DSM Nutritional Products reported new scientific data on skin penetration
behavior of Parsol SLX, the first polymeric sunscreen approved for skin protection, at the European Dermatology and Venerology Congress (EADV) 2010 in Gothenburg.

In the scientific study, the behavior of radio-labeled material of Parsol SLX has been investigated in a standard design in an in vitro skin penetration study with donated human skin samples exposed over a 24-hour period to a sunscreen product containing 10% Parsol SLX.

The result demonstrates that more than 99.5% of the applied amount of Parsol SLX can be retrieved after a 24-hour exposure period from the skin surface and the stratum corneum.

This result supports the concept that polymeric sunscreen actives can bedesigned and, consistent with other polymeric substances, will show a very low, if any, skin penetration rate.

According to the company, Parsol SLX’s overall good safety profile combined with the argument of the very low orno skin penetration rate allows sunscreen manufacturers to design sunscreen products for sensitive skin, including products for babies and children with a favorable skin feel.
