Applications:

Body care
Description:
Since Mfsorb 202 is approved for skin care in the EU, the USA and Japan, It is widely used in sun
preparations. Mfsorb 202 is a broad-band filter and can therefore also be used in day creams to
prevent premature ageing of the skin and to protect the lips.
As it is soluble in oil, Mfsorb 202 is incorporated in the oily phase. Its solubility in different oils is
shown in table 1 and 3.
Polar oils such as Cetearyl 2-ethylhexanoate, isopropyl myristate, GTCC, Finsolv TN, and Cetiol
HE are particularly suitable. (Finsolv TN, 15-Hydroxypentadecyl benzoate; Cetiol HE, PEG-7 cocoglyceride)
Non-polar oils such as liquid paraffin are less suitable as Mfsorb 202 can crystallize out as a result
of supersaturation after prolonged storage.
