Sunscreen SPF 50+ Lotion

This sunscreen lotion formulation is designed to provide U.S. broad spectrum (critical wavelength ≥ 370 nm), label SPF 50+ performance. SolaStay® S1 contributes to photoprotection through stabilization of this Titanium Dioxide-based formulation by mitigating the photocatalytic and reactive oxygen species generating activities of the oxide to improve sunscreen performance. HallBrite® BHB, Sensolene® and Biochemica® Matcha Green Tea butter are included to enhance spreadability and contribute to elegant emollience. In vitro analysis suggests SPF ~63, PFA (PPD) ~13 performance with critical wavelength 379 nm.

2Heat phase AB to 80°C and then add phase C ingredients with mixing. Add phase D right before combining with water phase and mix well.
3To the main vessel add the Water of phase E, start mixing, add the Disodium EDTA and then add the Xanthan Gum and heat this phase to 75°C.
4When both phases are homogeneous and at their designated temperatures, slowly add oil phase ABCD to water phase E with prop mixing.
5Homogenize combined phases for 3 minutes and resume prop mixing.
6Start cooling and when batch is below 50°C add premix of phase F and then phase G with continued mixing.
7Replace any water lost to evaporation and mix batch until smooth and at desired filling temperature.
