Engaging in activities under the scorching sun can’t be avoided. In the morning, sunlight is generally beneficial, making it an ideal time for exercise, particularly around 10 AM. This is important for obtaining vitamin D. However, midday, especially around noon, is not the best time to be active under the sun’s intense rays.

According to a journal titled ‘Assessment of Solar Ultraviolet Radiation in Tabriz City, Iran’, published in the International Journal of Radiation Research, the highest levels of UVA and UVB radiation reaching the Earth occur between 12 and 1 PM. Excessive UV exposure can increase the risk of skin cancer, premature aging, and other conditions. One solution to staying safe while active in the sun is using sunscreen.

According to the National Cancer Institute, sunscreen is a substance that helps protect the skin from the sun’s harmful rays. Sunscreens reflect, absorb, and scatter both ultraviolet A and B radiation, protecting from both types. Using lotions, creams, or gels containing sunscreen can help prevent premature skin aging and damage that could lead to skin cancer.

It turns out that sunscreen can be even more effective when combined with SunSpheres™ Powder. SunSpheres™ Powder is a white, flowable powder (90% active) that significantly boosts SPF across the entire UV spectrum in various applications, from sunscreens to cosmetics. It works well with both inorganic and organic UV filters, enhancing the feel of the product.

SunSpheres™ Powder, as supplied, is in the form of agglomerates, which must be broken down in the final formulation to liberate the primary SunSpheres™ SPF Booster particles. A high-shear process, such as homogenization, is recommended to break down the agglomerates.

SunSpheres™ Powder is best incorporated in the aqueous or oil phases before forming the emulsion. Formulations with SunSpheres™ Powder should include homogenization during processing and the addition of heat. Heating to 50°C facilitates processing.

SunSpheres™ Powder is easy to formulate, and widely compatible, with both organic and inorganic UV actives, including in water-resistant formulations, and commonly used ingredients in a wide range of sun care products (O/W, W/O, W/Si, low viscosity pumps, creams and lotions, stick formulations).

The application of SunSpheres™ Powder SPF boosters can be used in a wide range of sun care and daily wear SPF products containing UV active ingredients: Organic and inorganic UVA and UVB actives,  Oil-in-water, water-in-oil and water-in-silicone systems,   Cold- and hot-processable systems, Low viscosity spray systems,  Cream and lotion formulations, Stick formulations, lip balms, Makeup (foundation, BB creams, etc.)

The features and benefits uses SunSpheres™ Powder SPF boosters are allow a reduced amount of UV filters in formulation, are Excellent for aesthetically pleasing formulations, Boost protection across the UVA/UVB spectrum, Potentially reduction in irritation caused by actives, Useful for a wide variety of cosmetic products using either inorganic or organic UV filters, Excellent for water-resistant formulations, Non-irritating, non-toxic, non-photosensitizing.
