Oxybenzone or benzophenone-3 is an organic compound. It is a pale-yellow solid that is readily soluble in most organic solvents. Oxybenzone belongs to the class of aromatic ketones known as benzophenones.
Benzophenone ingredients absorb and dissipate UV radiation, which serves to protect cosmetics and personal care products. As part of sunscreen products Benzophenone-4 (Sulisobenzone) protect the skin from the harmful effects of the sun.
Uses. Benzophenone can be used as a photo initiator in UV-curing applications such as inks, imaging, and clear coatings in the printing industry. Benzophenone prevents ultraviolet (UV) light from damaging scents and colors in products such as perfumes and soaps.
Benzophenone-3 is an advance technology product for skin protection.It is a sun filter using advance UV protection technology which acts both natural and organic UV absorber. It is Benzopheonone 3 based Benzophenone low melting point.
Benzophenone-3 is highly efficient sun protector due to its action as UV absorption by photo stable organic molecule,light scattering and light reflection by its micro-fine structure. The absorption Profile for Benzophenone-3 demonstrate a consistently high level of protection to be maintained during solar exposure. Benzophenone-3 Provides additional enhancements for personal care formulation over conventional materials. Free radical production is reduced with Benzophenone-3
photo-stable,giving long lasting protection from UV-A and UV-B Minimizes free radicals-3.It provides broad band protection against UV-A and UV-B radiation.
Benzophenone-3 is easily incorporated in to various cosmetic and personal care formulation due to its excellent solubility in the oil phase
