Question
Does the ingredient AquaForce™ DMTS require a Water-in-Oil (W/O) emulsion system, or can it be used in an Oil-in-Water (O/W) system or water-based formulas, especially in sunscreen applications?
Answer
AquaForce™ DMTS Emulsion Type
AquaForce™ DMTS is designed to be water-dispersible, meaning it does not require a Water-in-Oil (W/O) emulsion system.
It can be used in:
- Water-based formulas
- Oil-in-Water (O/W) emulsion systems
Using it in a water-based or O/W emulsion results in a lighter, less sticky feel compared to traditional sunscreens that require dissolving the UV filter in oil and forming a W/O emulsion. While a purely water-based formula is possible, a light Oil-in-Water emulsion with some light oil or silicone is often recommended for a smoother, more comfortable skin feel.
