Seeking: New pigment particles and other methods for improving skin coloration, evening its tone, and masking imperfections

We’d like to find a new pigment application (or another way of masking discoloration) that is compatible with our current line of products, and that is “smart” enough to work both with light and the natural color of the underlying skin to provide a smooth, even skin tone. It would minimize the appearance of a wide range of skin tone variations and causes.
