Sunscreen Simulator

Unlock the Future of Sun Care with a new version of BASF’s Sunscreen Simulator!

For over 25 years, BASF’s Sunscreen Simulator has been the go-to tool for optimized sun care development, enabling producers to design high-quality, customer-focused sun protection solutions.

Reliable and Fast 

  • Unlimited Real-Time Calculations: Kickstart your new sunscreen development with immediate feedback and insights.
  • Evolution of the Industry Benchmark: Building upon the original offerings, the Sunscreen Simulator continues to evolve while maintaining essential and reliable features. 
  • Regulatory Insights: Designed to navigate regulatory boundaries, assisting you in identifying regional characteristics.

Key Evaluations:

  • Performance Ratings: Display SPF and UVA protection ratings for selected regions, ensuring your formulations are tailored to meet specific market needs. 
  • Solubility Evaluation of UV filters and emollients combination, assess the interactions between these ingredients, streamlining your formulation development. 
  • EcoSun Pass: Gain a quick and convenient overview of the environmental compatibility of selected UV filter combinations, allowing for smarter UV filter choices.

New Technical Features:

  • Introduction of Formulation Types selection: The simulator now allows you to explore the effect the sunscreen formulation type has on performance. The consideration of the impact of the formulation type (O/W, W/O, oils) and its viscosity on the SPF is a significant step forward in the development of the tool for obtaining a more accurate simulation of the SPF.  
  • Improved Solubility Calculations: Connect your filter system with chosen emollients to get clear information on the dissolved percentage of each crystalline UV filter. 
  • Enhanced Simulation Projects Management: Keep track of all your projects with a robust filtering function, allowing you to easily search for specific projects. The system offers various sorting options, including among others regions, project status, or keywords.

Efficiency and Innovation: 

  • Eliminate Pre-Formulation Lab Trials: Save time and resources by reducing the need for trial-and-error testing. Cost-Effective and Ethically Valuable: Minimize in vivo testing, aligning with ethical standards while being cost-efficient.

Let´s get inspired!

New Journey

  • Access a suncare formulation database and get inspired by prototypes from our global and regional labs. These have passed our internal stability testing under various conditions to meet your SPF and formulation needs. 
  • Upload the UV filters and emollients from BASF’s formulations into your Sunscreen Simulator projects for further adaptations.

User Experience: 

  • Intuitive Interface: Experience an enhanced user interface that facilitates seamless navigation through the tool functionalities and streamlines the formulation process. 
  • Customize your work: Reorganize and compare simulated combinations, easily edit and print then in a report for further use. 
  • Integrated in D’lite: Fully leverage the BASF ecosystem to enhance efficiency and innovation throughout your formulation development process. 

Access and Resources: 

  • The Sunscreen Simulator remains a free tool for all current available fundamental features. For those looking for more, a world of extra features awaits through a subscription model.

Our Sunscreen Simulator is an essential tool for sun care formulators and producers, driving innovation and efficiency in sunscreen development while ensuring high-quality, eco-conscious formulations.
