The HallStar Company debuted HallBrite PSF, a new, photostabilizing silicone fluid that photostabilizes the active ingredients in sunscreens while improving the feel and spreadability of sun care and daily wear products with sun protection factors, says the company.

HallBrite PSF (INCI: undecylcrylene dimethicone) combines HallStar’s proven, triplet-quenching photostabilizer technology with the aesthetic benefits of silicone. The resulting organo-modified silicone polymer provides a lubricious skin feel and photostabilizes sunscreen active ingredients such as avobenzone.

The patent-pending compound is a multifunctional ingredient that delivers the silky feel consumers want in a lotion or cream with the photostabilization needed to provide long-lasting and effective UVA and UVB sun protection.

As an added benefit, HallBrite PSF may also aid in the dispersion of metal oxides such as titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, and iron oxide in both sun care and color makeup applications.
