The researchers have combined conventional sunscreen products with the increasing sustainability requirements of consumers. With this new development, Symrise receives recognition with the first prize at the BSB Innovation Awards 2020 in the "Functionals" category. This year, the award was presented virtually.

SymEffect™ Sun takes a decisive step toward more sustainability and naturalness in sun protection cosmetics. The ingredient is based entirely on renewable raw materials from responsible sources,” said Lars Jung, senior global product manager functionals at Symrise.
