Tinosorb S Lite Aqua - Sunscreen against UVA/UVB rays

Nowadays, more and more people are aware of the need for sun protection. This leads to an increased demand for high quality products with excellent sensory properties. We recommend that you pay attention to the universal UV filter Tinosorb, which has high sun protection properties against two types of radiation, is easily soluble in both water and oil phases, is skin tolerant and does not make the skin greasy.

Component Properties and Usage

INCI: Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine (and) Acrylates/C 12-22 Alkyl Methacrylate Copolymer

Dosage: 2-10%

Solubility: in water and oil

Use: The manufacturer recommends adding to the aqueous phase at any stage of production: 

in the aqueous phase before emulsification when heated to 75 C
in the finished emulsion at temperatures up to 75 C
into the emulsion when cooled to 30 C.
Whatever the method of introduction, the Tinosorb UV filter maintains its stability and homogeneity.

Application peculiarities: take into account the high pH of the component solution (from 8.0 to 11.0), so adjust the acidity of the finished product, lowering it at the end of the preparation.

Storage: in a dry, dark place in a tightly closed package. Protect from high humidity.

Use of the UV ingredient Tinosorb Aqua in cosmetics

Modern consumers expect a lot from sunscreen cosmetics: reliable protection against UV radiation as well as excellent sensory properties in the form of a light, gentle cream or gel that does not leave a greasy film on the skin. To solve this problem, the German company BASF has improved its range of sunscreens and launched the new Tinosorb S Lite Aqua. Its special feature is its patented water encapsulation technology, which separates the UV filter into oil and water phases, increasing sun protection and improving the flexibility of the finished product formulation.

The new generation Tinosorb C Light Aqua filter eliminates a large amount of oil phase from the formulation, while the copolymer in the formulation is ideal for low viscosity formulations and provides broad spectrum absorption of the water phase. In addition, the composition of the active is water resistant and extremely easy to process, allowing it to be used in both "cold" and "hot" cosmetic formulations.

How to calculate the SPF protection level with Tinosorb asset

Relationship between % Tinosorb S lite aqua and protection level

• 1% = SPF 2.7 / UVA/PF 2.6 / UVA/UVB ratio 0.87 / critical wavelength (nm) 379
• 5% = SPF 9.8 / UVA/PF 9.0 / UVA/UVB Ratio 0.89 / Critical Wavelength (nm) 379
• 10% = SPF 20.1 / UVA/PF 17.9 / UVA/UVB Ratio 0.91 / Critical Wavelength (nm) 379

When Tinosorb and Z-cote are combined, the following protection levels can be achieved

• 1% Tinosorb + 1% Z-cote = SPF 3.1 / UVA/PF 3.1 / UVA/UVB ratio 0.98 / critical wavelength (nm) 380
• 5% Tinosorb + 5% Z-cote = SPF 12.8 / UVA/PF 11.9 / UVA/UVB Ratio 0.93 / Critical Wavelength (nm) 380
• 10% Tinosorb + 10% Z-cote = SPF 26.3 / UVA/PF 23.5 / UVA/UVB Ratio 0.92 / Critical Wavelength (nm) 380
