- Biodegradability
The biodegradability of SolAmaze® Natural polymer was assessed using the OECD 301D ready biodegradation screening test. The pass-level of this test allowing a ready biodegradation classification is set at 60% and must be reached within the 28-day test period. River water was used as inoculum to assess the biodegradation potential. SolAmaze® Natural polymer is classified readily biodegradable after passing the OECD 301D test at day 28.

- Background
When formulating high performing sunscreens, formulators have learned to fully trust synthetic ingredients providing outstanding water-resistance and pleasant consumer esthetics. However, these ingredients, often based on petrochemically derived raw materials, are under scrutiny from NGOs and the media for their persistence in the environment and arguable sustainability. Regardless of the scientific facts they tend to sensationalize the microplastic discussion rather than promote good science. Due to this trend in the market, consumers are demanding more sustainable product solutions while the performance must be at least equivalent.
