Univar Solutions B.V., a subsidiary of Univar Solutions LLC, a leading global solutions provider to users of specialty ingredients and chemicals, has entered a sole distribution agreement with Vizor Sun Holdings Limited (VIZOR), to distribute VIZOR's sun care ingredients to beauty and personal care customers in Europe.
VIZOR's zinc oxide powders and dispersions will allow customers to develop the highest and most transparent SPF formulations with mineral-based sunscreen in Europe.
James Peterson, Univar Solutions' global vice president of Care, said,
"We are thrilled that VIZOR selected Univar Solutions as its sole distribution partner for Super Zinc powders and dispersion products in Europe. This partnership not only significantly expands our range of sun care ingredients for beauty and personal care purposes, but also demonstrates our commitment to technical innovation ‒ supporting customers who are looking to formulate with top-quality, natural, and eco-friendly ingredients.”
Yannick Rigg, a founding member of VIZOR, commented,
"VIZOR's zinc oxide powders and dispersions, backed by patented technology, provide the highest SPF in the industry with outstanding aesthetics. This breakthrough enables formulators to finally create transparent, luxurious products using non-nano particle sizes.”
Super Zinc is a non-nano inorganic UV filter. As part of the agreement, Univar Solutions offers application development support in Europe to help customers develop new products using these ingredients.
These API-grade filters are made with an advanced material coating technology and can produce higher SPFs with lower use levels than current commercial zinc oxides. Less zinc oxide means less whitening, which translates to greater transparency on the darkest skin.
The agreement includes Andorra, Austria, Germany, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Malta, Montenegro, Poland, and Switzerland.
