Ingredients
for Sun Care
AAK
Lipex PreAct is a bioactive emollient derived from renewable and
locally grown rapeseed oil. It combines skin protecting and caring
activities from natural vitamin E and phytosterols with emollient
and moisturizing properties. It is a safe and stable ingredient suited
for sun care, skin care and body care applications. Lipex PreAct is
photoprotecting; its high content of tocopherols and phytosterols
combines both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties to
protect the skin against environmental stress conditions, maintain
the skin barrier function and balance skin conditions. These aspects
are important for improving the skin protecting properties of
sunscreen formulations, according to the company. Actives include
900ppm tocopherols and 7000ppm phytosterols. INCI name:
canola oil (EU) (US).
Aako
AakoSun AVB (Avobenzone) is an oil-soluble UVA and UVB filter
that is approved in many countries worldwide for use in sun care
formulations. Because of its hydrophobic nature and its solubility
in oil, it is particularly suitable to use in water-repellent and waterresistant
formulations. It can be combined with other oil-soluble
UV filters such as AakoSun OCR, AakoSun BEMT or AakoSun
OTZ to provide photostabile broad spectrum UVA and UVB
protection. INCI name: butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane.
Ashland
Antaron (Ganex) Sensory is a polymer technology that forms a
matrix with UV filters to amplify the efficacy of water-resistant SPF
50+. It also helps reduce a greasy feeling on application and enables
the sunscreen to dry quickly and prevent sand from sticking
to the skin. It can also be used in body and facial care products,
including foundations, with pigment compatibility and transfer resistance.
INCI name: vp/acrylates/lauryl methacrylate copolymer.
Coast Southwest, Inc.
Endicare C adds protection to sun care products and color
cosmetics. It is suitable for use in creams, lotions and serums for
anti-inflammatory, anti-aging skin care, skin tone brightening and
anti-oxidant activity. Its antioxidants scavenge free radicals, help
protect from UV damage, stimulate collagen synthesis and help
improve the appearance of skin tone. Endicare C is a high-purity
grade of Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, which is a stable vitamin C
derivative for use in a variety of skin care products. INCI name:
sodium ascorbyl phosphate.
Croda
Infraveil IT-100 is a physical shield to infrared-A (IRA) rays delivering
instant skin protection from IR-aging. It has a large particle size
yet minimal whitening on skin thanks to its patented dispersion
technology, which creates an active to add to sunscreen and skin
care products to deliver guaranteed IR protection claims. INCI
name: titanium dioxide (and) C12-15 alkyl benzoate (and) polyhydroxystearic
acid (and) aluminum hydroxide (and) zinc oxide (and)
isostearic acid.
Givaudan Active Beauty
Vegetan Evolve is based on erythrulose, which possesses the same
properties as dihydroxyacetone (DHA), the reference molecule for
self-tanning. It triggers the Maillard reaction and leads to the production
of brown compounds, the melanoidins. These pigments,
linked to the proteins of the skin, provide a tanning effect within
hours. Vegetan Evolve can be used in association with DHA for
self-tanning products that are long-lasting, have a natural aspect,
provide a darker, sun-kissed appearance and are gentle on the skin.
INCI name: erythrulose (and) aqua.
Innospec
Dispersun DSP-OL100 Sunscreen is a natural dispersant for
ultrafine titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. It can significantly
increase UV absorption of sunscreens containing pigments, as well
as reduce whitening when applied to skin. It decreases viscosity of
dispersions at dose rates of just a few percent, allowing higher concentrations
of pigment to be used. It also improves optical transparency
and UV absorption, which enables cost savings due to the
need for fewer pigments. INCI name: Polyhydroxystearic acid.
Sunsolv BOS is an ester of salicylic acid and a branched C-12
alcohol. Its utility can be broadly summarized into three categories:
solubilizer, photostabilizer and carrier/dispersant. The product
offers low viscosity and relatively high polarity. It can be used as a
solubilizer for crystalline UV filters, as a photostabilizer for photounstable
UV filters and as a carrier and dispersant for TiO2 and
ZnO. INCI name: butyloctyl salicylate.
Jeen International
Jeechem NDA is a new emollient that acts as a functional replacement
to all synthetic/ petrochemical-derived alkanes. It is a
high-purity tetradecane hydrocarbon derived from all-natural raw
materials that are renewable, sustainable and biodegradable. It
combines characteristics of being simultaneously natural, dry, volatile,
light and fresh and can be formulated into sun care products,
