Ingredients for Sensorial Sun Care Products
Gattefossé has developed texture ingredients that respond to the major issues encountered in the formulation of suncare products performance, stability and sensoriality.
-
Emulium® Illustro, a W/O emulsifier, has proven its compatibility with organic and mineral UV filters and creates stable formulations with a comfortable feel.
-
Emulium® Dolcea MB, an O/W emulsifier, creates stable textures with an ultra-soft and non-tacky afterfeel.
-
Emulium® Mellifera MB is another O/W emulsifier that makes it possible to formulate sun care products with a light and non-greasy finish.
Acticire® MB is an active texturizing agent that improves sensoriality of sun care products by reducing the greasy and tacky afterfeel. It also improves durability of the protective film on the skin, as observed with the UV camera.
The sensoriality of sunscreens is a major concern and a challenge for formulators. Addition of UV filters to cosmetics brings greasiness and stickiness that are difficult to hide and unpleasant to the consumer.
The sensory evaluation of its products and formulas is at the heart of Gattefossé’s concerns, based on its expertise in textures developed over 25 years ago. Gattefossé reaffirms its expertise in sun care by offering a collection of sun care formulas combining effective UV protection and comfort of application to meet the needs of consumers:
-
Unexpected combinations and innovative textures
-
Optimization of sensoriality
-
Understanding of world regions specificities (regulation, needs, climates…)
-
Testing of sunscreens in real-use conditions
-
Use of a UV camera to visualize sunscreens once applied on the skin and how it evolves over time

8 Sun Care Formulas for All Situations and Needs
Gattefossé’s application lab has been working on 8 new formulations, with very different sensory profiles and containing organic UV filters, mineral or a combination of both, to meet all expectations in terms of photo-protection.

2177-7.03 Mineral Shield SPF50: Sensitive and sun-intolerant skin deserves effective and sensorial UV protection too! Formulated with Emulium® Illustro, this sunscreen is neither sticky nor greasy on the skin. It is easy to apply and gives the skin a sunshine glow thanks to Gatuline® Radiance.
