Clariant unveils Eclipsogen CAP Duo Z and three personal‑care ingredients at in‑cosmetics Asia 2026
- Eclipsogen CAP Duo Z combines three organic UV filters (DHHB, EHT, BEMT) with zinc oxide in a cold-processable dispersion containing 38.5% total UV filter actives.
- In vitro testing at 9% total UV actives showed SPF 82.5 for the dispersion versus SPF 67.8 for equivalent free UV filters.
- An external study kept the critical wavelength at 377 nm after six hours of natural light and found a more uniform film with reduced visible white cast.
- GlucoTain Pro P and GlucoTain Sense are COSMOS‑approved sugar-based additives with Renewable Carbon Indexes of 93% and 96%, and Pro P is RSPO Mass Balance certified.
Hybrid UV system
Eclipsogen CAP Duo Z is a ready-to-use, cold-processable hybrid UV dispersion combining DHHB, EHT and BEMT with zinc oxide at 38.5% total actives, intended to simplify hybrid sunscreen formulation across serums, lotions, creams and milks.
Performance data
In-house in vitro tests at 9% total UV actives recorded SPF 82.5 for the dispersion versus 67.8 for free filters. An external study reported a maintained critical wavelength of 377 nm after six hours of natural light and a more uniform film with less visible white cast; a 33‑volunteer patch test showed no skin reactions.
Supporting ingredients
Sensotain ILS is presented as a multifunctional emollient offering UV filter solubilization, pigment wetting/dispersion and enhanced photostability of sensitive actives with a light, fast‑spreading feel. GlucoTain Pro P is an ultra‑mild foam booster that preserves foam in the presence of oils, reduced hair color fading by 30% versus SLES in tests, and GlucoTain Sense is a palm‑free sensory additive; both are COSMOS‑approved with high RCIs.
Natural actives and formulation aids
Lucas Meyer Cosmetics by Clariant highlights AlgaSurge, a vegan PDRN from red microalgae that increased procollagen I by 40% at 2.5 ppb versus salmon PDRN used at 500 ppm, with molecules under 100 base pairs; new data for Lysofix Liquid show skin soothing and hair benefits.
Event
The ingredients are being showcased at in‑cosmetics Asia 2026, 3–5 November at BITEC, Bangkok (Booth Z50, Hall 103).
