For mass market formulas, DZ 480 CCT is the most cost-effective solution for boosting SPF and critical wavelength, especially in combination with organic UV filters. The DZ 480 CCT is designed for mass market formulations, where the goal is hitting SPF and broad spectrum benchmarks at efficient price points without sacrificing much on sensory and transparency.
Easy Manufacturing
- Stable product, no separation and no sedimentation.
- Easy to transfer and to mix with the common cosmetic equipments.
Easy Formulation/product development
- COSMOS, ECOCERT and Natural Product Association (NPA) approved for natural sunscreens which meet with global regulations.
- Meet with global UVA criteria: FDA of USA: critical wavelength > 370 nm; PA +++ of Asia; UVAPF/SPF > 1/3 of EU
- Speed to market: Provides the guide equations to calculate/predict the appropriate % dosage for the target SPF and critical wavelength for quick formulation development.
- Extremely high % active for flexible formulation development with good sensory.
Applications & Uses

- Color Cosmetic Applications
- Sun Care Applications
- Applications
Cosmetic and Toiletry:
- Natural sunscreens that meet with all global regulations for broad spectrum and “natural” standards.
- Sunscreens for baby and people with sensitive skin
- Sport sunscreens with long lasting UV A and B protection
- Daily skin care lotion and cream with UV A and B protection
- Natural color cosmetics with sunscreen benefit, such as BB cream and CC cream.
- Sun protection products of high SPF with a synergistic combination of organic UVB/A filters and G-Block DZ 480CCT
- SPF 30+ in combination with organic UVB filters
- SPF 50 in combination with organic UVB filters
- BB, CC, DD creams
- Lip balm
- Usage Guidelines
Just add into the oil phase of the formulation and mix.
Dosage: About 1.5 SPF per 1% ZnO active. Critical Wavelength is 378 - 380 nm. For example, a SPF 30 sunscreen formulation would need: 30/1.5 = 20 % ZnO active, or about 25.0% G-Block DZ 480 CCT (25% x 80% = 20% ZnO active).
For predicting the SPF and critical wavelength of sunscreen prototypes made of the blends of several GBlock products, please contact us for the "G-Block Prediction Calculator" program to do it easily.
Sunscreen Test Protocols:
SPF: In-Vivo Protocols of FDA of USA and EN ISO 24444:2010.
UVA: In-Vivo protocol of EN ISO 24442:2011; In-Vitro Protocol of FDA of USA( critical wave) ; EN ISO 2443:2012 (UVAPF) .
Please note that in-vitro SPF measurement is not suitable for sunscreens of inorganic UV filters
