Hectorite study featured on Langmuir, a SCI journal

By Kim, Sanguk
April 2021, NO.12

Hi, How are you?

We are proud to announce that our study on Hectorite has been featured on the front cover of Langmuir, a SCI journal published by the American Chemical Society.

In this study, we presented a Pickering emulsion system stabilized via hectorite. A bi-layered coacervate is generated by the interaction between Hectorite platelets and Cellulose fibrils in order to counter the instability of Pickering emulsions.

Since 2016, Sunjin has been developing and manufacturing Hectorite based cosmetic products. We will continue the research and sales of these ingredients as next-generation materials.

If you are interested, please refer to the article in the link below.

Island Ban Update 2021

By Kim, Sanguk
April 2021, NO.11

Hi, How are you?

We would like to share an update on Island Ban which went into effect in 2021.

Hawaii banned the sale of over-the-counter sunscreens containing Oxybenzone and Octinoxate in order to protect Hawaii’s marine environment from January 1^st, 2021.

Under the law, it is still allowed to bring sunscreens with the banned chemicals into the state, but many in survey expressed they would prefer to buy ones deemed safe for the reef in Hawaii.

The alternatives are mineral-based sunscreens containing Zinc Oxide and Titanium dioxide, which have been recognized by the U.S. FDA as Generally Recognized As Safe and Effective(GRASE).

A gift shop in Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve in Hawaii had stopped selling sunscreens with the prohibited two chemicals and was selling mineral-based sunscreens.

More details can be found in the link below.

What is NDC?

By Kim, Sanguk
March 2021, NO.5

Hi, How are you?

Have you heard of NDC? NDC stands for National Drug Code. It is a unique product identifier used in the U.S. for drugs.

Sunscreens are OTC drugs which are sold directly to a consumer without a prescription. UV filters in sunscreens are considered as active pharmaceutical ingredients(API) and they are strictly managed by the FDA.

 Therefore, the NDC code is required to sell UV filters in the U.S. market.

SUNJIN provides various NDC registered UV filters. More details can be found in the following links. Please visit the sites if you are interested.

GRASE rule proposed by FDA

By Kim, Sanguk
February 2021, NO.3

Hi, How are you?

Have you heard about GRASE rule? GRASE is abbreviation of Generally Recognized As Safe and Effective(GRASE).

As sunscreen is classified as an over-the-counter (OTC) drug in the US, FDA identified sunscreens as shown in the table below.

So far, Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide are the only sunscreen ingredients that the FDA deemed GRASE. Most of the other ingredients were withheld to be determined GRASE and additional safety data were required.

This rule is expected to accelerate Chemical Sunscreen Free trend.

 More details can be found in the following link. Please visit the site if you are interested.
