In addition to UVA, UVB and infrared, the blue light is now viewed as new inflammation factor from which the skin needs to be protected. Many ingredients suppliers have already included these concerns in their formulations, so where can we expect this new market to go?
Anne Jansen, Scientist Application Suncare at DSM Nutritional Products Ltd will hold a session on Taking protection into the blue at the Formulation Lab on Wednesday 5 April from 11.15 to 12.15 at in-cosmetics Global in London.
One of the latest upcoming trends in the cosmetic industry is around the term blue light. Blue light is defined as the range from 400nm to 500nm, covering the high-energy visible light up to the wavelength emitted by electronics such as TVs, computers, tablets and smartphones.
While the scientific value of a blue light protection claim might still be the subject of controversial discussion, the market is already pushing for further improved protection and claim substantiation. DSM Personal Care will reveal new and innovative concepts that leverage its Bright Science in UV-filters, skincare actives and vitamins. During the DSM Formulation Lab session, we will show how to overcome formulation challenges and demonstrate an outstanding sensory advance.
