Azelis Wins PCHi Award

CHINA: Azelis has won the 2019 Fountain Award for Personal Care and Cosmetics Innovation at the PCHi exhibition in Guanzhou, China for the third year in a row. It was bestowed with the honor for Tagra SunCaps UV filters.

SunCaps are unbreakable and transparent microcapsules made of a single layer cellulose-based polymer shell which provides optimal isolation of the UV filter and prevents its degradation while improving its UV protection profile.

By using SunCaps microcapsules, the Azelis Personal Care team in China developed unique stable sunscreen formulations showing a broad protection range and improved safety profile.

“Like last year, we have made a careful selection of the most innovative raw materials to enter the competition. It has again proven to be a challenging exercise as there are so many impressive raw material resources in the cosmetic market to choose from. It’s a matter of understanding the needs of the cosmetic market, customer trends and the product performance of the raw materials. We are thrilled to see that Tagra’s SunCaps UV filters have been hnored by the PCHi judges and we are proud of our lab experts who developed the innovative formulation based on this cutting-edge ingredient. We will continue to excite the market through further development of new ideas and innovation, continually strengthening our offering to customers,” said Jane Zhang, head of personal care in China.
