Sun Oils

Sun Oil Ingredients 

Description: oils in the cosmetic industry have a liquid consistency that can easily be applied on the skin. The benefits of incorporating an oil into your skin care routine are: the anti-aging properties, moisturizing, protecting the skin, minimizing pores, and targeting acne. Oils for sun care can either function as a tanning oil or as sun protection. Tanning oils contain ingredients that speed up the process of receiving UV rays, resulting in more melanin and thus bronzed skin. On the other hand, high SPF for both UVA and UVB are desired more and more. 

Trends and Ingredients: ingredients in sun care oils usually include a variety of different natural oils. Think of Raspberry Seed Oil or Organic Pomegranate Seed Oil, in combination with ingredients that block or absorb the UV rays. A good example in this category is UV-Absorb M or C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate. Active ingredients for sun care can be categorized into 3 groups: organic chemical compounds, inorganic particulates, and organic particulates.
