The interest of end consumers in inorganic UV-filters is rising as they are seen as being safer and a more natural alternative compared to organic UV-filters. However, also sun care products with inorganic UV-filters should fulfil certain customer needs such as nice skin sensory, non-whitening and non-nano. As experts in TiO2 and ZnO UV-filters Croda has now expanded its SolaveilTM Range and launched SolaveilTM MicNo®, an innovative range of ZnO powders and dispersions, that combine all the benefits and provides formulators with the best, no compromise. SolaveilTM MicNo® is based on patented, platelet-shaped structures that ensure the particles are large enough to be suitable for natural and COSMOS approved formulations, whilst also being transparent on the skin. This level of transparency makes them extremely versatile and suitable for a wide range of end applications. SolaveilTM MicNo® meets current global guidelines for UVA protection as well as achieving higher SPF efficacy than conventional spherical shaped ZnO products.
