A new way to test natural
sunscreen ingredients
An on-going shift toward natural ingredients is changing
the way products function. Natural ingredients often
behave much differently in formulations than synthetic ingredients,
and that may impact traditional testing standards
and protocols.
“Certain types of testing may not accurately capture the
intricate functionality of natural ingredients, like oilseeds
that store oil in small encapsulation vehicles called oleosomes,”
said Kathy Mish, Marketing Manager at personal
care ingredient company Botaneco. “Alternative in vitro testing
protocols, such as spectrophotometrics, illustrate the
unique functionality that complex natural ingredients bring
to personal care.”
Botaneco is studying new approaches to evaluate the SPF
of sun care products containing natural ingredients, such as
oleosomes.
“Our goal is to find a simple, faster, more reliable in vitro
method to verify the SPF of formulas containing organic UV
filters and natural ingredients,” said Soo In Yang, Research
Scientist, Botaneco.
