-Blocking: By maintaining coolness, it suppresses perspiration, preventing makeup smudging and rough skin.

Inner Black Coating: Absorbs reflections (scattered light) from the ground, reducing facial reflection to zero.

Excellent Functionality and Design Sun & Rain Dual Use, Grade 5 Waterproof: Highest level of water repellency to handle sudden guerrilla rainstorms.

Anti-Rebound Design: Adopts a safe multi-stage storage system that prevents breaking even in strong winds and prevents 'popping out' when stored.

3-Color Variation: Three sophisticated color variations that blend into everyday style. Brushed Beige, Ice Gray, Black
