Multifunctionals for modern product protection

The ‘clean’ movement, which started a few years ago in the personal care market, is more and more of interest to consumers looking for enjoyable but responsible experience. When focusing on the product protection system, this concept is even more relevant. The list of acceptable preservatives has been shrinking due to regulations and negative press for more than 15 years, urging formulators to rethink the way they formulate. Multifunctionals have a key role to play here, bringing different advantages such as active and excipient properties and sensorial qualities. They enhance the product protection system of the formulations and comply with the main pillars used to describe Clean Beauty: respect for the skin and environmental safety, sustainability, ethics, and transparency. More than ever, these ingredients are in tune with the times.

Formulators of sunscreen emulsions face many challenges every day. A number of different raw materials are required to help boost the efficiency of UV filters, formulation stability, water resistance, film forming, pleasant skin feel, while at the same time striving for naturalness. SymEffect™ Sun fulfils all of these challenges of formulating modern sunscreen products with just one ingredient. It can effectively enhance the efficiency of the used UV filters, improve the water resistance and formulation stability, and has a beneficial impact on the skin feel of the emulsions. Based on responsibly sourced raw materials, SymEffect™ Sun is the next step towards a high degree of sustainability and naturalness in sun protection cosmetics.
