Vegetable SPF Booster

The booster in brief

It goes into the oil phase of an emulsion or into an anhydrous balm. Check the CoA for the INCI and the level suggested for each lot.

What a booster can and cannot do

A booster supports them, for example by helping filters spread evenly or by adding plant-based oils that complement the filter system.

Regulatory notes

The European Union and other regions have their own lists and test methods. Plan the regulatory path before formulating.

Product formats

In a tested, the booster joins the oil phase with the filters.

Daily creams

The plant-based booster adds a natural-sounding element to the ingredient list.

Serums and balms

Without testing, describe them only as care products.

Processing

Add the booster to the oil phase with the filters and emollients. Mix well so the oil phase is uniform before emulsifying. Add tocopherol if the oil phase contains plant oils.

Testing

Check water resistance if you claim it. Repeat tests if you change the formula.

Claims

Use only claims backed by tests. For untested products, keep wording about care and comfort, not.

Plant-based after-sun care

Many shoppers want after-sun care with a natural feel. A plant-based booster helps tell that story, while the tested filter system does the protecting.

Budget and timing

Plan it early, and send the lab a final, stable formula.

Explaining boosters to shoppers

A short, honest note on the product page can explain that the product's protection comes from its tested filters, and that plant-based ingredients such as the booster support the formula's feel and story. This avoids confusion and builds trust. Avoid suggesting that the plant ingredient alone protects the skin.

Packaging

Sun products travel to beaches and pools, so choose tubes that close well and resist heat. Opaque packs protect the formula from light, and a flip cap is easy to use with sandy or wet hands.

Storage

Store closed in a cool place away from light. Close the container after use.
