New
Ingredients
for Sun Care
Alban Muller
Organic Repulpami ER Cosmos Certified is developed from two
certified organic plants in Senegal: white hibiscus and baobab.
They are harvested manually by producers in compliance with
the rules of organic farming and fair trade. The blend of white
hibiscus and baobab fruit extracts has natural rejuvenation and
multi-action efficacy in After-Sun Care products.
Ashland
Antaron ECo gel provides an easy incorporation of nature-derived
water resistance into Sunscreens and offers a lighter feel suitable
for spray, gel, lotion or milk formulas. It starts with a globally
compliant film former that is based on sustainably sourced woodderived
cellulose and provides water resistance and light formula
aesthetics. The ethylcellulose is incorporated into a biodegradable
Sun Care solvent. The resulting gel can easily be incorporated
into a formula, saving energy for formulators during production.
The vegan-friendly, translucent, smooth gel can be used globally
by formulators to achieve water and sweat resistance in Sun Care
formulas.
BASF
BASF is investing to double its global Uvinul A Plus production
capacity with the introduction of a new line at its Kaohsiung site
in Taiwan. The additional capacity is expected to come on stream
by mid-2022. BASF currently produces Uvinul A Plus—which
filters dangerous UVA rays and provides protection from free radicals
and skin damage—at its site in Ludwigshafen, Germany.
Centerchem
Syn-Glow is a synthetic peptide that works with the skin to bring
out its natural, healthy glow. Formulated to selectively boost the
Melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R), it regulates skin tanning and
also strengthens skin defenses from within. It contains no preservatives
and is vegan-friendly.
Corum Inc.
Et-VC is a novel vitamin C derivative with whitening, antioxidation,
radicals scavenging and collagen-increasing effects.
Corum 5014—a solubilizer for UV filters—is made from a plantderived
alkyl group and recommended as a replacement for C12-
15 alkyl benzoate, isopropyl myristate and isopropyl palmitate.
Corum 5015 is a diester of a many branched long chain alcohol
and malic acid. It is a high polar ester because of the derivative
of α-hydroxy acid. Corum 5015 has good oxidative stability and
castor oil-like function. It has good pigment dispersibility and
solubility with vegetable oils, mineral oils and solvents. All three
ingredients have applications that include Sunscreen sprays.
DSM Personal Care
Parsol ZX is a globally-approved mineral UV filter formulated to
deliver maximum SPF, UVA and blue light protection with high
transparency. With applications in Sun Care, it also maintains low
viscosity when tested in different emollients, meaning high use
levels are possible without compromise on dispersibility.
DSM has also integrated eco-profiling into its free online tool,
the Sunscreen Optimizer 2.0. Formulators can now evaluate the
environmental impact of formulations using a science-based method
and SPF benchmarking. According to DSM, this saves time and
expense by assessing the trade-offs between eco-friendliness, cost
and sensory factors at the project stage.
Evonik
Tego Natural Amaranth is a composition rich in natural squalene
for a smooth skin feel. It retains the skin’s elasticity and helps
prevent photodamage, making it suitable for After-Sun treatments.
Tego Natural Phloretin is a highly enriched extract with energizing
antioxidative properties for healthy-looking skin and additional
skin defense potential. Its antioxidative and skin defense properties
can help add to the protective nature of Sunscreen systems while
providing a natural botanical based on apples. It is also suitable for
After-Sun applications.
Tego Sterol 7-DHC is a natural skin sterol that has been found
to provide protective skin benefits relative to UV exposure. Applications
include After-Sun treatment and Sunscreens.
Floratech
Floraesters K-100 Jojoba and Floraesters K-20W Jojoba are multifunctional,
film-forming jojoba derivatives that deliver jojoba
emolliency with high substantivity and a degree of water resistance.
Both have applications in Sun Care products.
Innospec Performance Chemicals
Sunsolv BOS is an ester of salicylic acid and a branched C-12 alcohol.
The product offers low viscosity and relatively high polarity. It
can be used as a solubilizer for crystalline UV filters, as a photostabilizer
for photo-unstable UV filters and as a carrier and dispersant
for TiO2 and ZnO. Applications include Sunscreens.
