Several years ago, HallStar (Booth 213) set the sun care world on fire when it preached the importance of stabilizing avobenzone. Since then, the company has rolled out an array of photostabilizers to help sun care formulators create truly effective products.
Now, the company is determined to improve the efficacy of other active materials. Polycrylene S1, which HallStar calls "the next generation of Polycrylene," enables formulators to combine active ingredients once considered too photo-unstable, such as vitamin A and its derivatives, to be effective.
Another new material, Eurol BT, is an active ingredient for cosmetic and cosmeceutical applications that is a 100% natural aqueous extract derived from Olea Europaea (Olive) tree leaves. Eurol BT has free radical scavenging action, according to HallStar, which notes that when an olive leaf becomes detached from the tree it will remain green for a long period revealing the presence of a highly potent and protective antioxidant activity. Eurol BT is also available in 100% organic variant.
Finally, Sensolene Care DD (Lauryl olivate) is described as a highly functional ingredient with protective effect and excellent spreading properties. The Ecocert-validated material has unique sensorial features due its low melting point, which is near skin temperature.
