Beautiful Me has been designed to address the problem of acid attacks in southeast Asian countries and parts of Europe. This form of assault is done primarily to disfigure someone's body or in an attempt to kill them. As there are very few legal checks pertaining to the buying and selling of acid, we have developed a foundation (topical cream) which can act as a barrier against the acid. The foundation formula creates a thin film, which reacts with the acid to reduce its effects and prevents the acid from penetrating to the skin. This first layer of defense is oleophilic,  hence the acid can be washed off easily.
