Sun Care

CHOICE IS BEAUTIFUL

Today’s consumers are increasingly aware of the dangers of sun exposure and its harmful effects on skin. These damaging effects can manifest themselves as undesired premature aging, as well as skin cancer. As a result of this increased awareness, incorporating sun protection into daily-use body, facial products, and color cosmetics is now the norm, with an ever increasing demand for highly effective sun care formulations.

SILSOFT* E-PEARL PMF EMULSION

With products such as our Silsoft E-Pearl PMF emulsion, you can formulate aqueous sun care and sunscreen formulations to have a silky, light and dry after-feel with no tack. We offer a broad line of silicone-based emulsions, fluids, gels and resins that allow you to formulate high SPF sunscreens that provide water resistance, SPF boosting, enhanced spreadability and comfortable long wear. Our silicones can help formulators develop sun care formulations with a luxurious silky, powdery feel and excellent performance.

Silsoft E-Pearl PMF emulsion was named 2017’s Best Sensory Ingredient by Cosmetics Design’s Global Beauty Industry Awards.

SR 1000 RESIN

Using SR 1000 resin in sun care formulations can contribute to a 50% improvement in retention rate of SPF after immersion in water. The resin’s long-wearing properties are able to reduce product transfer and wash-off due to its resistance to water and sweat.

SILSOFT 034 FLUID

Silsoft 034 fluid can help modify the feel and improve the spreadability of a variety of cosmetic oils and can boost SPF in sunscreens. Now formulations that contain vegetable oils, cosmetic esters, petrolatum or mineral oil can feel less greasy and tacky. This fluid can help improve spreading, and thus reduce the rub-on time of lotions and creams.
