Croda published new data supporting the use of Volarest FL in sunscreen applications. Volarest FL is a high-performance polymer designed to offer the personal care market more consumer-appealing cosmetics. The company maintains that by including Volarest FL in a formulation, formulators can generate that “wow” factor through a product’s delivery, sensory and appearance parameters.

According to Croda, Volarest FL has been shown to deliver targeted, non-drip sprayable sunscreens; a more convenient and easy-to-use solution to standard low viscosity systems available on the market today. The fast-growing sprayable market creates new challenges for formulators: to develop new formulations that are not only easy to apply but also provide effective skin care benefits in a sensorially-appealing light, non-tacky way.

The novel polymer architecture and “Fly-Stay” Technology of Volarest FL makes it the perfect solution for targeted delivery of a sunscreen product sunscreens because it offers a number of consumer-appealing attributes including convenience, non-drip, improved sensory benefits and less whitening on the skin. Vigorous performance testing has shown that Volarest FL can be used to create thick sprayable sunscreens with a broad range of inorganic and organic UV filters as well as varying SPF protection levels.
