Sun Care Solutions from Dow Corning

Sun protection is an important part of daily skin care.  The sun’s energy has potential for damaging effects on the skin, including burns in the near-term and pre-mature aging of the skin, skin disease and possibly cancer in the longer-term.  Consumers are increasingly aware of the need to prevent these potential risks by using products that are convenient and are pleasant to touch and feel, and that provide effective, long-lasting UVA and UVB protection.

In an effort to help you design and build sun protection products for recreational or everyday use, Dow Corning offers a range of choices that make formulating easier, more cost effective and that meet both consumer demand for aesthetically pleasing products and global regulations for effective and compliant products.
