Question
I have two questions regarding sunscreens:
- Is Ensulizole (Phenylbenzimidazole Sulfonic Acid) water-soluble?
- How can I add sunscreen to an existing cream formulation? The staff suggested using Tris-Biphenyl Triazine (Nano). How should this be incorporated?
Answer
Water-Soluble Sunscreens and Adding Sunscreen to Finished Cream
Based on your question and the information provided, here are some recommendations:
Water-Soluble Sunscreen:
- Ensulizole (Phenylbenzimidazole Sulfonic Acid) is a sunscreen that is soluble in water. It primarily provides protection against UVB rays. To dissolve it in water, the pH of the formula should be higher than 6.8, ideally between 6.8-7.0 for skin compatibility.
Adding Sunscreen to Finished Cream:
- Tris-Biphenyl Triazine (Nano) is a broad-spectrum organic sunscreen that can block UVB, UVA I, and UVA II rays. It is suitable for adding to existing cream or gel formulas. You can incorporate it by blending it into your finished cream base.
Both of these ingredients can help you achieve sun protection in your formulations, depending on whether you need a water-soluble option or one that can be easily added to a pre-made base.
