This sunscreen lotion formulation is designed to provide U.S. broad spectrum (critical wavelength ≥ 370 nm), label SPF 50 performance. SolaStay® S1 contributes to photoprotection through stabilization of this Titanium Dioxide-based formulation by mitigating the photocatalytic and reactive oxygen species generating activities of the oxide to improve sunscreen performance. Olivem® 1000, the first PEG-free self-emulsifying biomimetic multifunction ingredient, and botanically-based HallStar® GMS Pure provide the basis for a stable emulsion. HallBrite® BHB, Sensolene® and Biochemica® Matcha Green Tea butter are included to enhance spreadability and contribute to elegant emollience. This formulation was subjected to in vitro analysis and delivered SPF ~54, PFA (PPD) ~7 broad spectrum performance with critical wavelength 374 nm.

2 | Heat phase AB to 80°C and then add phase C ingredients individually with mixing. |
3 | To the main vessel add Water of phase D, start mixing, add Disodium EDTA, then add Xanthan Gum and heat this phase to 75°C. |
4 | When both phases are homogeneous and at their designated temperatures, slowly add phase oil ABC to water phase D with prop mixing. |
5 | Homogenize combined for 3 minutes and resume prop mixing. |
6 | Start cooling and when batch is below 50°C add, with mixing, premix of phase E and then phase F, mixing well. |
7 | Replace any water lost to evaporation and mix batch until smooth and at desired filling temperature. |
