Protective Agents

Category overview

Protective agents appear as lightweight, transparent, or slightly opaque liquids, gels, or creams. They form a breathable barrier that shields skin and hair from environmental stressors like pollution, UV radiation, and moisture loss. They are used in sunscreens, moisturizers, and hair protectants. 

Popular INCI ingredients in this segment include Tocopherol, Dimethicone, or Panthenol. With rising interest in anti-pollution skincare, newer formulations combine botanical extracts. Regulatory considerations apply, particularly for UV filters or silicone-based protectants.

Sun Care: Water-in-Oil (W/O) Broad Spectrum Protection Daily Facial Moisturizer by DuPont Tate and Lyle

by DuPont Tate and Lyle

This Water-in-Oil (W/O) Broad Spectrum Protection Daily Facial Moisturizer is a light-feeling formulation which uses Zemea® Propanediol to maintain solubility and fluidity of water-soluble sulisobenzone UVB/UVA absorber. It evaporates on the skin to provide moisturization benefits and enhances freeze/thaw stability. The specially coated zinc oxide is designed to offer highest levels of broad-spectrum protection, transparency and dispersibility.

It contains both volatile & solvent/emollient components and has the ability to incorporate other organic sunscreen actives. It is stabilized by PEG-free emulsifier which offers inherent water resistance.
