Solaveil™ CT-10W is a sunscreen complex, a highly stable aqueous dispersion of hydrophobically modified titanium dioxide particles with no sedimentation, high SPF efficacy, true transparency on skin, photostablity, and an excellent sensory profile.
It is an off-white viscous liquid (Solids content: 40%; TiO2 content: approximately 30%) that enhances the feel of suncare products.
Solaveil CT-10W is known as the premier inorganic UV filter and as the most transparent aqueous TiO2 product on the market. It delivers efficacious, aesthetically pleasing formulations, but the elegance does not stop here.
Formulations made with this complex leave a soft, velvety skin feel similar to that derived from silicone-based products. They give you a mild, highly effective inorganic formulation with a superb skin feel. Incorporated into a cosmetic emulsion, Solaveil CT-10W provides skin transparency equivalent to organic sunscreens, thanks to controlled particle size distribution that eliminates whitening but maintains SPF efficacy. The unique combination of efficacy and aesthetics makes Solaveil CT-10W appropriate for sun and daily wear formulations.Ingredients
