The lower end of the range is best for solvent polarity optimization in sunscreens, while the upper end is best for make-up formulations that require exceptional pigment wetting.
It is effective as a sunscreen actives solvent, inorganic pigment wetter, emollient, moisturizer, and carrier.
A low viscosity liquid of high polarity with elegant slip and feel, it is useful as a solvent and emollient in topical preparations for skin and hair.
TinSorb™ BHB significantly increases the in vivo SPF performance of sun protection products through the reduction of electron transfer and photoprotection mechanisms.
Sun care products typically contain 5% or less of this ingredient in order to be globally compliant.
Note that, at 5% use in a sun care formulation, TinSorb™ BHB is responsible for no more than 2 SPF units.
Recommended use levels range from 2% to 10%.
