Why do we use it in formulations?

Not just for whitening, but to prevent irreversible photo-aging caused by UV damage to the skin. SunCat DE provides ultra-wide spectrum UVA+UVB protection with its unique encapsulation technology that prevents chemical ingredients from being absorbed by the skin. It is non-irritating and can be used safely even on sensitive skin types, and the formula is refreshing and non-greasy, improving the sticky feeling of traditional sunscreens and forming a thin water-repellent protective film on the surface of the skin, providing a safer, more comfortable and long-lasting comprehensive UV protection.

Do you need it?

I highly recommend it for suncreen formulas

Strengths

Cold Process formula to instantly convert any formula into a sun protection.
