Inolex designs and manufactures a wide range of specialties for the beauty industry. Most recently, Inolex launched LexFeel® Enhance MB. This solubilising network is designed for the next generation of sun care. It stabilises organic UV filters, supports high filter loads, and elevates sensory performance. It is a highly effective stabiliser for Bemotrizinol (BEMT), Ethylhexyl Triazone (EHT), Bis-(Diethylaminohydroxybenzoyl Benzoyl) Piperazine (BMMT), and other common organic UV filters. LexFeel Enhance MB forms a polymer network that reduces the potential for recrystallisation.
The result is a stable, high-SPF formula with the refined, cushion-like touch for which LexFeel is known. Inolex is boldly pursuing safer, greener, and simply better ingredients.
