HallStar Introduces New, Revolutionary Sunscreen Photostabilizer...
The HallStar Company, a Chicago-based specialty chemistry company, announces the availability of a groundbreaking new ingredient that can improve the performance of all types of sun protection products. HallStar’s SolaStay™ S1 is a new, more powerful photostabilizer that, when added to sunscreen formulations, can help sunscreen formulators achieve previously unobtainable levels of protection against both the burning and aging rays of the sun.
“HallStar SolaStay™ S1 is simply the most powerful sunscreen photostabilizer available today,” said Craig Bonda, Director of Research & Development for Personal Care Ingredients at HallStar. “Now personal care producers have a valuable new tool to formulate products that not only prevent sunburn, but protect against the aging effects of sun exposure at the same time.”
When exposed to energy from solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation, UV filters like Avobenzone break down and lose their effectiveness. To prevent this, formulators add photostabilizers to their products to slow down the degradation. SolaStay™ S1 uses a different, better process to prevent or slow UV filter degradation, dramatically outperforming every other photostabilizer in the market. The result is maximized UVA protection and increased SPF.
SolaStay™ S1 is suitable for lotions, creams, sprays, and gels. This is a powerful new tool for formulators who want UVA and UVB protection in their sunscreens and daily wear products.
“As photostability experts, HallStar offers a wide range of technologies that formulators need to deliver photostable, broad-spectrum sun protection that meets or exceeds the highest international standards,” said John Paro, HallStar President and CEO.
