Sun protection factor booster

Applications: Sunscreen, Personal Care, Sun Care, Cosmetics

Oxford scientists have synthesised specifically sized 2D inorganic platelets which effectively boost UV scattering in
sunscreen and cosmetic formulations.

Features	Benefits
2D Layered Double Hydroxide platelets	Demonstrated synthetic route Allows selective growth of 2D platelet size
Platelet size influences UV scattering properties	Platelets demonstrate UV scattering properties as an alternative to UV absorbing UV scattering effect can be tuned by the size of the 2D platelet
New materials for SPF	Comparable to commercially available emulsions or polymer bio-beads Cost effective alternative material Efficient at very low loadings
Synergistic effect with commercially available UV absorbers	Increases the effectiveness of existing sun block and cosmetic active agents Potential to reduce the UV absorbing components in sun block and cosmetics formulations for more environmentally friendly and safe offering to the public
