APPLICATIONS
SunscreensDay creams

Used in combination with UVA absorbers in sun protection formulations. The dosage will vary mainly depending on the SPF to be achieved (SPF must be tested in the finished product). Its water insolubility makes it ideal for water-resistant formulations.

DESCRIPTION

A UVB-range UV filter that does not change the color of the finished product, is widely accepted worldwide and is highly compatible with many cosmetic ingredients. Requires an HLB of 6–8. It also adds emollient properties to emulsions without being sticky or oily. It offers additional absorption in the short-wave UVA spectrum. Maximum absorption occurs at 304–314 nm.

Practical formulation guide
Usage level: 2.0–10 % maximum.
How to use and incorporate: Mineral filters (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide): disperse in the oil phase with a dispersing emollient (for example C12-15 alkyl benzoate) and homogenize with high shear. Organic filters: dissolve in the hot oil phase until fully dissolved.
Formulation tips:
  • The SPF and UVA protection of the finished product depend on the whole formula and can only be claimed after testing the final product.
  • Combine UVA and UVB filters and use film formers to improve water resistance.
  • Before scaling up, make a pilot batch and run a stability test (cycles at 4 / 25 / 45 °C/39 / 77 / 113 °F for 4 weeks, checking odor, color, pH, viscosity and separation) in the final packaging.
Compatibility: Compatible with cosmetic emollients, silicones and emulsifiers. Some organic filters (avobenzone) require photostabilizers.
Storage: In closed bottles at room temperature.
Precautions: No special precautions; do not ingest.
Technical information for formulators: This sheet describes industrial uses of the raw material in the development of cosmetic products. It is not an efficacy claim for any finished product. The person responsible for the formulation must validate the concentration, compatibility and claims of their product in accordance with applicable regulations.
