ROTTERDAM, Netherlands, July 9, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Univar Solutions B.V., a subsidiary of Univar
Solutions LLC (Univar Solutions" or "the Company"), a leading
global solutions provider to users of specialty ingredients and
chemicals, today announced 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 actives
in Europe.
Univar Solutions strengthens sun care
portfolio with VIZOR® Super Zinc® powders and dispersions.
"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," shared James
Peterson, Univar Solutions' global vice president of
Care.
As consumers seek the best ways to protect their skin from the
sun's damaging UV rays, Univar Solutions continues to build its
portfolio of innovative and sustainable solutions for sun care and
daily wear products. Partnering with VIZOR, Univar Solutions now
offers Super Zinc — non-nano inorganic UV filters, as well as
application development support in Europe to help customers develop new products
using these ingredients. The 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 even the darkest skin.
"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," said Yannick Rigg, a founding member of
VIZOR.
With 100 years of ingredients and distribution expertise, Univar
Solutions' specialized beauty and personal care team support sun,
skin, and beauty care customers with tailored products, services,
and sustainable solutions. The Company works closely with customers
and supplier partners every step of the way, offering a global
transportation network, supply chain solutions, and product
development and brand support at its Solution Centers with

prioritize environmental protection, and Super Zinc filters have

testing. Discover more about Univar Solutions' eco-friendly beauty
