DSM has launched Parsol EHT, an eco-friendly UVB filter. The company says that this has an E1/1 peak of over 1,500 in the UVB range, meaning that it “delivers the highest absorption in the market today”. It is compatible with other organic and inorganic UV filters, photostable and inert
Parsol EHT scores high for both UVB absorbance and eco-friendliness, the latter being evaluated based on the persistence, bioaccumulation and toxicity data in DSM’s Sunscreen Optimizer tool. It is also easy to formulate, photostable and compatible with top market UVA solutions, making it suitable for a full range of applications, the company said.
DSM’s formulators have designed the Featherlight Cream SPF 50 guide formulation to illustrate the potential of Parson EHT. “Combining fast absorption and a silky touch with high protection into the blue light range, this formulation also comes with an eco-class A rating,” the firm stated.
