Covabsorb EW water dispersible UV filter complex for transparent water based sunscreen gels

Covabsorb EW is a water dispersible complex of organic UV filters stabilized with nonionic solubilizers. The system contains Ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, Butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane and Ethylhexyl salicylate combined with PPG 26 Buteth 26 and PEG 40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil. The material appears as a transparent to slightly opalescent viscous liquid with light yellow color. The solubilizing system allows lipophilic UV filters to disperse within aqueous media and create clear or semi transparent solutions. It is designed for modern water based sunscreen gels and serums without traditional oil emulsions.

Properties and skin performance

In aqueous gels it forms a clear lightweight texture with uniform distribution of UV filters. The sensory profile remains light with smooth spreading and a soft finish.

Industry applications

Covabsorb EW is used in sunscreen gels, water based serums, sprayable protective systems and lightweight lotions. The ingredient enables the development of transparent sunscreen textures. Suitable for private label development and contract manufacturing due to stable dispersion and scalable industrial processing.

Formula example

Covabsorb EW 58 g
Purified water 700 ml
Glycerin 95 g
Butylene glycol 60 g
Xanthan gum 8 g
Aloe extract 40 g
Sodium lactate 6 g

Xanthan gum is dispersed into purified water until a homogeneous gel base forms. Glycerin and butylene glycol are incorporated and mixed thoroughly. Covabsorb EW is added into the aqueous phase with continuous mixing until the UV filter complex is evenly distributed. Aloe extract is then introduced. Sodium lactate is added to adjust the pH of the system. The final product is a transparent aqueous gel with evenly dispersed UV filters.

Covabsorb EW is designed for B2B sunscreen manufacturers and formulation laboratories developing transparent water based UV protection systems. It ensures stable dispersion of filters, optical clarity and reproducible performance in scalable industrial production.
