Baycusan® for Skin and Sun Care

For skin and sun care formulations, Bayer MaterialScience offers two novel solutions: film-forming polyurethane dispersions and a non film-forming polyurea powder as a sensory additive.



Baycusan® polyurethane dispersions work as a film former in face masks and show the following properties :
  • A highly elastic film
  • Tear resistant, peels off in one piece

The non film-forming polyurea powder Baycusan® 1005 is suitable for dry or liquid products, high- and low-viscosity products such as lotions, creams and sprays. This polyurea powder imparts smoothness during the application process and leaves a powdery velvety, non-greasy, non-tacky feeling on the skin.
Applications : Face care, Body care, Face masks, ect.

Bayer MaterialSciene has also succeeded in developing sun-cream formulations with Baycusan® C 1000 that not only offer excellent water resistance, but also a pleasant skin feel even at a high sun protection factor (>SPF 25). The challenge was to combine the very good non-sticky and non-greasy properties of the Baycusan® film formers with the high concentrations of organic and inorganic UV filters. The results of the corresponding in-vitro tests are very promising.
