The original global gold standard
for UV-A protection

PARSOL® HS is a strong UV-B absorber especially suitable for
water-based transparent sunscreen products like gels or clear
sprays. It provides a tremendous SPF boost in combination
with a wide range of sun filters – not least our PARSOL® SLX
which allows for dry touch formulations.
An off-white powder, PARSOL® HS is water soluble on
neutralization.
Because it leaves the skin dry to the touch, PARSOL® HS is
specifically recommended for light feel day care products
and sunscreens.

PARSOL® HS is approved worldwide.
