Mycosporine-like amino acid uv filters: BASFRecent Research Landscape

Poor solubility of organic UV filters leads to recrystallization and reduced SPF efficacy. Precise solvent-to-filter ratios stabilize the formulation to ensure consistent photoprotection performance.

What technical problems is BASF addressing in Mycosporine-like amino acid uv filters?

Inadequate broad spectrum photostability

(21)evidences

Organic and inorganic UV filters often suffer from rapid degradation or insufficient coverage across the full UV spectrum. Enhancing stability and breadth of protection prevents formulation breakdown and skin damage.

Inadequate cutaneous vitamin d synthesis

(7)evidences

Inconsistent dispersion and large particle size reduce formulation stability and optical transparency. Achieving uniform sub-micron distribution prevents sedimentation and enhances photoprotective efficacy.

Inaccurate sunscreen efficacy forecasting

(6)evidences

Current methods fail to precisely quantify UV protection levels during formulation and manufacturing. Reliable performance forecasting reduces the risk of sub-standard product safety and regulatory non-compliance.
