Symrise has introduced Neo Heliopan Fusion, a 4-in-1 UV filter blend developed to meet the demand for high-performance sun protection in cosmetics. This patent-pending ingredient combines three modern crystalline UV filters solubilized in a liquid UV filter, resulting in a viscous liquid for easier formulation.
Key Benefits and Properties
Neo Heliopan Fusion (INCI: Not Provided) allows for the creation of sunscreen solutions with customizable SPF levels, achieving up to SPF 50+ at a 30% use level.
According to the company, it provides:
- Reliable broad-spectrum UVA protection,
- A light and pleasant skin feel,
- Ease of formulation, thanks to its oil-soluble, water-free format,
- Inventory optimization, reducing the need for auxiliary ingredients like solubilizers,
- Energy reduction, supporting sustainable development practices,
- The ability to quickly respond to regulatory requirements and market trends, and
- Cold-process capabilities, integrating into the oil phase with simple stirring.
Application Versatility and Simplicity
The composition is said to form a stable, homogeneous solution that is suitable for a wide range of applications, including creams, lotions, sprays and sticks.
It can also be incorporated into color cosmetics like BB/CC creams and foundations, and daily skin care products such as anti-aging creams and moisturizers that require added SPF.
"We set out with a clear objective: to create a powerful UV filter blend that delivers simplicity and aligns with today’s standards — without compromise," stated Julio Bombonati, global category director of sun protection at Symrise Cosmetic Ingredients.
