When & How to incorporate Hybrid PMMA series?
Q: When? A: After emulsion, after cooling down emulsion, incorporate Hybrid PMMA
at low temperature(i.e. <30℃)
Q: Why? A: As the Melting point of BMDBM is 81~86℃, if Hybrid AB adds before
emulsion, during the emulsion process, the emulsion temperature could go up more than 81℃, BMDBM becomes liquid and it would be leaked out from PMMA shell.
Q: How to add? A: Polymer Micro Beads are slightly hydrophobic, it would be difficult to
incorporate polymer beads directly into water especially without poly alcohols Thus, premix polymer beads in poly alcohol solutions such as 1,3 Butylene Glycol or Propylene Glycol or Glycerin and add the premixed phase after emulsion
Melting point BMDBM: 81~86℃ BEMT: 80 ℃ EHT: 123 ℃

The amount of BMDBM decreases
weakening of the UVA protection
(3) Poor Compatibility
(2) Poor Photo-stablility
Aluminum oxide is one of the most
common coating material for TiO2.
BMDBM forms a complex with Al3+
salts from TiO2 coatings
Avobenzone degrades quickly in the sun. Researchers have reported a
36% reduction in UVA absorption by avobenzone after only 15 minutes of
exposure. In vitro studies have shown a 50% loss in UVA blockage for
different sunscreen formulations, confirming the photodegradation of
avobenzone.
(4) Crystallization
BMDBM is susceptible to
crystallization that results in loss of
product aesthetics, sun protection,
appearance, stability

However, BMDBM is globally approved
Problems
Avobenzone • INCI: Butyl Methoxy
dibenzoylmethane(BMDBM)
• Oil soluble UVA filter
• Avobenzone was patented in
1973 and was approved in
the EU in 1978. It was
approved by the FDA in 1988.
Its use is approved
worldwide
• Avobenzone is sensitive to
the properties of the solvent,
being relatively stable in
polar protic solvents and
unstable in nonpolar
environments

UVA filter in water phase
Most UV filters are either oils or need to be dissolved in polar emollients.
The results are highly loaded oil phases, which lead to the most common limitations in
Sun Care formulations
- Reduced cosmetic elegance
- Lower flexibility to modify the sensory properties of formulations
- Suboptimal performance due to the use of filters mainly in one formulation phase
Hybrid PMMA, water dispersible, can be incorporated in the water phase
The use of Hybrid PMMA allows a balanced incorporation of UV filters in the water
and oil phase. Therefore, a more homogeneous distribution of the UV filters on
skin can be achieved which often result in a boosting effect
Through incorporation into water phase, Hybrid PMMA offers increased
formulation flexibility. Lower UV filter concentration is needed in the oil phase to
achieve highest contribution to SPF and UVA-PF

To achieve PA+++,
Avobenzone 3.5% in oil
phase Possible option?
W/Si
Not possible As avobenzone is not soluble to silicone oils, usage of even
small amount of avobenzone together with silicone oils causes sever formula instability
O/W
Not recommended to put 3.5% of Avobenzone
into internal oil phase as it greatly restricts formulation freedom in oil phase
W/O Putting 3.5% in external oil phase is possible… Concerns about photostability & solubility of Avobenzone
requires use of Octocrylene and other heavy oils So the feel is very oily and unpleasant
Difficult to use Avobenzone
3.5% in oil phase.
The reasons are…
So…Hybrid AB in water phase!

PA+++ solution for USA
Max approval % of avobenzone in USA is 3% as compared to 5% or more in other countries From the formula right, BMDBM 1.2% + Hybrid AB 6% = 1.2% + 6%*30% = 1.2% + 1.8% = 3.0% BMDBM 3% is not enough to achieve PA+++ So that’s why BPS-3 is used to achieve PA+++ No mineral filters used to meet FDA regulation

Most chemical filters are very oily and leave behind an unpleasant,
sometimes sticky feel on the skin
Hybrid PMMA has the excellent skin feel of PMMA bead which is
frequently used as a texture additive, and therefore lend the formula
a soft-touch effect

Theoretical Explanation
Photo-degradation of Avobenzone
can be blocked as Avobenzone is
immobilized or located inside solid
PMMA matrix where avobenzone is
segregated or protected from other
UV filters or any other kinds of
potentially reactive chemicals
Thus Hybrid PMMA system is very
novel and innovative way to improve
photo-stability of avobenzone

BEMT
• INCI: bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine(BEMT)
• oil-soluble
• Broad-spectrum UV absorber, absorbing UVB as well as UVA
rays. It has two absorption peaks, 310 and 340 nm.
• Highly photostable. Even after 50 MEDs (minimal erythemal
doses), 98.4% remains intact. It helps prevent the
photodegradation of other sunscreen actives like avobenzone
• Not approved in US
• Unlike some other organic sunscreen actives, it shows no
estrogenic effects in vitro.[12]
• A recent development is Tinosorb S Aqua, which is
bemotrizinol in a PMMA matrix dispersed in water. This makes
it possible to add bemotrizinol to the water phase
Can’t be used together with more than 3% of cyclomethicone(D5) in formulation
