Sunscreen Secrets: What’s Really in Your Bottle?

Everyone uses sunscreen. But have you ever paused to ask — what’s actually protecting your skin from the sun? It’s not just lotion. It’s precision chemistry. Sunscreen is a sophisticated blend of physical and chemical agents that work together to block, absorb, and neutralize UV radiation. At Bharat Rasayan Limited (BRAS Chemicals), we specialize in the ingredients that make sunscreen smarter, smoother, and safer.

🔬 The Chemistry Behind Sunscreen

Sunscreen formulations typically rely on:
Physical blockers like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide to reflect UV rays

Chemical UV filters such as avobenzone, octinoxate, and octocrylene to absorb UV and convert it into heat

While BRAS Chemicals doesn’t produce the UV filters themselves, our ingredients are the unsung heroes that optimize the entire formula — making it stable, sensory-friendly, and skin-compatible.
