Sun Care\Baby Care: Very Water-Resistant Sunscreen Gel for the Body (SPF 25)
by Lubrizol
This lightweight sunscreen offers a surprisingly creamy/cushiony texture without the 'greasiness' of other very water-resistant SPF 25 sunscreens. This formula is also very water-resistant, and is effective against UVA and UVB radiation. Easy-dispersing Carbopol® ETD 2050 Polymer stabilizes the formula while providing long/smooth flow properties. Pemulen® TR-2 Polymer provides emulsification and stabilization of the sunscreen oils. Schercemol™ NGDO Ester provides good spreadability with high slip, and its highly branched structure is ideal for mitigating the oily feel of sun care formulations. Glucam™ E-20 and Glucam™ P-20 Humectants help to increase the water content in the top layers of the skin, while reducing the tackiness often associated with high-glycerin formulations.
