Question

Could you please provide the exact composition (ingredients and percentages) of the SPF Protect Ultra formulation? I am asking in the context of understanding potential factors affecting its SPF/PA performance and testing results.

Answer

The ingredients of SPF Protect Ultra are a blend of five sunscreens:

  • OMC (Octyl Methoxycinnamate) 33%
  • DHHB (Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate) 22%
  • Oxybenzone (Benzophenone-3) 22%
  • Zinc Oxide 200nm 15%
  • Octocrylene 8%

These ingredients are mixed together to form the SPF Protect Ultra product.
