Ashland Specialty Ingredients presented the merits of Escalol S UV filter as an important ingredient in highly efficient broad-spectrum sun care products at the Florida Society of Cosmetic Chemists meeting in Lake Buena Vista, Florida.
This single ingredient helps filter out sunburn-causing UV-B, as well as dermis penetrating UV-A radiation, both of which can lead to an increase in the risk of skin cancer.
“Providing sun care product formulators access to the latest sunscreen technologies is essential to the production of effective, and cosmetically elegant sun care formulations that offer optimised protection from the damaging effects of UV radiation,” said Anna A. Gripp, global marketing manager, Sun Care, Ashland Specialty Ingredients. “Escalol S UV filter is popular due to its broad-spectrum effectiveness.”
“Just as importantly, Escalol S UV filter works synergistically with other filters to provide improved sun protection factor (SPF) ratings and enhanced UV-A protection.”
