The launch aligns with the growing skinification of sun care trend - daily sun care usage - where SPF is increasingly integrated into daily cosmetic products, reflecting consumer demand for multi-functional skin care solutions that combine UV protection with diverse skin care benefits.

 This new rheology modifier addresses the rising demand for lightweight textures in daily SPF products.

"As experts in rheology modifier technology, we deliver solutions that meet the market's need for high-performance, protective products,” she added.

The cold-processable Aristoflex Sun offers formulators the convenience of a pre-neutralized polymer that excels in thickening and texturizing while ensuring optimal UV filter stability.
