New publication on filters in sunscreen

The summer sun is becoming powerful these days. Have you considered that #sunscreens are questioned due to the proven or believed #ecotoxicity of organic #ultraviolet (UV) filters? This has pushed developers increasingly towards the use of #inorganicfilters, which however prove difficult to spread with low compliance.

In our fresh publication “Criticisms in the Development of High Protection and Broad Spectrum ‘Natural/Organic’ Certifiable Sunscreen”, the authors faced the problem by proposing a rational approach based on the evaluation of the morphology of the inorganic material – indeed, the real dimension often does not correspond to the characteristic declared by the producers because the material itself tends to aggregate.

A combination of a specially selected inorganic filter is required to formulate following Cosmetic Products having Connotation Natural and #Sustainable (CPCNS) standards.
