Description
Synoxyl® HSS is a biodegradable SPF booster and photostabilizer, ideal for formulating broad-spectrum sunscreens free from octocrylene and oxybenzone. Inspired by the molecular structure of ginger, Synoxyl® HSS is designed to enhance SPF performance, protect light-sensitive ingredients from photodegradation, and safeguard the skin by inhibiting upstream reactive oxygen species (ROS) cascades.
This unique compound delivers in-vivo SPF boosting of ≥50% in both organic and inorganic sunscreen formulations—without contributing to SPF on its own—making it a cost-effective, eco-friendly solution for next-generation sun care products. Its photostabilizing effect stems from triplet-state energy transfer from avobenzone and light-triggered reactions that preserve key chromophores, ensuring long-lasting UV protection and formulation integrity.
Key Benefits:
- Biodegradable and environmentally conscious
- Simplifies the preparation of eco-friendly sunscreens
- Significantly boosts SPF in vivo
- Stabilizes UV filters like avobenzone
- Ideal for octocrylene- and oxybenzone-free formulations
