At the beginning of the second quarter of 2023, the Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) reported hot extreme weather happening in Indonesia. The root cause is unusual atmospheric dynamics, which recorded 37.2 degrees maximum temperature in certain regions. The weather and the UV Index also reached an extreme hazard risk level.
During the hot extreme weather, using sunscreen is highly advisable by doctors. It is to avoid UVA and UVB radiation that could harm the skin and cause sunburn to premature aging. Moreover, regularly using sunscreen can help to reduce the risk of skin cancer, including melanoma.

However, recent studies raised concerns about the impact of chemical substances in sunscreens on coral reefs. Combined with the effects of global climate change, the pollution burden faced by coral reefs poses a threat to their ecological being. Cosmetic manufacturers responded to this concern through several approaches. It includes removing certain chemicals, using minimal amounts of UV filters with enhanced performance, and researching biodegradable derivatives.
Cosmetic manufacturers also discovered SPF (Sun Protection Factor) Booster, which can enhance sun protection and broad-spectrum coverage with lower amounts of UV filters. SPF Booster works by dissolving solid UV filters and inorganic particles. It also helps improve UV absorption coverage, resulting in higher SPF numbers.
Some commonly used SPF Boosters are titanium dioxide (TiO2) and zinc oxide (ZnO). These ingredients remain stable under UV rays exposure and have an excellent safety profile, making them suitable for products intended for sensitive skin and babies. Therefore, SPF Booster makes providing a sunscreen product that is kind to the skin and the environment possible.
