The cosmetics industry faces the challenge of developing high-performance sunscreen products that offer effective protection against UV radiation, while meeting the growing demands for sustainability, skin compatibility, and sensory properties. Consumers expect modern suncare products to provide not only reliable protection, but also a pleasant skin feel. To meet these expectations, well-thought-out formulation strategies, together with innovative, environmentally- and skin-friendly raw materials are essential.

Lamberti, a global manufacturer of high-quality personal care ingredients, in partnership with the Biesterfeld Group, one of the leading international distributors, provide technical expertise and application support. This strategic collaboration delivers joint solutions to improve the performance of sun protection products, while addressing regulatory compliance and sustainability goals. Drawing on decades of experience in developing and marketing innovative raw materials, the two companies combine their strengths to offer customised solutions for the modern formulation challenges.

Building on this expertise, Lamberti has developed Alpicare D 3 (INCI: Polyhydroxystearic Acid), a COSMOS-approved advanced solution that optimises both skin protection and the sensory properties of sunscreen products.
