The trend of sunscreen cosmetics

Experts believe that the development of sunscreen cosmetics will show the following trend of increased sunscreen factor sunscreen products. Products with a sun protection factor greater than 15 or even 2O will increase significantly, which is related to the continued destruction of the ozone layer and the desire for better protection. But the higher the sun protection factor means the greater the concentration of sunscreen added, the greater the possibility of skin allergies, and the sun protection factor should be better than 2O.

Ultraviolet radiation causes free radicals in the skin and accelerates aging. In order to solve this problem, in addition to increasing the ability of the product to prevent ultraviolet radiation, some free radical scavengers such as vitamin E can be used in the formulation, because it is very difficult to block the product from blocking 100% of ultraviolet rays. Studies have found that the addition of vitamin E, vitamin C and its derivatives, p-carotene and other active ingredients in the sunscreen formula can increase the UV protection of the product and effectively prevent aging.

Adding sunscreen products with natural sunscreen ingredients will reduce the amount of sunscreen and improve product performance, and formulators are looking for some natural sunscreen ingredients to add to the formula. It has been reported that the former pigment alcohol extracted from a green plant in Argentina is added to the sunscreen to form a liposome, which can significantly reduce the damage of the skin caused by ultraviolet rays and inhibit the appearance of signs of aging.

Because consumers' skin conditions (including skin color), use environment, and purpose of use are different, targeted products can meet the deep needs of people. Sensitive skin requires both high safety and high-efficiency all-round protection. There are also sunscreen products that are designed for outdoor swimming that require high water resistance. In addition, special sunscreen products for skiing, tourism, military training and other occasions also have greater market development prospects.
