The Synergy of Ingredients: How Polysilicone-15 Enhances Sunscreen Performance
Achieving optimal sun protection requires more than just a single ingredient; it often depends on the synergistic interplay between multiple components. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. emphasizes the crucial role of Polysilicone-15 in this context, particularly its ability to enhance the performance of other UV filters, most notably Avobenzone. While Polysilicone-15 is an effective UVB absorber on its own, its true power in advanced sunscreen formulations often lies in its stabilizing capabilities.
Avobenzone is a highly effective UVA filter, essential for providing protection against longer UVA rays that contribute to skin aging. However, Avobenzone can be photolabile, meaning it degrades when exposed to UV light, reducing its protective efficacy over time. This is where Polysilicone-15 steps in. Its polymeric structure and chemical properties allow it to act as a photostabilizer for Avobenzone, helping to maintain its integrity and extend its protective lifespan within a sunscreen formulation. This collaboration is vital for creating broad-spectrum sunscreens that offer reliable protection across the entire UV spectrum.
The combination of Polysilicone-15 with other UV filters not only enhances stability but also contributes to achieving higher SPF values. This means less of each ingredient might be needed to reach the desired protection level, potentially leading to lighter formulations with better sensory profiles. Formulators looking to buy Polysilicone-15 for their sunscreen products are investing in an ingredient that actively contributes to the overall effectiveness and longevity of the UV protection system. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. provides access to this innovative ingredient, empowering brands to develop superior sun care products that offer enhanced stability, broader protection, and a more pleasant application experience.
