UV-Shield NA-1 – Natural UV Absorber and Antioxidant Booster for Sunscreens, Skincare, and Coatings
Form: Crystalline Powder | Purity: ≥ 98%
UV-Shield NA-1 is a high-performance, naturally derived UV absorber and multifunctional antioxidant booster engineered for use in sunscreens, cosmetic formulations, UV-resistant coatings, and textiles. With strong absorption in the UVB-UVA spectrum (284, 307, and 316 nm), this ingredient enhances SPF and UVA protection while stabilizing sensitive actives and UV filters in formulation. It is 100% biodegradable and suitable for clean-label, eco-friendly product development.
Top Benefits of UV-Shield NA-1
- Natural UV Filter for Cosmetics and Skincare: Protects against sun damage by directly absorbing harmful UV rays before they penetrate skin or material surfaces.
- SPF and UVA-PF Booster: Enhances broad-spectrum sun protection performance in mineral and chemical sunscreen formulations.
- Antioxidant Support: Neutralizes free radicals (superoxide and peroxyl) and reduces oxidative stress in both skin and materials.
- Stabilizes UV Filters: Prevents degradation of common UV actives, extending product shelf life and maintaining efficacy.
- Eco-Friendly & Biodegradable: 100% biodegradable and ideal for green beauty, sustainable coatings, and clean formulation systems.
Common Applications
- Natural Sunscreens and SPF Moisturizers: Acts as a booster for UVA and UVB protection in daily wear formulas.
- Cosmetics and Skin Care: Enhances antioxidant profiles in anti-aging creams, serums, and balms.
- UV-Resistant Coatings: Used in polymer and wood coatings to protect against photodegradation and discoloration.
- Technical Textiles and Fabrics: Increases UV resistance in outdoor clothing, performance wear, and upholstery.
- UV-Curable Resins: Scavenges free radicals and improves formulation stability under light exposure.
