    Uploaded by

    Kirk Borromeo
    This document describes Granlux, a line of physical UV filter dispersions suitable for producing green bio-cosmetic sun and skin care products. Granlux dispersions offer superior UV protection compared to TiO2/ZnO powders or oil/water dispersions through their even application, lack of sedimentation, and avoidance of unwanted additives. They are also described as a safer alternative to organic UV filters by not penetrating the skin or causing unwanted effects. The document emphasizes Granlux's green credentials, with ingredients from vegetable or biologically cultivated sources that are not chemically modified.

    The document discusses the benefits of Granlux products which are physical UV filter dispersions for use in bio-cosmetics and sun care products. It compares Granlux to other types of UV filters and dispersions and outlines key features of Granlux.

    Granlux products have advantages over other UV filters in that they do not penetrate the skin, avoid unwanted skin effects, provide long-lasting UV protection and allow high amounts of physical UV filters in formulations while also serving as a true skincare ingredient.

    Compared to TiO2/ZnO nano powders, Granlux dispersions are easier to use and incorporate, require fewer processing steps, make better use of surface science, and provide higher SPF efficacy including use in water gels. Compared to TiO2/ZnO oil or water dispersions, Granlux avoids issues like sedimentation, agglomeration, and destabilization that can reduce efficacy.

    GRANLUX
     The scientifically superior way of
    introducing physical UV filters to sun
    and skin care as well as colour
    cosmetic application.
     An investment in consumer safety
    and health aspects of skin- and
    suncare products

     Independent tests have repeatedly proven


    that GranLux dispersions outperform
    competing products with regards to efficacy
    and ease of use.

    These dispersions are based on highly efficient


    mineral pigments, emulsifiers and emollients.
     No silane or dimethicone treatments
     Emulsifiers and surfactants of vegetable
    origin
     No isomerization, ethoxylation or products of
    organochemical synthesis
     Emollients of preferably “controlled
    biological cultivation” – origin
     Not chemically modified except for possible
    esterification or condensation
     Not sourcing from dead animals or
    genetically modified organisms
     No radioactive irradiation of raw materials or
    products

    IMPORTANT FEATURES OF GRANLUX!

    1. Titanium dioxide is coated with aluminum


    hydroxide.
    Aluminum hydroxide prevents clumping of titanium
    dioxide and allows even application.

    Aluminum coating is recommended in the Guidelines


    for Natural Cosmetics of the BDIH*.
