Specifically, it absorbs the sun’s UVB rays. Polysilicone-15 has not been approved for use as a sunscreen yet by the United States Food and Drug Administration, which considers sunscreens over-the-counter drugs (in the European Union and UK markets, they are considered cosmetics). In its raw form, polysilicone-15 is a colorless-to-pale yellow viscous liquid. In the EU it is authorized for use in amounts up to 10% in a formula, though typical concentrations in sunscreens only go up to 5%. Since this filter is not broad spectrum, it should always be combined with other filters capable of providing UVA protection. Powiązane składniki: SPF
