Vogue Business reported the global sun care market will reach $11.52 billion in 2024; this is projected to climb at a CAGR of ~4% from 2024-2028. In addition, as of August 22, TikTok shows some 1.6 million posts for the hashtag #sunscreen and 112.4 K posts for #sunprotection.
Clearly, consumers are talking about and purchasing sun care products, which puts the onus on formulators to deliver on experience as well as performance. That's where this latest podcast, sponsored by BASF, will come in handy.
Here, Diane Tom, Ph.D., technical service specialist in skin and sun care for the company, highlights tips, tricks and challenges to watch for when it comes to formulating sun care — all in under 12 min.
She outlines the basics:
- mineral vs. organic filters,
- supporting ingredients (e.g., film formers, water resistance agents, care ingredients, etc.),
- functional ingredients (emollients, emulsifiers, rheology modifiers, etc.),
- thickeners, pH and more.
Starting us off, however, she sets the scene with an additional minute and a half on trends in sun care and market opportunities, such as high end products. Register now to listen; it's free!
