Skin care applications
While technically a part of our Skin Care activities, The Global Personal Care group of AkzoNobel has a great deal of technology and expertise aimed at improving the performance and consumer experience of sun care products. Our film forming technology platform has allowed us to innovate in the area of enhancing the water and rub-off resistance of sun care formulations—a critical performance area for this category. We have developed new technology for understanding and measuring this property. We have also used our technology to improve the aesthetic feel of sun care formulations.
