Application

Sunsafe-MBC is a highly effective UVB absorber with a specific extinction (E 1% / 1cm) of min. 930 at around 299nm in Methanol and has additional absorption in the short-wave UVA spectrum. A small dosage would improve SPF when used with other UV filters. Effective photostabilizer of Sunsafe ABZ.

(1)Sunsafe-MBC is a highly UVB absorber. It is an oil soluble white crystalline powder that is compatible with most commonly used cosmetic ingredients. Sunsafe-MBC can be used in addition with other UV-B filters to boostSPF values.

(2)Sunsafe-MBC is a UVB absorber with a specific extinction (E 1% / 1cm) of min. 930 at around 299nm in Methanol and has additional absorption in the short-wave UVA spectrum.

(3)Sunsafe-MBC has a faint odor which has no effect on the finished product.

(4)Sunsafe-MBC is ideal for the formulation of water-resistant sunscreen products and can improve the photostability of Sunsafe-ABZ.

(5)Adequate solubility in the formulation must be ensured in order to avoid recrystallization of the Sunsafe MBC. The UV filters Sunsafe-OMC, OCR, OS, HMS and certain emollients are excellent solvents.
