Revolutionize your formulations with Apalight and physical filter dispersions
In the realm of sun care, innovation focuses on creating products that are increasingly effective, sensory-friendly, and safe for the skin. Apalight by Kalichem emerges as a groundbreaking ingredient offering a natural and sustainable alternative to minimize the use of chemical filters without compromising product efficacy. Based on functionalized hydroxyapatite particles, Apalight acts as a natural booster, providing a mineral barrier that effectively protects against UV rays without causing irritation or leaving a white cast.
Apalight’s benefits extend beyond protection: its biofunctional mineral base makes it a skin- and environmentally-friendly choice, meeting the growing demand for formulations balancing efficacy and sustainability. This mineral booster not only enhances UV defense but also improves texture and stability in sun care formulas, making it ideal for broad-spectrum products targeted at consumers with sensitive skin.
In addition to Apalight, the portfolio includes silicone dispersions with titanium dioxide (TiO2) and zinc oxide (ZnO), essential for improving the sensory experience of formulas. By incorporating TiO2 and ZnO into dispersions, these products achieve smooth and even application, eliminating the white effect typical of mineral filters. These dispersions offer a transparent, easy-to-apply finish without residue, making them perfect for a lightweight and comfortable user experience.
Combining Apalight with TiO2 and ZnO dispersions enables the creation of sun care products that not only protect but also deliver silky textures, water resistance, and a pleasant tactile finish.
For advanced formulations, stabilizers from Vanderbilt, such as Veegum and Vanatural, complement Apalight and silicone dispersions by providing stability at high temperatures. These stabilizers ensure formulas remain intact throughout their shelf life, enhancing product efficacy and simplifying formulation processes. This enables cosmetic manufacturers to develop durable, consistent sun care products that meet the highest standards.
