Croda is launching a new water based variant to its Solaveil SpeXtra range of titanium dioxide (TiO2) dispersions. Like other products in the range, Solaveil XT-40W offers unprecedented broad spectrum UV protection.
This enables the formulator to make globally-approved, high SPF sunscreen products that conform to EU guidelines for UVA protection (UVAPF at least 1/3 of SPF), using this single active ingredient.
Solaveil XT-40W uses an aqueous base to deliver formulation flexibility and the freedom to formulate light and spreadable o/w emulsions. With TiO2 in the water phase of the emulsion Solaveil XT-40W is also an ideal partner for organic sunscreens. Its natural composition and ECOCERT validation ensures its credibility for use in ‘green’ formulations.
Solaveil XT-40W uses the novel Solaveil SpeXtra technology which won first place in ‘The Best New Technology Award’ category of the Cosmetics & Toiletries R&D Awards at in-cosmetics this year.
