Perfect DD Cream SPF 20

Croda Inc
This Daily Defence Cream, or DD Cream, protects against harmful light wavelengths whilst also offering a uniform tint on the skin. This is achieved through the inclusion of Solaveil™ XT40W which provides protection against UVA, UVB and High-Energy Visible light damage as well as protection against the free radicals generated. By combining this with Venuceane™, which protects against cellular damage by InfraRed and free radicals, you can achieve broad spectrum protection from the sun and its photo-ageing effects.

Preparation:

Disperse the Veegum Ultra and Keltrol CG SFT in Pricerine 9091 and add water with stirring. Once fully hydrated add the Solaveil™ XT-40W with stirring. Combine the Phase A ingredients with stirring. Pre-blend Phase C with a pestle and mortar and add to Phase A with stirring until homogenous. Homogenise the oil phase for three minutes to disperse the pigments fully. Add Phase A to Phase B with stirring until homogenous. Homogenise for a further three minutes. Adjust the pH with lactic acid to below 4.5 whilst stirring and add the preservative Euxyl K172. Add the Venuceane and mix until homogenous.
