Formulate Reef-safe Sunscreen with Seppic!

March 12, 2020

Formulating sun care is challenging nowadays: we want to formulate stable products, with a nice skin feel, achieve a good SPF for skin protection but also be safe for people and for the environment. In this regard, organic filters are under the radar. Octinoxate & Oxybenzone have even been banned in some regions for their harmfulness against coral reefs.

Need solutions to face the main challenges of sun care formulations? We have the answers!

Discover our new Water-Resistant Inorganic Sunscreen prototype US20112, reef-safe. This white smooth cream protects against UVA and UVB, with in-vitro SPF30+.
