A healthy tan used to be considered a sign of prosperity and many would spend hours in the sun to obtain what was considered a youthful and attractive appearance. Now, most consumers are educated enough to know that there is a link between sun exposure and skin cancer. Limiting sun exposure may not only help prevent cancer, but also belie wrinkles, age spots and signs of premature aging. With this knowledge came a new tool—sunscreen!
Sunscreens have been formulated, produced and sold by the millions. Demand has grown for less greasy, easier to use, year-round solutions, and formulators have obliged by creating products that incorporate UV protection into moisturizers, makeup and more. Protection has been made simple and easy to use all year long.
If you formulate sun protection, tanning and sunless tanning products this book is a must-have addition to your library. You will find valuable information and answers to many troublesome formulation questions.
Sun care remains a very active area for new ingredients, improved product formulations and patent activity. Sun Science: Formulating for Protection provides information on formulating in the following areas:
- New ingredients
- Future innovations
- Efficacy
- Latest research
- Testing/claims
Expert Review
"Sunscreen products can be some of the most complicated to create from a formulation and regulatory standpoint. Cosmetic chemists are also being more frequently asked to add UV protection to a variety of products. This book provides a review of the latest technology and issues critical to sunscreen formulation. In Part I of this book you will find the best articles from Cosmetics & Toiletries magazine about formulating products to provide UV protection. You'll also get information about the latest ingredients and some cutting-edge technologies that will have an impact on future sunscreen products. In Part II, you will find the all-important regulatory information and methods for testing sunscreen products. This book is a must-have for any serious sunscreen formulator."
