In recent years, ultraviolet-induced skin damage has become one of the top concerns for people. That is why the market demand for high-performing sunscreen products has been non-stop. Both established world and local brands compete to put out their best products on the market to answer the demand.
Get to Know the Trend: Photostable UV Filters
The thing consumers should pay attention to is the photostability of sunscreen UV filters. It means the product should be resistant to change under the influence of UV radiation. Photostability is a key performance indicator of a sun protection product.
When a sunscreen UV filter is photostable, the product will have no change in performance during application and minimize the generation of any side products, including free radicals during irradiation. Meanwhile, photolabile UV filters will provide lower protection and give negative impacts on the formulation stability.
