Description
EsseSol Mineral Filter – High-Performance Titanium Dioxide Dispersion, Broad Spectrum Sun Protection
EsseSol is a 100% mineral/physical sun filter in paste form, easy to integrate into formulas. Designed using advanced titanium dioxide dispersion technology, it offers exceptional sun protection against ultraviolet radiation (UVA and UVB), while reducing the drawbacks of classic mineral filters: heavy feel and pronounced, unsightly white cast.
Thanks to the uniform dispersion of particles in an aqueous medium, EsseSol allows for the creation of elegant, lightweight solar formulas with optimal finish and skin tolerance, making it ideal even for sensitive, reactive skin.
Ingredients (INCI): Titanium Dioxide, Aqua, Polyglyceryl-2 Caprate, Sucrose Stearate, Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil, Stearic Acid, Alumina, Glyceryl Caprylate, Squalane.
Technical Characteristics
- Filter Type: Mineral / physical, broad spectrum protection UVA + UVB.
- Appearance: White paste with neutral odor.
- Active Substance: Approximately 50% solid content.
- Optimal pH Range: pH 6.0 - 7.5
- General Dosage: 5% - 25% depending on the targeted sun protection factor.
- Approvals: Compatible with COSMOS / Ecocert standards for natural cosmetics.
Properties and Benefits
- Broad Spectrum Protection (UVA, UVB): Effectively blocks and reflects both UVB radiation (responsible for sunburns) and UVA radiation (responsible for premature skin aging and hyperpigmentation).
- Sensory Profile, Aesthetics: High transparency on the skin, low whitening effect, non-sticky dry-down.
- Simplified Processing: Being a pre-homogenized dispersion, it eliminates the need for intensive processing.
- Dermatological Profile: Does not penetrate the deep layers of the epidermis, acting as a protective shield on the skin surface. It is hypoallergenic and non-irritating, ideal for skin with rosacea, acne, or for sensitive baby skin.
- Anti-Photoaging: Prevents the formation of free radicals induced by solar radiation, protecting the skin's collagen matrix.
Applications
- Moisturizing day creams and urban protection serums with SPF.
- Lotions, creamy sprays, and sun milks.
- Sun protection formulations designed for children and babies.
- Photoprotective makeup products, fluid foundations.
Formulation Guide
- Procedure: Being a water-based dispersion, EsseSol is added to the water phase before emulsification or during the cooling/finishing phase, under continuous agitation.
- Pre-homogenization: The product must be thoroughly mixed in its container before use to redistribute any potential natural sediment.
- Combinations: Can be used as the sole active ingredient to create high SPF, broad-spectrum sun protection formulas. It can be combined with zinc oxide powder or dispersion for complex formulations.
- General Dosage: 5% - 25%
- Stability: Optimal pH of the cosmetic product is between 6.0 and 7.5.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How does EsseSol differ from powder Titanium Dioxide?
Mineral powders are difficult to disperse uniformly in an artisanal laboratory setting, tending to agglomerate into microscopic clumps. This leads to uneven sun protection and a heavy white cast. EsseSol is a pre-processed professional liquid dispersion where TiO2 particles are already finely separated and coated in natural stabilizing agents. Thus, an even SPF, far superior transparency, and effortless application are achieved.
How much EsseSol should I add to my recipe to achieve an adequate protection factor?
The SPF of a sun protection product largely depends on the overall formulation, making it impossible to state an exact percentage of filter that guarantees a precise result. As a guideline, 1% EsseSol provides approximately 1-1.5 SPF units.
Safety in Use and Storage
Safety Profile: Mineral ingredient approved for natural cosmetics, with good skin tolerance.
Precautions: For external cosmetic use only. Avoid direct contact with eyes. Keep out of reach of children.
Storage: Store in tightly closed packaging, in a dry and cool place.

Want to give a try to making my own suncare products. Would love to be able to measure the final spf of the product. Great that there are no nano-TiO2.
Water-based mineral UV filter designed for the preparation of sunscreen products at the beach, especially for sensitive skin. Combines an exceptional level of UVA protection with high efficacy against UVB rays. Easy to use, feels light and elegant on the skin. Non-nano.
I am very pleased with this product. I have been using sunscreens made with this product all summer. I am very happy for this natural alternative!
A sun filter simple to use and practically the best non-nano plus water resistant filter I will definitely buy more
Very happy that I bought it, I still use other creams but can't wait to use it, I'm fed up with commercially available barrier creams, I find a drawback with each one. What I have gotten so far, made with products from here, are wonderful!
I also have to add a bit of color pigment when using it in a cream, as it whitens it a bit, but I'm very pleased that we can make our own creams for myself and my family, especially sunscreen ones.
I HAVE BEEN USING IT FOR MANY YEARS AND I AM VERY SATISFIED.MY SKIN DOES NOT SUPPORT CHEMICAL FILTERS IN COMMERCIAL SPF-URILE CHEMICAL FILTERS. WITH IT I HAVE NEVER HAD PROBLEMS WITH REDNESS OR SENSITIZATION. BOTH THAT WHITENS AND SHOULD ALWAYS FORMULATE A CREAM COLORED AS SPF. MAYBE BRING SOMETHING ELSE THAT DOES NOT ALWAYS REQUIRE COLORING THE CREAM, SUCH AS THE NEW ZINC SUSPENSIONS.
I like that it doesn't whiten the skin that much, at 22% it comes out as a very nice and discreet BB cream on the skin.
I used the product in a sunscreen. It's effective and gives quite a lot of coverage. It is not noticeable on very fair complexions, for people with more intense skin pigment it also requires the addition of specific coloring pigments.
This product is very good in sunscreen products, but also in BB creams. I recommend
I've been using it for a few years to make sunscreen. Compared to other mineral filters it doesn't leave very visible traces, it provides excellent protection.
The beach cream made according to the recipe on the website is very effective. It leaves no white film like mineral sunscreens.
Compared to products made with zinc oxide and titanium dioxide sunscreens, this product doesn't leave as much white streaks.
It is very good in spf 30 and spf50 sun protection recipes. It does not leave a very visible white film on the skin
I have used this ingredient in the preparation of different hair care products and I have been happy with the result.
This is the second year I've used it to prepare sunscreen creams. This time I chose the gel with a finer texture than the cream. It leaves a slightly whitish film on the face, but it's very good and practical.
Besides titanium paste I use it to make face creams and I'm about to try a sunscreen recipe. It is very good!
I don't know what I'd do without Essesol! I've yet to find a sunscreen as complete and effective as this. Whatever it is, I'm not giving it up 😁
This product must not be missing from your product shelf. In the compositions combined with ferulic acid it increases the degree of protection. Very good considering it protects from uva but also uvb.
