Water-proofing excipients for sunscreen formulations
2008-05-01
LexFilm® Sun has quickly become a 'gold standard' for its ability to provide both excellent water-proofing as well as UV filter solubilization. It enables formulators to dramatically improve aesthetics without sacrificing performance. It is the only excipient needed in the oil phase of most sun care formulations.
LexFilm® Spray is a waterproof film-forming system for hydro-alcoholic spray sunscreens. It allows for total retention of UV absorbers on the skin. Unlike other polymers that are solids or powders, LexFilm® Spray is a pourable liquid that is readily soluble in water/alcohol phases, and offers tremendous ease-of-use in formulation and production.
