Symrise is celebrating its 150th anniversary of its first patent by founding father Wilhelm Haarmann with 150 shades of innovation. The campaign looks at the history of sun care and highlights the company’s industry-shaping innovations, products and ingredients as well as the differences in global customer demands and use.

The campaign will underscore interplay between cross-category capabilities and regional application laboratories within cosmetic ingredients. It will also consider Symrise’s accumulated knowledge in the sun care space.
Originally focused on ultraviolet radiation defense, today light protection extends beyond “beach products," per the company. The cosmetic ingredients division of Symrise offers a broad portfolio of ingredients for protection from UVA and UVB to infra-red and also visible and blue light.
Sun care products from the company include:
SymSol ProSun emollient blend (INCI: Not Provided) solubilizes crystalline UV filters and stabilizes formulations to support reliable high sun protection factor sun and skin care products with a pleasant skin feel.
SymEffect UV natural SPF booster (INCI: Not Provided) reportedly increases the effectiveness of organic and mineral UV filters. The ingredient can be incorporated into the oil phase of creams and lotions, per Symrise, and is well-suited for incorporation into emulsion-based cosmetic products with sun protection factors, including beach products, daily face creams and care products for children.
Timothy Kenny, global president, cosmetic ingredients at Symrise, commented: “Innovation forms the cornerstone of our industry. It is driving us to develop cutting-edge sun care products and functional ingredients that protect and nourish the skin. By embracing innovation, we stay ahead of the curve and strive to fulfill the evolving needs of our customers."
