Croda International Plc has new data on the SPF-boosting capabilities of Crodabond CSN.

Already established in Croda Beauty’s hair care portfolio, Crodabond CSN is a 100% naturally derived emollient proven to provide long-lasting cuticle sealing and split-end repair for damaged hair. New data reveals that Crodabond CSN can also enhance the efficacy of organic and inorganic UV filters to provide a cost-effective solution to achieve high SPF claims, according to the company.

Crodabond CSN is proven to boost SPF and UVA protection by up to 111% by enhancing the film forming properties of sunscreens, improving UV filter distribution and spreadability on the skin. By boosting protection across the UV spectrum and facilitating the use of less UV filter, Crodabond CSN offers formulators a flexible and cost-effective solution to achieve high SPF claims, without compromising on performance or sensory aesthetics

“At Croda, we believe that true innovation goes beyond efficacy – it builds trust” said Hannah Critchley, head of marketing – skin care at Croda Beauty. “At a time where consumers are looking for science-backed beauty products, our latest data for Crodabond CSN embodies that principle, helping brands create sun care formulations that deliver consistent, proven protection through enhanced film formation and optimised distribution of UV filters. Creating reliable sun care formulations that consumers trust is ever more important with increased scrutiny of SPF testing practices. Our new data for Crodabond CSN is another step forward in our mission to use smart science to improve lives.”

Crodabond CSN supports Croda’s commitment to sustainable innovation as a 100% natural, readily biodegradable SPF booster. By lowering the amount of UV filter required in formulation, Crodabond CSN can also help to improve the environmental impact of sunscreens by reducing the carbon footprint of formulations containing inorganic UV filters by up to 13.5%.

With growing consumer awareness of the dangers of sun exposure driving desire for high performance products, Crodabond CSN offers a cost-effective way to boost the efficacy of sunscreen formulations and ensure reliable skin protection.
