This high concentration dispersion of hydrophobic treated ultrafine TiO2 in water has an environmentally friendly profile.
May 29, 2024
By: Melissa Meisel
The cosmetic industry’s “all natural” ingredients trend continues to grow.
Leading this natural trend is water − the most sustainable solvent chemists can use in cosmetics. Meeting this trend head-on, Shin-Etsu Silicones recently introduced its new SPD-WT1−a high concentration dispersion of hydrophobic treated ultrafine Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) in water.
SPD-WT1 touts sensorial benefits and SPF properties, in addition to its environmentally friendly profile by using water in lieu of organic or synthetic solvents−notably for sun care applications.
By utilizing SESE technology, SPD-WT1 provides high transparency and fluidity to formulations, per company officials. As a low viscosity dispersion, it is also easy to mix into water.
Key Features
SPD-WT1’s key features include aqueous dispersion of hydrophobic treated ultrafine TiO2 that can be added to the water phase; high-concentration TiO2 dispersion makes it easy to create high SPF products; achieves both water resistance and washability with soap; low viscosity and easy-to-use; and an ISO 16128 / Natural Origin Index of 76.5%.
It is ideally used in sun care products, and other skin care or color cosmetics that desire to claim sun protection.
“If you have a water-based formulation, you might assume it is not water resistant−but we have data showing that it is,” said SESE’s head of sales/cosmetics, Dr. Martin Kropfgans. “The data was the result of a test, where we applied each dispersion to synthetic leather and water resistance as well as washability were evaluated. As a conclusion, while being water resistant, it’s quite easily removable if you use soap−whereas other water-based formulations were not water resistant.”
