UV PROTECTION

UV protection has become an important concern in our daily lives. Many modern leisure activities take place outdoors, and for many people having a tanned skin is synonymous being beautiful and fit.

However, it is common knowledge that as well as having beneficial effects, UV rays are also responsible for major skin damage. UV-B radiation, for instance, can cause sunburn and even severe first and second degree burns. UV-A rays penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin where they can accelerate aging processes. Severe over-exposure to the sun can cause skin cancer.

It is essential that the skin is protected from the negative effects of sun exposure. With its Neo Heliopan^® solutions, Symrise offers an extensive portfolio of UV filters. They comprise UVB and UVA filters and pigments such as zinc oxide to formulate modern and innovative sunscreen and daily use products for UV protection.

The recently launched, innovative SymHelios^® 1031 component complements our range of UV protection ingredients: SymHelios^® 1031 protects the skin from premature ageing caused by environmental pollution (UVB radiation, car exhaust fumes, cigarette smoke and industrial pollution).
