Uviva Technologies has turned 1 year old just as the company expands its reach in the U.S. and European markets.
The company's launches include Eclipse Z1; in the forthcoming June 2024 edition of Global Cosmetic Industry, Jeroen van den Bosch, managing director, Uviva Technologies, says of the technology:
The major launch of Uviva was Eclipse Z1 in 2023, a grade of zinc oxide with a new and specific morphology that has two main effects. The first is that it provides transparency levels that are the best in the industry today, while not sacrificing the SPF and UVA performance like most other transparency zinc oxides do. This is also very useful in color cosmetics where it has little to no impact on the product's color, making color matching less challenging when adding SPF protection.
Secondly, the regular morphology of Eclipse Z1 has an extremely low impact on oil phase viscosity and this directly translates in the overall sensorial aspects of a formula. Blind panel studies showed that identical formulations using Eclipse significantly perform and score better on aspects such as skin feel, formula spreadability and transparency.
Uviva's zinc supply is courtesy of parent company Grillo, which specializes in zinc production.
"As we commemorate our one-year anniversary, we take a moment to recognize the progress we have achieved in such a short timeframe," said van den Bosch, managing director at Uviva Technologies. "Our success is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team, as well as the unwavering support of our partners and customers."
