Sanitrum's boron platform turns into research programs that reach the market through our own brand Syorell and our collaboration with Olimpum. One family of chemistry, protecting living systems from stress: in skin and in crops.
Climate change is lengthening UV exposure and driving skin-care demand. Mineral-filter demand rose +167% in five years, toward a $16B global market by 2031. Formulators need home-grown, multifunctional actives instead of costly imports.
Boric acid esterified at its cis-diol -OH positions with pyridoxine (B6), ascorbic acid (C) and hyaluronic acid, as mono/di calcium, zinc and sodium salts. 18 boron compounds synthesized and characterized (FT-IR, elemental, thermal, SC-XRD, GC-MS). Pyridoxine esters emerged strongest.
With zinc oxide's ~15% contribution excluded, boron esters raised SPF further, up to SPF 89 in a single active (mono-pyridoxine calcium). Non-cytotoxic on skin fibroblasts; strong antioxidant activity; cytoprotective against UVA/UVB photoaging with positive effects on collagen.
Five lead actives selected and formulated as SPF 50+ prototypes, ready for formula adaptation and pilot production and available as raw materials to manufacturers. Target markets: United States, Asia and Australia.
Laboratory-validated prototypes, patent-stage. No prior patent or commercial product exists for boron bioactives in UV protection, a first for this application. Ready for formula adaptation and pilot production; not yet in market.
Boron has the narrowest safe range of any plant nutrient: the gap between deficiency and toxicity is very small, so conventional boron carries real over-dose risk. And not all zinc in tissue is active, zinc bound in synthetic chelates is pH-sensitive, so total zinc can read high while available zinc runs low.
Boron is essential for pollination and fertilization, required for pollen germination and pollen-tube growth, and for fruit set. Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) is a proven plant antioxidant and abiotic-stress protectant. We combine boron and zinc on a pyridoxine-based carrier.
Under drought and abiotic stress, the fluid in a plant's xylem becomes more alkaline (a rise in pH), a documented signal that alters how pH-sensitive chelates behave. Our complex is designed to keep boron and zinc bioavailable through these shifts, with less of the energy cost of cleaving synthetic chelators. Under validation.
Filed as patent application 2025/014197 with the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office; controlled cold and heat trials against control groups in design. Delivered through Olimpum, a Bursa crop-nutrition manufacturer, 125+ products, 60+ countries.
Established, peer-reviewed: boron's role in pollination and fruit set, and vitamin B6 as a plant antioxidant. The carrier-delivery advantage over synthetic chelates is our design hypothesis, under validation, shared in detail under NDA.
Sanitrum already develops and manufactures eco-respecting formulas that protect both skin and the ecosystem, brought to market through Syorell. This is the commercial track record behind the science, a company that turns firsts into products.
The EU-innovation-award zinc-oxide mineral UV filter, first adopted in Türkiye by Syorell in the Sunique series, a pioneering move worldwide.
The first brand in Türkiye to bring this active to people with sun sensitivity and photodermatoses.
Uniting daily skincare and broad-spectrum sun protection in a single, eco-conscious formula.
Listed by the US-based EWG among the cleanest Turkish sunscreens; ISO 9001 and Leaping Bunny certified.
Sanitrum holds patented, laboratory-validated chemistry, a first in applying boron to prevent UV damage and help reverse the damage already done, with agricultural applications too. Our own brand Syorell is already in market, and we collaborate with Olimpum in agriculture. We would be glad to present our project to investors interested in these groundbreaking inventions, and we are open to investment, collaboration and partnership.
