and improved SPF performance (12% and 25% increases, respectively) highlight surfactin’s role as a high-performance dispersant. Additionally, sensory evaluations reveal
superior texture and minimized white cast, improving consumer acceptability. By leveraging surfactin’s amphiphilic properties, this work provides a scientifically validated approach to formulating high-performance physical sunscreens of micron-sized UV filters in terms of efficacy, stability, and user experience. These findings establish a foundation for
developing next-generation sunscreen products with enhanced functionality and consumer appeal.
