SunSpheres™ BIO SPF Booster
Award-Winning Bio-derived Biodegradable Sun Protection
SunSpheres™ BIO SPF Booster works as a natural SPF booster, functioning with both organic and inorganic UV filters with demonstrated in-vitro and in-vivo SPF boosting performance.
SunSpheres™ BIO SPF Booster is a biobased SPF booster from Dow made through the process of acid hydrolysis of wood pulp. This innovative new product works by a light scattering mechanism that offers effective UV scattering attributed to its high refractive index due to its high crystallinity, crystal size and agglomerate size.
In addition to SPF Boosting properties, SunSpheres™ BIO SPF Booster also functions as a multifunctional ingredient, delivering stabilizing, thickening and shear thinning benefits.
