#10 Bioplastic sunscreen – Bio-on launches bioplastic sun protection cosmetic ingredients

In Italy, Bio-on launched a brand-new line of cosmetic ingredients for sun protection made from biodegradable bioplastic. The Minerv Bio cosmetics brand gains a new line of eco-friendly SPF (Sun Protection Factor) Booster products called minervPHB RIVIERA which are made with micro powders made with Bio-on’s bioplastic, obtained from renewable plant sources and 100% biodegradable.

These ultra-green ingredients (micro powders made from biodegradable bioplastic microscopic spheres or capsules) are designed to significantly reduce the percentage of UV filters used in the sun protection product and boost water resistance. The minerv bio cosmetics portfolio is now extended to include minervPHB RIVIERA an SPF Booster suitable for all solar formulations and minervPHB RIVIERA PLUS an innovative SPF Booster, enriched with antioxidants, ideal for total care products (skin care, make-up, hair care).
