Croda is launching a new waterbased variant of its Solaveil SpeXtra range of titanium dioxide (TiO2) dispersions. Like other products in the range, Solaveil XT-40W offers 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.
