A titanium dioxide-containing material developed for the next generation of mineral sunscreens.
What we do
At Perlion, we apply advanced materials chemistry to the mineral UV filters formulators already know. The flagship product, solir, combined titanium dioxide with organic components drawn from established cosmetic ingredients in a single trade-name material whose light absorption extends from ultraviolet into the visible region — without introducing new chemical UV filters.
Where mineral filters fall short
Titanium dioxide and zinc oxide absorb ultraviolet light through their electronic band gap. At wavelengths longer than about 400 nm, they scatter visible light rather than absorbing it, so their absorption profile ends where the visible spectrum begins.
What solir adds
solir is a titanium dioxide-containing material for mineral sunscreens with absorption extended beyond UV, into the 400–500 nm region of the visible spectrum. It is supplied as a ready-to-formulate powder, compatible with existing mineral sunscreen platforms.
