Sun care is increasingly popular in Indonesia, with local brands tapping into the growing market by launching their own sun care lines. As the market evolves, many sun care players are introducing multifunctional products that cater to urban needs, offering benefits such as protection against pollution and blue light. Additionally, sun care products are being developed with textures that align with market preferences, including non-greasy, easy-to-spread, and lightweight formulas.

However, despite the light and fresh feel of these products, how can we ensure that they offer optimum protection against the harmful effects of UV rays? BASF has the ideal solution with its high-performing UV filters, providing effective protection while maintaining a lightweight and refreshing sensory experience. Introducing Tinosorb® S Lite Aqua, Tinosorb® M, Tinosorb® A2B, and Uvinul® A Plus.

Tinosorb® S Lite Aqua: The Light Way to Protect Your Skin

Tinosorb® S Lite Aqua features a patented encapsulation technology, which enhances its ability to provide broad-spectrum UV protection in the water phase. This makes it easy to incorporate into various formulations. The system ensures a homogenous film formation on the skin, improving performance and offering water resistance. It’s the perfect choice for creating versatile sun care products with optimal UV protection and a light feel.

Tinosorb® M: Broad-Spectrum Particulate UV Filter for the Water Phase

Combining the benefits of both organic and inorganic UV filters, Tinosorb® M offers a triple-action mechanism: absorption, reflection, and scattering. This UV filter works synergistically with oil-soluble UV filters and is highly photostable. Additionally, Tinosorb® M provides broad-spectrum protection, including safeguarding against harmful blue light.

Tinosorb® A2B: The Most Efficient UVB/UVA2 Filter for Environmentally Enhanced Systems

Tinosorb® A2B delivers balanced protection in the water phase while working in tandem with oil-phase UV filters. Its particulate form enhances the scattering and reflection of UV light, optimizing the performance of UV filters in sunscreens. This filter not only boosts protection but also contributes to environmental friendliness, offering excellent UVB/UVA2 protection.

Uvinul® A Plus: The Photostable UV Filter

Uvinul® A Plus is an oil-soluble UVA filter known for its exceptional photostability and strong protection against UVA rays and free radicals. It offers formulation flexibility with superior solubility, making it an ideal choice for creating high-performance sun care products.
