Description

Octocrylene is a high-performance organic UV filter widely recognized for its efficacy in absorbing UVB and short-wave UVA rays. Its primary value lies in providing photostable, broad-spectrum protection, making it a cornerstone ingredient for formulating durable sun care and cosmetic products. This compound is essential for manufacturers in the personal care, sunscreen, and cosmetic industries seeking to enhance product stability and skin safety. Its compatibility with other organic and inorganic filters allows for versatile formulation of high-SPF products.

Application

• Broad-Spectrum Sunscreens: A key active ingredient in sun care products (SPF lotions, creams, sprays) for absorbing UVB and UVA II radiation.
• Daily Wear & Anti-Aging Cosmetics: Incorporated into day creams, foundations, BB creams, and moisturizers to provide daily UV protection.
• Hair Care Products: Used in shampoos, conditioners, and styling products to protect hair color and protein structure from UV-induced damage.
• Lip Care Formulations: An essential component in lip balms and sticks to protect the delicate lip area from sun exposure.
• Decorative Cosmetics: Added to makeup products like powders and compacts to increase their photostability and shelf life.
• After-Sun & Skincare Products: Supports skin recovery in after-sun lotions and is used in products designed for sensitive or photo-sensitive skin.
