Benefits of Film Formers Creating an even film of UV protection For products to be efficient/effective they must evenly coat the rough topography of the skin. Creating a thicker film (increased path length for photons) Simply by doubling the film thickness you get up to 100X the protection against UV rays! Increasing Water/Wear Resistance
Film Forming Lexorez 100 Water resistant film-former Lexorez 200 Water resistant film-former LexFilm Sun Water-proofing agent and solubilizer for UV actives LexFilm Spray High adhesion, soluble in hydro-alcoholic systems
Lexorez 100 & 200 - Key Features Leading polyester polymers used in sunscreens to provide waterproofing and water resistance. They are 100% active liquid and are dispersible in organic UV absorbers and emollients. They can also be used in color cosmetics with SPF (lipsticks, mascara, foundations) to provided transfer resistance. Use level ~ 3% Patented Inolex technology

Maximize UV Filter Efficiency and Photostability by Boosting Dielectric Constant Organic UV absorbers convert the sun s radiation into electronic excitation energy. Excitation energy has several possible outlets: Destructive e.g., isomerization, bimolecular reactions Non-Destructive e.g., heat, fluorescence, energy transfer Materials with a high dielectric constant tend to promote nondestructive pathways and lead to: More photostable formulas Increased SPF values
