Acme-Hardesty Co.
Optigel WX is an activated bentonite product. It is a natural hydrophilic
layered silicate thickener suitable for opaque thickening and
stabilization of water phases. It adds smoothness to the product, has
a heat-resistant thickening effect and provides enhanced anti-settling
properties in sun care and other personal care applications. INCI:
Bentonite (and) xanthan gum.
Actives International
ViaPure Coleus is a highly-purified, natural extract that has been
shown to both help prevent and repair damage to the DNA of epidermal
basal cells (EBCs) caused by UVB-exposure, making it suitable
for sun-exposed skin. In addition to photoaging benefits, it can help
maintain barrier function by elevating differentiation markers in the
skin. The combination of photoprotection for vulnerable EBCs and
improved barrier homeostasis make it a natural addition to sun care
formulations.
Ajinomoto Health & Nutrition North America, Inc.
Eldew PS-306R is an amino acid-based ceramide type-III mimicking
active. It has properties to recover skin damage caused by exposure to
the sun and harmful environmental stress. Its emollient properties
help strengthen the skin barrier. It can be used in sun care, skin care,
hair care and makeup applications. INCI: Phytosteryl/behenyl/octyldodecyl
lauroyl glutamate.
Ashland
Antaron ECo Ethylcellulose is based on sustainably-sourced, zerodeforestation,
wood-derived cellulose and is made in a water-based
manufacturing process, minimizing the use of solvents. This globallycompliant
film-former provides high water resistance at a low use
level. It is Halal and Kosher certified, vegan-suitable and provides
evidence of inherent biodegradation. Applications include sun care
anhydrous sprays, emulsions and gels. INCI: Ethylcellulose.
BASF Care Creations
Z-Cote HP1 X is a nano UV filter with high transparency and broadspectrum
UV performance. It also provides enhanced sensorial
benefits and is highly photostable and synergistic with organic and
inorganic UV filters. INCI: Zinc oxide (and) triethoxy-caprylylsilane.
Z-Cote Simple is a broad-spectrum inorganic UV filter that makes
formulating with zinc oxide convenient, as it eliminates the need
to pre-disperse. As a dispersion, it may give better SPF and consistent
results. It is non-nano, low whitening, highly photostable and
synergistic with organic and inorganic UV filters. INCI: Zinc oxide
(and) caprylic/capric triglyceride (and) polyhydroxystearicacid (and)
triethoxycaprylylsilane. Applications for both ingredients include sun
care, baby sun care and skin care/body care.
Biosil Technologies Inc.
Entadine is a skin care active based on Entada phaseoloides bark/
seed extract. It helps reduce sun-induced skin damage by boosting
the skin’s natural defenses and immunity to prevent sunburn
consequences and skin premature aging. Applications include sun
protection, anti-photoaging, anti-inflammation, hydration, firming
and prevention of photo-induced spots. INCI: Entada phaseoloides
bark/seed extract.
Algyl is a skin care ingredient that can help improve the efficiency
of the skin barrier with the conjugated properties of three red seaweeds
(Gigartina stellata, Kappaphycus alvarezii and Corallina officinalis)
in synergism with glycerin. Applications include sun care and aftersun
products and treatments for dry, dehydrated, damaged or mature
skin. INCI: Water (and) glycerin (and) Gigartina stellata/ Kappaphycus
alvarezii extract (and) Corallina officinalis extract.
Due to its ingredient combination, temperature and UV radiation
stability, Sun’Alg offers free radical scavenger potential, helps prevent
signs of premature aging and protects skin against damaging effects
of sun exposure. INCI: Pongamia glabra seed oil and Dunaliella salina
extract and Haematococcus pluvialis extract.
Helionori acts as a UVA bioprotector against UVA-induced skin
alterations, prevents premature photoaging and provides a safe
marine alternative to synthetic UVA filters. It supplies natural skin
protection against sunburn cell formation as well as the protection
of cells and their components, such as membrane lipids and DNA.
INCI: Porphyra umbilicalis.
Caribbean Natural Products, Inc.
Caribpure Raspberry Seed Oil possesses a high proportion of alpha
and gamma tocopherols (vitamin E), vitamin A and omega-3 and
omega-6 fatty acids. These contribute to the oil’s free radical scavenging
capability and lipid protection. Vitamin E is an antioxidant that
helps prevent oxidative damage, which can lead to premature skin
aging and skin cancer. The product absorbs UVB and UVC rays and
offers limited protection from UVA. It is anti-inflammatory due to
its high content of alpha linolenic acid and phytosterols. Elegiac acid
protects against ultraviolet damage. Applications include sunscreen
with SPF 20–40. INCI: Rosa rubigenosa Seed Oil.
Caribsun EF is a natural skin soothing agent with radical scavenging
properties comparable to vitamin C. It boosts sunscreen SPF
naturally due to powerful UVA absorption.
