Sun protection has changed. It is no longer something people reach for only on holidays or hot days. It is part of everyday skincare. This shift comes with higher expectations. People want protection that works quietly in the background, feels good on the skin and fits seamlessly into their routine. At Brenntag, we support this evolution with a portfolio of next-generation UV filters from Sarex Overseas, designed for real life, real habits and real skin needs.
Sarex specializes in modern triazine-based filters and advanced actives that combine high efficacy at low-use levels with mildness, photostability and sensorial elegance. These filters allow formulators to build high-SPF products that are strong on performance yet light in texture, creating wearability that keeps people coming back.

Photostability, mildness and strong activity at low use levels come together to support real consumer needs — from serums and gels to sprays, sticks and lightweight emulsions.
