Challenges in Formulating Skincare
Formulating skincare products, especially sunscreens, can be challenging due to limitations on UV filters, complex issues with stability, and regulatory constraints. In the US, formulators face restrictions on UV filter choices and concentrations. Additionally, creating sunscreens with high UVA protection is difficult. Other products like cleansers may require careful consideration of surfactant concentrations and ingredients to ensure efficacy and user acceptance.
