SnowCaps ushers in a new era of beauty and wellness as it becomes the first official glutathione supplement partner of Binibining Pilipinas. This landmark collaboration, highlighted by the SnowCaps x Binibining Pilipinas Brand Day event, celebrates the modern Filipina beyond conventional standards of beauty. 

Anchored on the campaign “Gandang Premium Araw-Araw,” the partnership reflects a shared vision of confidence, empowerment, and authentic radiance rooted in self-care and wellness. More than simply promoting outward beauty, SnowCaps shifts the conversation towards empowered living and confidence that begins from within.


SnowCaps is a premium wellness supplement formulated to support everyday radiance, antioxidant protection, and skin wellness through a synergistic blend of clinically recognized ingredients. Primary of which is Setria® Glutathione, known as the master antioxidant, that helps reduce oxidative stress and supports a healthy, radiant glow. The other carefully selected ingredients include L-Citrulline that helps support healthy blood flow and overall vitality; Sodium Ascorbate that supports immunity and collagen formation; Zinc Gluconate which supports clear-looking skin and overall skin health; Vitamin E that helps protect cells from oxidative stress and supports skin barrier; Astaxanthin that helps protect skin cells and supports a youthful-looking complexion; and Black Pepper Extract that helps enhance the absorption of nutrients for better results.

Behind the brand is Vida Nutriscience Inc. (VNI), one of the country’s leading health and wellness companies committed to developing science-backed nutritional supplements that support modern lifestyles through innovation, premium ingredients, and wellness-driven solutions.


“Today’s Filipina radiates with confidence, ambition, wellness, and authenticity. Through SnowCaps, we want to inspire women to invest in themselves, embrace self-care, and pursue their own version of radiance every single day,” said Erick C. Armigos, President & CEO of VNI.


The collaboration positions SnowCaps alongside one of the country’s most enduring platforms for Filipina excellence and empowerment. Through the partnership, SnowCaps becomes part of the journey of Binibining Pilipinas candidates as they embody discipline, resilience, grace, and modern femininity.



Kicking off the Brand Day event was a special presentation by Akihito Nishimura, the Marketing Leader at Kyowa Hakko Bio, the Japan-based manufacturer of Setria® Glutathione. He guided guests through the science behind radiance and wellness with a special focus on the benefits and innovation behind Setria® Glutathione. Mr. Nishimura brings years of expertise in healthcare innovation, wellness science, and product development, further reinforcing SnowCaps’ commitment to combining beauty with scientific credibility.

The event also featured an engaging panel discussion moderated by top Cosmetic Surgeon and Medical Aesthetics Specialist Dr. Carmeline Santi Beronilla alongside the Binibining Pilipinas candidates. The lifestyle-focused conversation tackled topics relevant to today’s modern women, including glutathione and wellness, stress, sleep, and skin health, confidence and inner wellness, healthy daily habits, wellness routines and supplementation, and what sets SnowCaps apart as a premium wellness companion.


Adding glamour and excitement to the celebration was the “Different Faces of Radiance” runway show, where the Binibining Pilipinas candidates took center stage in a fashion showcase embodying the SnowCaps spirit. The segment highlighted how radiance can take many forms, from ambition and resilience to elegance and authenticity.

Mother’s Day doesn’t have to be grand to be meaningful. Often, it’s the simplest moments, shared meals, easy conversations, and time spent together at home that moms remember most.


This year, families can celebrate in ways that feel warm and thoughtful. With a few everyday favorites, even the most low-key plans can turn into something special.


Here are three easy ways to make Mother’s Day more meaningful:


Share a Home-Cooked Meal That Brings Everyone Together

There’s something comforting about gathering around the table to share a homemade meal. This Mother’s Day, take the time to cook for mom, or better yet, prepare and cook a simple dish together. Make a household favorite pasta dish featuring El Real Pasta and feast with the family to turn the experience into one that everyone will remember. 


Turn Everyday Merienda into Quality Time

A relaxed merienda, with no agenda, just good company and some sweet treats can make family bonding time more memorable. Spending quality time with loved ones is a treat in itself, especially with Jack ‘n Jill’s delightful and easy-to-share snacks that’s perfect for all ages. Sharing timeless favorites like Cream-O, Chippy, and Nips for a lighthearted break together can make the moment even more special. 


Make Shared Moments Feel Complete with Something to Pass Around

Whether it’s lunch, merienda, or a simple salu-salo, there’s something about sharing that can make moments fulfilling. Sharing a refreshing bottle of C2 Cool and Clean Litro adds to that sense of togetherness, making it easier to slow down and simply enjoy each other’s company, one sip at a time. 


At the end of the day, Mother’s Day is about showing appreciation in ways that feel genuine. It’s not about planning the perfect celebration, rather it’s about being present, sharing delightful food, laughter, and time with the family.


This Mother’s Day, everything you need to create these simple, meaningful moments—from pantry staples to shareable URC favorites—are available at your nearest supermarkets and convenience stores.


Universal Robina Corporation (URC), a Filipino food and beverage company, and maker of several iconic and well-loved brands such as Great Taste Coffee, C2 Cool and Clean, Jack ‘n Jill Piattos, Maxx Candy, and Cream-O. To learn more about URC, visit its website (www.urc.com.ph), Facebook page (@URCPhilippines) and TikTok account (@URCPhilippines).
