Avobenzone is a widely used, broad-spectrum sunscreen ingredient known for its ability to protect the skin from the full spectrum of ultraviolet (UV) radiation, including both UVA and UVB rays. As a photostable compound, it maintains its effectiveness over time, offering long-lasting protection against sun-induced skin damage. Avobenzone is often incorporated into sunscreens, moisturizers, and other skincare products to prevent sunburn, premature aging, and skin cancer caused by UV exposure. It works by absorbing UV rays and converting them into harmless heat, which is then released from the skin. Due to its effectiveness in preventing photoaging and maintaining skin health, Avobenzone is a preferred choice for high-performance sunscreens and sun protection products.

Introduction |
There are many types of ultraviolet absorbers, among which benzone ultraviolet absorbers are widely used and have great practical research value. Avobenzone belongs to benzone UV absorbers and is also an important organic synthesis intermediate. |
Function |
UVA protection: Avobenzone can absorb ultraviolet rays of UVA I, UVA II, and UVB wavelengths, thereby limiting the impact of ultraviolet rays on the skin. Especially, it can absorb UVA in all wavelength bands (approximately 315 to 400 nanometers), with the highest absorption rate for UVA at a wavelength of 357 nanometers. Light stability: Avobenzone may be unstable under sunlight, but through a reasonable formulation strategy, its light stability can be improved and its absorption capacity in sunscreen films can be maintained. Broad spectrum protection: Avobenzone provides true broad-spectrum protection, capable of withstanding UVA wavelengths greater than 360 nanometers. Synergistic effect with other ingredients: Avobenzone can be used in combination with other sunscreen ingredients such as zinc oxide (ZnO) and titanium dioxide (TiO2) to provide a more comprehensive sun protection effect. Endocrine disruptors: Avobenzone is a dibenzoylmethane endocrine disruptor that can directly bind to the estrogen receptor beta and act as an estrogen agonist. |
Application |
Sunscreen products: Avobenzone, as a sunscreen agent, is widely used in various sunscreen products to provide light protection for the skin, especially for the UVA band. Broad spectrum protection: It can absorb ultraviolet rays of UVA I, UVA II, and UVB wavelengths, providing broad-spectrum protection. Research on pharmaceuticals and cosmetics: Avobenzone is used as a research object in the field of pharmaceuticals and cosmetics to explore its effects on human skin cells. For example, in vitro studies have shown that Avobenzone significantly promotes fat production and inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis in human trophoblast cells. |
