Step change in sun protection
A new inorganic UV absorber, Optisol™, uses a patented process to include low levels of manganese (Mn) into the TiO2 particle to overcome any problems with free radical generation. Reproduced from 'Soap, Perfumery and Cosmetics', April 2005, with permission of Wilmington Publishing.
Sunscreens and Cosmetics Containing Manganese Doped Titanium Oxide Nanoparticles
In this paper it will be shown how a novel inorganic sunscreen additive, manganese doped titanium oxide (Optisol™), practically eliminates free radical production and how this results in significantly enhanced sunscreen performance during solar illumination.
