Zinc oxide Grillo UV 8+

Broadband UV filter for the new challenges in sun protection

Due to more and more requirements from consumers and authorities, the formulation of sunscreen products has become more and more challenging in recent years. In addition to better UVA protection demanded by consumers, many of the used UV filters, such as titanium dioxide, octocrylene, octinoxate or oxybenzone, are under discussion or have even been partially banned.


Grillo UV 8+ is a pharmaceutical grade zinc oxide with a high surface area that helps manufacturers of sunscreen products to meet these challenges:

| Globally approved UV filter
| UVA/UVB ratio possible with one UV filter (excellent broadband UV filter)
| Alternative to titanium dioxide (more effective UVA adsorption, better safety rating)
| Allows octocrylene-free formulations by eliminating organic UVA filters
| Use in classic or also natural cosmetic sun protection formulations (COSMOS certified)
