The Germany-based manufacturer completes its range of sun protection solutions with Neo Heliopan 310, a new organic crystalline UVB filter that offers superior absorption capacity, excellent solubility and high compatibility in a wide range of personal care and beauty formulations.
The latest addition to Symrise’s UV filter portfolio is an organic UV filter with superior absorption capacity. Dubbed Neo Heliopan 310 [1] it reaches an absorption peak of 310 nm due to its three chromophore groups.
High protection and flexible use
According to Symrise, it is also one of the most photostable UVB filters on the market and thus offers a very good safety profile and provides photoaging prevention properties.
As far as formulation is concerned, Neo Heliopan 310 has an excellent solubilization profile. The substance is highly compatible with other cosmetic ingredients. It thus helps customers achieve high sun protection factors (SPFs) in a wide range of applications, including sunscreen, anti-aging, and anti-wrinkle products, serums, and lotions.
Its reliable performance and its excellent solubility make it ideal for water-resistant sunscreens and water-free formulations as well as typical emulsions.
Last but not least, Symrise’s Neo Heliopan 310 is approved for use at up to 10% in sun care and skin care products in the European Union, Mercosur, ASEAN, and China.
