(PRESS RELEASE) HOLZMINDEN, 9-Jul-2024 — /EuropaWire/ — Symrise, a pioneer in sun protection filters since 1938, is marking its significant contributions to the industry as part of its “150 shades of innovation” campaign, celebrating the 150th anniversary of the first patent by founding father Wilhelm Haarmann. The company has been at the forefront of sun care innovation, delivering groundbreaking products and ingredients for over 70 years.

From the first patent for a UV filter in 1938 to today’s advanced sun protection solutions, Symrise has consistently driven product innovation and met consumer demands. The company’s expertise extends beyond traditional ultraviolet radiation defense, offering a comprehensive portfolio that includes protection from UVA, UVB, infrared, visible, and blue light.

“Innovation is the cornerstone of our industry, pushing us to create cutting-edge sun care products that protect and nourish the skin,” said Timothy Kenny, Global President Cosmetic Ingredients at Symrise. This summer, the company is focusing on sun protection in its “150 shades of innovation” campaign, highlighting its industry-shaping innovations and the diverse needs of global customers.
