Application
Tinosorb® S Aqua is the most high efficient oil soluble broad-spectrum UV filter. By the incorporation of low
concentrations of Tinosorb® S Aqua a high contribution of SPF and UVA-PF is achieved. Tinosorb® S Aqua
is an efficient performance booster with excellent photostability. Tinosorb® S Aqua is an outstanding stabilizer
for instable UV filters.
