Korean Sunscreen OEM Manufacturer THEONE Cosmetic Launches BASF EcoSun Pass-Certified Sunscreen

THEONE Cosmetic has successfully developed, manufactured, and commercially launched a BASF EcoSun Pass-certified sunscreen. The finished product received official approval to display the EcoSun Pass label, demonstrating that its UV filter system meets BASF’s environmental evaluation requirements.

For THEONE Cosmetic, this is more than a laboratory development. It is a completed commercial project that combines sunscreen performance, environmental consideration, official certification, and actual market launch.

1. Why BASF EcoSun Pass Matters

Sunscreen protects the skin from UVA and UVB exposure, but part of the product may enter seawater during swimming and other outdoor activities. This has increased concern about the potential impact of UV filters on marine ecosystems, aquatic organisms, and sensitive environments such as coral reefs.

BASF EcoSun Pass evaluates the complete UV filter system used in a sunscreen rather than judging the product only by the exclusion of one controversial ingredient. The evaluation considers factors such as biodegradation, aquatic toxicity, environmental persistence, bioaccumulation potential, endocrine disruption potential, and UV protection efficiency.

The sunscreen developed by THEONE Cosmetic successfully completed this evaluation and received authorization to carry the official EcoSun Pass label. This gives the product a clearer technical basis for eco-friendly, marine-conscious, and coral-conscious positioning than unsupported claims such as “reef-friendly.”

2. Environmental Performance Must Work with Consumer Experience

An eco-friendly sunscreen still needs to perform well on the skin. Changing the UV filter combination can affect texture, spreadability, oiliness, white cast, absorption, stability, and packaging compatibility.

For this reason, THEONE Cosmetic reviewed environmental positioning together with UV protection, formulation stability, and commercial usability. The completed product shows that an environmentally evaluated UV filter system can be translated into a sunscreen suitable for real manufacturing and consumer use.

3. Proven Sunscreen OEM/ODM Development Experience
