Optisol

(Titanium Dioxide)

UV protection, eliminates free radicals

OPTISOL™ is microfine skin coloured titanium dioxide incorporating a small amount (0.67%) of manganese in the crystal lattice. This allows absorbed UV energy to be dissipated, virtually eliminating the generation of free radicals. Manganese at the surface of the particle can scavenge free radicals that have been generated by other sunscreen components.

Broad spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB is of great importance and can be quantified by the Boots Star Rating Performance System. OPTISOL™ achieves the highest five star (ultra) rating, and its unique technology acts to stabilise the formulation, including protection of organic UVA and UVB absorbers, which allows a high level of protection to be maintained during solar exposure.
