Powerhouse Protector Sunscreen SPF 40

Formula Number: JZ16-270C

Request a physical prototype of this formulation

This Powerhouse Protector sunscreen demonstrates the powerful synergistic impact that the SolaStay® S1 photostabilizer can have, even with photostable UV filters. While it does not contribute significant SPF and PFA on its own, SolaStay® S1 increases the photochemical efficiency of the high molecular weight organic UV filters to enable SPF 40 UV protection. Hallstar solvents, led by the powerful Spectrasolv® DMDA, also enable simple and effective solubilization of these challenging solid organic UV filters. In vivo testing in a US laboratory (3 subjects) yielded static SPF 40.25, and in vitro analysis suggests SPF ~ 37, PFA (PPD COLIPA2011) ~14, and critical wavelength of 375 nm.
