Hi, how are you?
In this issue, we will introduce SUNSIL-S, a silica capsule product that allows the customers to create light feeling formulations with high UV protection by using chemical UV filters(BEMT) in water phase, typically used in oil phase.
SUNSIL-S is a raw material in which the chemical UV filter BEMT(Bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine) is encapsulated in silica. By using it in the water phase, light-feeling suncare formulations can be developed. As the successor to the Hybrid series(PMMA capsules) which has been sold more than 40MT annually since its patent application in 2007, SUNSIL-S is a product incorporated with silica instead of PMMA, making it a microplastic-free product.
Most chemical UV filters need to be used in oil phase, but SUNSIL-S can be used in water phase. This allows UV filters to be incorporated into both the oil and water phases of a formulation, thereby maximizing the UV protection efficacy.
Furthermore, since SUNSIL-S provides a light and smooth skin feel, it is ideal for use in O/W sun gel formulations that need to limit the oil phase. This make it possible to create a light feeling SPF50 & PA++++ sun gel formulations without the need to use ethanol.
SUNSIL-S is a silica capsule product containing 30% of BEMT, allowing for a lighter skin feeling and higher UV protection performance.
