Description
Oxybenzone, also known as Benzophenone-3, is a chemical compound belonging to the family of benzophenones. It is widely utilized in sunscreen products for its ability to absorb ultraviolet (UV) radiation, particularly UVA and UVB rays. Oxybenzone functions by forming a protective barrier on the skin, where it absorbs and dissipates UV rays, thereby reducing the risk of sunburn and skin damage. 
Use
In the cosmetic industry, oxybenzone serves as a key ingredient in sunscreen formulations to enhance their sun protection factor (SPF). It is often combined with other UV filters, such as avobenzone, octocrylene, and octinoxate, to provide broad-spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB rays.
Applications
Oxybenzone is incorporated into various sunscreen products, including lotions, creams, sprays, and sticks, to help prevent sunburn and minimize the harmful effects of UV radiation on the skin. It is applied topically to exposed skin areas before sun exposure and should be reapplied regularly, especially after swimming or sweating, to maintain effective sun protection. However, there have been concerns raised about oxybenzone's potential environmental and health impacts, leading to regulatory scrutiny and the development of alternative UV filters.
