NORTHVALE, NJ, October 15, 2009 - TRI-K Industries is pleased to announce the launch of a full range of organic sunscreens to the US market. From TRI-K's parent company, Galaxy Surfactants, the line is made up of five widely used organic sunscreens offering broad range UVA and UVB protection. Products in the line include GalSORB Benzophenone-3, GalSORB Benzophenone-4, GalSORB Avobenzone, GalSORB OMC and GalSORB Octocrylene.

UV radiation is responsible for various negative effects on the skin and hair. Sunburn, premature aging, wrinkles and increased risk of skin cancer are all attributable to UV exposure, along with brittleness of hair and color fading. Organic sunscreens are an important tool for eliminating the risks of sun exposure. Used together, or in combination with titanium dioxide, organic sunscreens offer safe and effective, high SPF, broad spectrum UV protection for sun care and daily wear applications.

These products are an important expansion of a key segment of the TRI-K product offering, complementing their existing range of UV-TITAN titanium dioxide powders and other ancillary sun care actives for a complete portfolio of UV protection.
