Here to shine a light on the facts
With so much contradictory and scientifically unverified information surrounding us, it can be challenging to know what and who you can trust, and where to find trusted sources of knowledge. At the same time, consumers are becoming more proactive in seeking the truth.
The sun care market is no exception. Consumers are, happily, increasingly aware of the need for safe UV filters, as well as the impact their ingredients might have on the environment.
At dsm-firmenich, we believe in empowering customers and consumers to make the best choices for them.
Our UV Task Force is on hand to share expertise, insights and transparent information about our beauty and personal care ingredients. They also open the space for facilitated discussions which encourage new ways of thinking and support shaping the future of the industry.
