Beyond UV protection – blue light, infrared and pollution protection actives

As a result, the spectrum of light and the list of aggressors that consumers are seeking protection from with their personal care products is expanding. This presents challenges for today’s formulators who are also being tasked with balancing the need for multi-tasking formulations whilst also ensuring they are using minimal ingredients. At Croda, this challenge has driven the innovation of our multi-functional UV actives that go beyond the UV.
Taking your sun and skincare formulations beyond the UV
Croda’s Solaveil™, Infraveil™ and Optisol™ ranges of mineral filters go beyond the UV and deliver immediate skin protection from infrared radiation, HEV or blue light, and other environmental aggressors. Taking the approach that prevention is better than cure, these actives not only shield the skin from damage but also are safe, mild and non-irritating, making them ideal for sensitive skins and daily use.• Solaveil SpeXtra (Titanium Dioxide) and Solaveil MicNo (Zinc Oxide) are UV filters that also act as a physical shield from blue light and are available as both powders and dispersions in a range of carrier oils
• Infraveil is a range of Titanium Dioxide dispersions that provide immediate protection from IR-induced ageing
• Optisol, a unique Manganese doped Titanium Dioxide powder, has a triple action of quenching gaseous pollutants, free radical scavenging as well as UV protection
