A good <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ulprospector.com\/en\/na\/PersonalCare\/search?k=spf+booster&amp;st=31\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SPF booster<\/a> can significantly increase this SPF efficiency depending on the base formulation and types of sunscreens used. SPF boosters are ingredients that can significantly increase in vivo SPF but don\u2019t alone contribute meaningfully to SPF.<\/p>\n<p>Many SPF boosters can also significantly improve the wash\/wear resistance of formulations and reduce sunscreen skin penetration. The normal use level in formulations is 1-3% on an active basis and most work primarily by increasing UV absorption by maintaining the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ulprospector.com\/en\/na\/PersonalCare\/search?k=sunscreen&amp;st=31\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sunscreen<\/a> film thickness on skin over time. Other mechanisms include increasing UV scattering ability of sunscreens, increasing the UVA coverage by extending the critical wavelength, improving the UV stability of sunscreens and reducing skin erythema.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Looking for materials for your sunscreen product?<\/h3>\n<p>Prospector lists\u00a0thousands of personal care and cosmetics materials with technical data and sample request options.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ulprospector.com\/en\/na\/PersonalCare\/Product?st=31\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\nGet Material Data<br \/>\n<\/a><\/h3>\n<hr \/>\n<p>The various types of SPF boosters include oil soluble and hydrophilic polymer solutions\/dispersions\/powders (polyurethanes or polyacrylates), emollients, waxes, and anti-inflammatory agents. Oil soluble and hydrophilic polymers function mainly by film formation causing an increase in UV absorption by maintaining a thicker sunscreen film on skin over time. Polymeric and non-polymeric waxes can also form solid sunscreen-containing particles in oil-in-water emulsions that can increase UV absorption and scatter. Emollients are mainly used to help dissolve crystalline sunscreen like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ulprospector.com\/en\/na\/PersonalCare\/search?k=avobenzone&amp;st=31\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Avobenzone<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ulprospector.com\/en\/na\/PersonalCare\/search?k=Benzophenone-3&amp;st=31\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Benzophenone 3<\/a>, extend UVA coverage by increasing the critical wavelength, and improve Avobenzone photostability.<\/p>\n<h3>Formulation Strategies<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Combine SPF boosters that work by different mechanisms.\n<ul>\n<li>Hydrophilic polymers combined with oil soluble polymers.<\/li>\n<li>Emollients combined with oil soluble or hydrophilic polymers.<\/li>\n<li>UV scattering agents combined with oil soluble or hydrophilic polymers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Use multifunctional technologies that can provide additional benefits.\n<ul>\n<li>Emollients can boost SPF, can solubilize, and photo stabilize Avobenzone.<\/li>\n<li>Many polymers can also improve the wear or wash resistance of formulations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Develop efficient systems that work at &lt;2% solids in order to maintain good skin feel (emollients may be needed at a higher concentration if used to solubilize Avobenzone)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Recommended Oil-Soluble Polymers<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Antaron\/<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ulprospector.com\/en\/na\/PersonalCare\/Detail\/305\/8083\/Ganex-V-220F?st=31&amp;sl=36450037&amp;crit=R2FuZXjCrg%3d%3d&amp;ss=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ganex V220F<\/a> (VP Eicosene Copolymer) by Ashland &#8211; A key benchmark.<\/li>\n<li>Antaron\/Ganex WP 660 (Tricontanyl\/PVP) by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ulprospector.com\/en\/na\/PersonalCare\/Suppliers\/305\/Ashland-Inc\/search?sug=1&amp;st=31\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ashland<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ulprospector.com\/en\/na\/PersonalCare\/Detail\/134\/523277\/OleoCraft-HP-31?st=31\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">OleoCraft HP-31<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ulprospector.com\/en\/na\/PersonalCare\/Detail\/134\/523274\/OleoCraft-MP-30?st=31\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">OleoCraft MP-30<\/a>, OleoCraft MP-31 (Polyamide 3) by Croda<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ulprospector.com\/en\/na\/PersonalCare\/Detail\/1500\/50818\/PERFORMALENE-400?st=31\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Performalene 400<\/a> (Polyethylene) by New Phase Technologies<\/li>\n<li>Performa V1608 (C30-38 Olefin Isopropyl Maleate\/MA Copolymer) by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ulprospector.com\/en\/na\/PersonalCare\/Suppliers\/1500\/New-Phase-Technologies\/Product\/search?sug=1&amp;st=31&amp;so=bs_1500&amp;sl=36450119\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New Phase Technologies<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ulprospector.com\/en\/na\/PersonalCare\/Detail\/134\/205745\/Syncrowax-ORM?st=31\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Syncrowax ORM <\/a>(Sorbitol\/Sebacic Acid Copolymer Behenate) by\u00a0Croda<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Recommended Hydrophilic Polymers<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ulprospector.com\/en\/na\/PersonalCare\/Detail\/2669\/36677\/SunSpheres-Powder?st=31\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SunSpheres<\/a> (Styrene\/Acrylates copolymer, 90% active powder) by\u00a0Dow Chemical is a 350 nm hollow particle that scatters UV.
