SUNCARE

Natural sunscreen actives derived from botanical sources have gained significant attention in the cosmetics & personal care industry due to their eco-friendliness, skin compatibility, and ability to provide protection against harmful rays. Consumers are now more informed about suncare products and actively seek clean beauty alternatives

The suncare industry has seen exponential growth in the last five years, driven by increased awareness of the harmful effects of UV radiation. However, personal care brands face challenges in formulating high-performance sunscreen products that balance SPF properties, and UVA/UVB protection while maintaining aesthetic appeal and regulatory compliance.

Challenges in the Sun Care Industry One of the biggest hurdles is the limited sunscreen filters that can deliver high SPF and broad-spectrum protection without compromising on product texture. Many formulations require multiple sunscreen actives, which often lead to stickiness, poor spreadability, and heavy textures, affecting consumer experience. The industry is under constant pressure to innovate, ensuring products are both efficacious, safe, and cosmetically elegant without compromising on performance.

Mane Kancor’s Expertise in Natural Suncare Solutions

As a leading ingredient manufacturer in India, Mane Kancor focuses on natural sunscreen actives offered under its KANSHIELD range.

These actives improved the effectiveness and performance of sunscreen formulations when combined with traditional UV filters (both physical and chemical filters). Our high-performance ingredients allow suncare brands to create premium sunscreen formulations with reduced filters, ensuring lightweight textures, and superior skin feel.

KANSHIELD™, our botanical sunscreen ingredients range help meet the growing demand for sustainable, and clean-label formulations.

Kanshield™ Max is an all-natural ingredient that offers enhanced sun protection when formulated with chemical or physical filters.  Kanshield ™ Max improves the effectiveness of your sunscreen by increasing SPF, PFA, and Cw, while providing broad—spectrum protection. This ingredient is ideal to use with physical and chemical filters, while boosting the sun protection property of the formulation making it an ideal alternative to chemical sunscreen ingredients.

Kanshield™  is a blend of 3 extracts with the key ingredient being Pongamia Extract. While Pongamia is the main active component of Kanshield™, it is also patented for stabilisation of Avobenzone.

The use of this natural  Kanshield™ Max helps you achieve the safe sunscreen consumers are looking for.
