First in the personal care industry, DSM reports that Parsol TX fully complies with all new specifications listed in the SCCS Opinions. Earlier this year, the Scientific Committee for Consumer Safety (SCCS) assessed the use of titanium dioxide in its nano form, and concluded that it is safe to use as a UV filter in cosmetic products for dermal application when it fulfills the characteristics specified by the SCCS.
According to the SCCS opinion, a purity of ≥99% in rutile form and a photocatalytic activity of less than 10% in nano form (compared to the corresponding non-coated or non-doped references) are among the main requirements that confirm the product's stability and safety.
Parsol TX is an aluminum free, inorganic UV filter made of 100% pure rutile form. Due to its unique, very tight, double-coating, it has an excellent photo-stability and an outstanding compatibility with other UV-filters such as avobenzone, and also with acrylate thickeners as well as other challenging ingredients such as ascorbyl palmitate and the self-tanner, dihydroxyacetone, said the company. Some of its distinct compatibility features are outlined in DSM patents.
Aline Hueber, global marketing manager, sun care at DSM, comments: "We are excited about this positive development for nano grades of titanium dioxide. We are pleased to see that its tangible benefits over conventional titanium dioxide, for both consumers and customers, are confirmed by the growth of the product over recent years. The highest quality of Parsol TX is a perfect example of our commitment and focus on delivering safe, effective and pleasant products to the market that truly serve the needs of consumers."
