Moisturizing Ingredients for Non-Greasy Sunscreen

Moisturizing Ingredients for Non-Greasy Sunscreen

To choose moisturizing ingredients for sunscreen that do not feel sticky, you can consider the Emollient group, which has various types that provide a light and easily absorbed texture.

Recommended Emollient Group

• LipidSoft™ Lite: This is a very light emollient that is non-greasy and non-comedogenic. It is highly suitable for formulas requiring lightness, such as sunscreens or moisturizers for oily skin. It provides a smooth skin feel similar to silicone but does not contain silicone.
• LipidSoft™ CC: Also has a light and non-greasy texture, suitable for normal to oily skin. It helps the cream spread easily and can also help dissolve certain chemical sunscreen ingredients.
• LipidSoft™ B: Commonly used in sunscreen formulas. It helps dissolve sunscreens well, boosting SPF values. It spreads easily, dries quickly, and provides a smooth, soft, light, and non-greasy touch. It is non-comedogenic.
• LipidSoft™ SPF: An emollient ester specifically designed to help dissolve chemical sunscreens without leaving a sticky feeling on the skin.
• LipidSoft™ Matte: Provides a light, soft, smooth, non-sticky texture with a matte finish. It is suitable for formulas that aim to reduce shine.
• LipidSoft™ Spread: Developed for easy spreading and lightness. It helps the formula distribute well and can be used in spray formulas or very light liquid formulas.
• LipidSoft™ Cyclo: An ingredient developed to replace Cyclomethicone, providing the same smooth feel but evaporating faster, resulting in a very light and non-greasy feel. It significantly increases the spreadability of the formula.

Shea Butter Group

Traditional Shea Butter can sometimes feel heavy on the skin, but there are modified forms with lighter textures.

• Shea Butter Light Oil: This is an oil derived from Shea Butter through a special process, resulting in a lightweight, non-greasy oil that is easily absorbed. It retains the moisturizing and soothing properties of Shea Butter. It is suitable for cold-process cream formulations.
• NanoShea™: This is Shea Butter dispersed in water at a nano level, making it stable in water-based formulas. It is suitable for liquid or spray formulas, providing moisture without feeling sticky.

Choosing the right emollient or oil type in an appropriate amount for your skin type and formula requirements will help create a sunscreen that provides good moisture without leaving a sticky feeling.
