FeruliShield Coconut

FeruliShield Coconut in short

FeruliShield Coconut is an oil-soluble ingredient. At room temperature it is semi-solid to liquid and pale yellow. It is not water-soluble. The name combines ferulic acid, a well-known plant antioxidant, with coconut, which suggests coconut-derived fatty chains that make the antioxidant oil-compatible. The supplier specification lists, fluids and sprays, day creams with protection from external factors and antioxidant products. Confirm full INCI and dose on the certificate of analysis.

Why ferulic acid in after-sun care

Ferulic acid occurs in rice bran, oats, coffee and many other plants. It is a strong antioxidant that absorbs part of the UV spectrum and helps stabilize other antioxidants. In after-sun care, ferulic derivatives support the protective concept by helping the skin and the formula cope with oxidative stress. Making it oil-soluble solves a common problem: pure ferulic acid is hard to dissolve in the oil phase where sun filters are.
