Water Dispersion Ethylhexyl Triazone is a highly effective UVB shielding agent, is highly stable and, most importantly, is lightweight, making it ideal for use in water-based sunscreen formulations.

Currently, there is no water-soluble or water-dispersible sunscreen in the world that provides UVB protection comparable to AquaForce™ EHT.

(The company provides free SPF measurement services if you use this ingredient in your sunscreen product formula.)

AquaForce™ EHT (Ethylhexyl Triazone Water-Dispersion) is a highly effective, stable, and most importantly, water-dispersion Ethylhexyl Triazone that provides UVB protection, is lightweight, and is ideal for use in water-based sunscreen formulations.

AquaForce™ EHT Highlights

1. Can be dispersed directly in water, no need to dissolve in oil, allowing for a water-based sunscreen formula or oil-in-water emulsion, which is light on the skin and not sticky like a water-in-oil emulsion formula, which is necessary for general sunscreens or normal EHTs (which must be dissolved in oil).

2. High stability when exposed to sunlight (exposed to Solar simulator for 30 minutes, the effectiveness is reduced by no more than 5% compared to general sunscreens which are reduced by more than 20%).

3. Not absorbed into the skin because it is wrapped in polymer, reducing the chance of allergies or irritation caused by general chemical sunscreens.

4. Provides a very high SPF (UVB) value. Currently, there is no water-soluble or water-dispersed sunscreen in the world that provides UVB protection as effectively as AquaForce™ EHT.

A single application rate of AquaForce™ EHT in a formula without any other sunscreen at 35-40% can provide an SPF of 50+ and still maintain a water-based (oil-in-water emulsion) formula.

Although the formula can be made into a water-based emulsion, without any oil or silicone, it may not feel comfortable on the skin. The ideal formula should be a light oil-in-water emulsion, with light oil or silicone as ingredients to make the skin feel smooth and comfortable to use.

In SPF testing, 1% of AquaForce™ EHT was found to provide an SPF of approximately 2.3-2.5 without the need for oil in the formula.

SPF values were tested by mixing directly with water at the rate of 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40%.

The company distributes AquaForce™, a water-dispersible, highly stable, and highly effective sunscreen with five types of protection.

1. AquaForce™ EHT is the most effective and stable UVB protection with a concentration of 20% EHT.

2. AquaForce™ AVO has the highest efficiency in protecting against UVA light and is highly stable due to BEMT with a concentration of AVO + BEMT 20%, which provides stability.

3. AquaForce™ DMTS (or Mexoryl XL , a sunscreen developed by L'Oreal) is a highly effective and stable UVA+UVB sunscreen with a DMTS concentration of 20%.

4. AquaForce™ BEMT is the most effective UVA+UVB protection and highly stable with BEMT concentration of 20%.

5. AquaForce™ DHHB is highly effective in protecting against UVA light, is highly stable, and has the advantage of being compatible with all types of physical sunscreens, with a DHHB concentration of 20%.

Recommendations for developing a water-based sunscreen formula:

1. If you want to emphasize UVB (skin burning protection), choose AquaForce™ EHT. It can be used alone. If you don't want to emphasize UVA (skin aging protection), you can easily achieve UVB (SPF50+) protection. The formula is light and has a low cost.

2. If you want to emphasize UVA (skin aging protection), choose AquaForce™ AVO, which can be used alone.

3. If you want to emphasize Borad spectrum UVA+UVB

3.1 In case of low cost, use AquaForce™ EHT together with AquaForce™ AVO which will provide broad spectrum efficiency to protect from both UVA+UVB with very high SPF and UVAPF values.

3.2 In case you want to emphasize convenience and use only one sunscreen, use AquaForce™ BEMT which will provide broad spectrum efficiency and protect against both UVA+UVB with very high SPF and UVAPF values.

4. If you want to focus on using premium sunscreens for export to European countries, choose AquaForce™ DMTS. DMTS is a sunscreen that Europe accepts as having the highest safety, providing very good broad-spectrum efficiency, and being very stable. The formula can be easily developed and is very light, but it will be expensive.

Having a small amount of ethanol in the formula (3-5%) will help to make the texture smoother and the skin feel lighter.
