Environmental, health, and societal concerns all play a growing role in today’s consumers’ decision making. The Resilient Beauty trend calls for coming out of the Covid crisis stronger than before, to build a better world – paying more attention to the future of our planet. At DSM, we believe in empowering customers and consumers to make smart choices.

 

Strike the right balance between SPF performance, cost, sensory factors and eco-friendliness

Sun protection products must become more environmentally friendly – and when original thinking meets established science they can. Our virtual lab, DSM’s SUNSCREEN OPTIMIZER™ 2.0 includes eco-profiling, offering a smart way to choose and combine UV filters for optimum performance. You can save time and expense by assessing the trade-off between eco-friendliness, costs and sensory factors (oil load) already at the project stage.

Its three-tier approach to eco-profiling uses established data under Reach and enables you to make side by side comparisons across different formulations. You can also share results immediately with your co-workers to adjust your products instantly, in real time.

And so that everyone can take action, our tool is available, free of charge to all.
