Symrise has taken the wraps off Neo Heliopan 310, said to be a powerful UVB filter with an excellent solubilization profile.
The German maker says the new product is highly compatible with other cosmetic ingredients, thus helping customers achieve high sun protection factors (SPF) in a range of applications.
This includes sunscreen, anti-ageing, and anti-wrinkle products, serums, and lotions.
Also, the UVB filter is approved for use at up to 10% in sun care and skin care products in the EU, Mercosur, ASEAN, and China.
The organic crystalline UVB filter Neo Heliopan 310 (INCI: Diethylhexyl Butamido Triazone) is said to come with superior absorption capacity.
It reaches an absorption peak of 310 nm due to its three chromophore groups. As one of the most photostable UVB filters on the market it also offers a very good safety profile and provides photoageing prevention properties.
Its reliable performance and its excellent solubility make it ideal for water-resistant sunscreens and water-free formulations as well as typical emulsions.
“Sun protection becomes increasingly important for consumers around the world,” said Julio Bombonati, Global Category Director Sun Protection at Symrise.
“At Symrise Cosmetic Ingredients, we strive for continuously enhancing our UV filter portfolio with solutions like Neo Heliopan 310,” he added.
“Our product is giving answers to regulatory requirements known from traditional UV filters and it also provides strong UV protection and photoageing prevention. Thus, our offering fulfils the needs of customers and consumers alike.”
