BASF Upgrades Sunscreen Simulator With Additional Features
Read MoreHide Full Article
BASF SE (BASFY - Free Report) has enhanced its Sunscreen Simulator, a digital platform designed for the development and optimization of sun care formulations. The updated version will be officially unveiled at this year’s in-cosmetics Global event, taking place from April 8 to April 10 in Amsterdam.
A key new technical feature is the ability to choose from various formulation types, such as oil in water (O/W), water in oil (W/O), or oils, to assess how the sunscreen formulation base affects performance. Taking into account the formulation type and its viscosity in relation to the Sun Protection Factor represents a major advancement in achieving a more precise simulation and prediction of the sun protection factor (SPF).
This upgrade provides customers with solubility calculations and assessments. By linking the filter system with particular emollients, users can obtain detailed information on the dissolved percentage of each solid UV filter and evaluate the interactions between these ingredients to optimize their formulation development. Another valuable feature allows formulators to get information about regulatory requirements, helping them choose the right UV filters to align with regional market requirements. It provides SPF and UVA protection ratings tailored to specific regions. Plus, BASF’s EcoSun Pass criterion offers insights into the environmental sustainability of the selected UV filter combinations.
The Sunscreen Simulator has become a key industry standard for initiating new sunscreen developments, benefiting from 25 years of continuous enhancements to improve prediction accuracy. Now integrated into D’lite, BASF’s digital knowledge service platform for the personal care sector, users can tap into the BASF ecosystem to boost efficiency and foster innovation throughout the formulation development process. Additionally, users can explore the sun care market and analyze consumer products, gaining a deeper understanding of product offerings and market trends. The Sunscreen Simulator will be available to all registered D’lite users.
Shares of BASFY have lost 23% over the past year compared with a 32.2% decline of its industry.
