Avobenzone

Product Description

Avobenzone is a globally recognized organic UV filter synthesized in our high-capacity facility to ensure peak stability and solar absorption efficiency. It functions through a specialized scientific mechanism of absorbing long-wave UVA rays (320-400 nm), converting harmful radiation into harmless heat to prevent photoaging and deep-tissue DNA damage. As the sun care market evolves toward high-SPF/PA formulations, our factory-direct Avobenzone provides the critical UVA protection foundation required for premium broad-spectrum cosmetic products.

Key Benefits & Applications

• Critical UVA Protection: Offers the broadest coverage of the UVA spectrum, essential for achieving high PA++++ ratings in sunscreens.
• Photoaging Prevention: Specifically targets rays responsible for wrinkles, loss of elasticity, and long-term sun-induced skin damage.
• Synergistic UV Shielding: Acts as the primary UVA anchor in daily moisturizers, anti-aging night creams, and sports-performance sunscreens.
• Global Compliance: Widely approved for use in all major markets, including the EU, USA, and China, with a high safety profile.

Formulation Guidelines

• Recommended Dosage: 1.0% – 5.0% (Note: Max 5.0% in China and EU; max 3.0% in the USA).
• Photostability Tip: Highly recommended to combine with photostabilizers (e.g., Octocrylene or Polyester-8) to prevent degradation under direct sunlight.
• Incompatibility: Avoid using in combination with mineral filters like Zinc Oxide or Titanium Dioxide unless they are specifically coated, to prevent complexation and loss of efficacy.
• Synergy: Combine with Phenylethyl Resorcinol to protect the brightening active from UV-induced degradation while simultaneously preventing new dark spots.
