- INCI Name
- Cellulose AcetateOctocrylene
SunCaps™ OctoCap™ is a type of encapsulated UV filter that is transparent and unbreakable, with octcrylene encapsulated within it. It is made of a single-layer cellulose-based polymer shell that provides optimal isolation of the UV filter, prevents its degradation, and improves its UV protection profile. This helps in retaining the sunscreen on the topmost layers of the skin, ensuring maximum protection against harmful UV rays. It also exhibits an improved sensorial profile with better tactile properties.
