Given society’s growing awareness of the benefits and risks of UV radiation, self-tanning lotions and creams are increasingly becoming the focus of consumer attention. Sophisticated cyclodextrins from WACKER’s biotech experts deliver high-performance additives for modern, market-oriented self-tanning products. In addition, you may call on our experts to help you develop tailor-made formulations.
In self-tanning products, theγ-cyclodextrin-CAVAMAX®complex masks the unwanted odors generated by the self-tanning process. Tocopherol – the best lipophilic antioxidant found in nature – regenerates and repairs UV-damaged skin. WACKER-tocopherol complexes are cyclodextrin occlusion compounds made from pharmaceutical-gradeγ-cyclodextrin and tocopherol (natural vitamin E) and act as a humectant in the end product.
