Request a Sample

A photostable UV filter that breaks through the boundaries of UVB and UVA to continue into the blue light spectrum

PARSOL® SLX (INCI: Polysilicone-15) is a silicone-based UVB absorber. This colorless-to-pale yellow viscous liquid integrates easily with the oil phase of sunscreen formulation. PARSOL® SLX is the first polymeric UVB filter consisting of chromophores attached to a silicone backbone and is an effective photostabilizer for PARSOL® 1789. When combined with PARSOL® HS this product can achieve a very high SPF (>30), enabling day care or sunscreen formulations that leave a dry, silky touch on the skin. PARSOL® SLX brings silkiness to formulation, adding sensory to performance and its polymeric structure ensures excellent skin compatibility building a uniform film for optimal sun protection.  PARSOL® SLX added to rinse-off and leave-on hair products delivers multiple benefits including prevention of colour fading, gloss enhancement and conditioning.
