BB Cream with SPF 30 Sun Protection

This BB cream formulation was designed to provide superior broad spectrum (SPF/PFA <3), label SPF 30 performance. SolaStay® S1 provides very rapid and efficient excited state quenching of Avobenzone and also mitigates the photocatalytic and reactive oxygen species generating activities of the oxide to improve sunscreen performance. HallBrite® BHB and HallTress® DIBA Special contribute to UV filter solubility and enhance product feel. This formulation was subjected to in vitro analysis and delivered SPF ~35 , PFA (PPD) ~25 performance with critical wavelength 382 nm.

1In secondary vessel combine phase A, start mixing and add phase B into phase A, and when uniform add phase C to phase AB.
2Heat this oil phase to 80°C and then add phase D to phase ABC.
3When phase ABCD is homogeneous, add phase E to phase ABCD and mix until phase E is well dispersed.
4To the main vessel add the Water of phase F, start mixing, add the Disodium EDTA, then add Xanthan Gum, stirring until fully incorporated.
5Start heating to 75°C . When both phases are homogeneous and at their designated temperatures, slowly add phase ABCDE to phase F with prop mixing. Homogenize for 3 mins.
6Start cooling with center stir mixing. When below 50°C add premix of phase G and phase H into phase ABCDEF continue mixing.
7Replace any water lost to evaporation, and mix until smooth.
