Phase one of the partnership will deliver the Solaveil TM MicNo® range of mineral sunscreens that Croda will introduce to the market in a managed way over the coming few months. This unique range offers exceptionally high protection performance and non-whitening benefits, attributed to the products’ unique micro platelet ZnO structure.

One of Croda’s Hero Targets within its ‘People Positive’ commitment is to protect at least 60 million people annually from potentially developing skin cancer from harmful UV rays, through the use of sun care ingredients. “Smart Science and an ongoing commitment to innovation and collaborative partnerships, such as this one, are key to achieving this target” states Jennifer Hart, Global Managing Director of Croda’s Beauty Effects Business. “We are excited about the future of solar protection and the innovative solutions that Croda and Entekno Materials will work together to deliver.”
