The Dow Chemical Company introduced ZinClear IM products to the North American and Latin American markets during NYSCC Suppliers' Day. ZinClear IM zinc oxide products enable formulators to create transparent sunscreen formulas with high (up to 40%) zinc oxide loads.
According to Denise Elias-Costrini, global marketing manager for personal care at Dow Chemical, the release of the FDA's final monograph on sunscreens has created a high interest among formulators to maximize UVA protection.
"Zinc oxide is stable, safe and well established," noted Ms. Elias-Costrini. "ZinClear enables formulators to use high levels of zinc oxide, yet still retain good aesthetics."
Also during NYSCC Suppliers' Day, Amerchol, a business unit of Dow Chemical, highlighted the benefits of its SatinFX delivery system, which is billed as a versatile, easy-to-use technology that enables both hydrophobic and hydrophilic actives to be encapsulated in a variety of skin care products. In addition, it enables the encapsulation of incompatible ingredients, such as dihydroxyacetone and amino acids, to create sunless taning products with anti-aging benefits. SatinFX also improves the stability of sensitive actives such as vitamin C in skin care formulas.
