Sun Care Formulations

 
The global sun care market is expected to grow nearly 6% per year through 2011. Are your products positioned to meet increasingly multifaceted consumer needs?

Consider Intelimer temperature trigger technology. Our Intelimer 8600 emulsion polymer’s unique structure boosts SPF and improves water resistance to ensure continuity of sun protection. Its unique temperature trigger technology improves retention of actives, enabling a more environmentally friendly solution that utilizes lower chemical levels. Its properties can also improve rheology and tackiness in formulations.
