  Sunscreen Lotion Formula

  Posted by Zeeshan on December 1, 2019 at 3:33 pm

  Hi All,

  I’m looking at making an effective sunscreen lotion based on a general lotion formula, but with the addition of benzophenone-3 and benzophenone-4. I have come up with the below formula (1 Kg batch)

  Stearic Acid - 20gm
  Glycerol monostearate - 20gm
  Cetostearyl alcohol - 10gm
  Propyl Paraben - 1gm
  Butylated hydroxytoluene - 1gm
  benzophenone-3 - 5gm

  Wheat Germ Oil - 2gm
  Olive Oil - 3gm
  Isopropyl myristate - 4gm
  petrolatum - 4gm
  mineral oil - 70gm

  Glycerine - 30gm
  Propylene glycol - 20gm
  Triethanolamine - 10gm
  Dimethicone - 2.5gm
  D-Panthenol - 2.5gm
  Benzophenone-4 - 10gm
  Methyl Paraben - 2gm
  ethoxylated lanolin - 1.5gm

  Water (total) - 844.50 gm

  Would the above be effective as a sunscreen lotion, which is also moisturising.

  Thanks in advance for the feedback.
