Iranian Company Makes Fast-Absorbing Nano-Based Sunscreen, Moisturizer
One of the achievements of the company is the production of skin creams with nanotechnology-based formulations.
In addition to protecting the skin from the sun's harmful rays, the company's sunscreen has a light, non-greasy and fast-absorbing texture that provides consumers with ease of use.
The softening and moisturizing cream, using herbal and natural ingredients, helps soften and hydrate the skin and is designed for use in different geographical areas and different weather conditions.
The production of the company's first commercial product, a softening and moisturizing cream, started last year with 800 tubes, and after initial assessments and receiving feedback from consumers, its production was increased and the second production batch with 4,000 tubes was presented to the market.
In a relevant development in July, a pharmaceutical company in Iran had also used nanotechnology to produce a sunscreen for children with an increased SPF of about 39 and without chemical absorbers.
The company has presented a specialized nano-based product to protect children's skin which is free of chemical absorbers and uses titanium dioxide nanoparticles as a physical UV absorber.
While common chemical absorbers in sunscreens may cause skin irritation and allergies, the use of nanoparticles, while increasing the SPF protection factor, also increases the apparent transparency of the protective layer on the skin.
The results of standard tests show that the SPF of this sunscreen increased from 11.39 in the control sample to 38.95 in the final sample using nanotechnology. This feature is a significant advantage for a product specifically for children, who need more protection and less irritation.
With ingredients like vitamins E and C, aloe vera gel, glycerin, and calendula extract, the sunscreen which has been produced specially for children, not only protects against UV rays, but also has anti-inflammatory and moisturizing properties. It is also resistant to sweat and washing, making it a reassuring choice for parents for everyday use on hot and sunny summer days, specially outdoors.
