Features:

Benefits:

-Broad-Spectrum UVA Protection: Avobenzone effectively absorbs UVA rays (320-400 nm), protecting against long-term skin damage, aging, and skin cancer risks associated with UVA exposure.
-Skin-Friendly: Generally well-tolerated by most skin types, including sensitive skin, without causing irritation when used at standard concentrations.
-Easily Formulated in Oil-Based Products: Its oil solubility makes it versatile for inclusion in a variety of cosmetic and sunscreen products, including creams, lotions, and oil-based serums.
-Compatible with Other UV Filters: When combined with UVB filters, avobenzone provides broad-spectrum protection, covering both UVA and UVB ranges.
-Photo-Enhanced Formulation Potential: Stabilizers like octocrylene or Tinosorb S can enhance avobenzone’s stability, extending its protection duration under sunlight exposure.
-Anti-Aging Benefits: By blocking UVA rays, avobenzone helps to prevent premature signs of aging like fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation.
-Lightweight Feel: Avobenzone can be formulated in products with a smooth, lightweight feel, making it ideal for daily wear without a heavy residue.

-Moisturizers and Foundations with SPF: Added in formulations that offer sun protection benefits.

Recommended Usage Rate: 2-3% in formulations, depending on local regulations.

Formulation Guidelines:
-Maximum Allowable Concentration: EU: Maximum of 5% in cosmetic products, US (FDA): Maximum of 3% in sunscreen products, Japan: Allowed up to 10% in sunscreen formulations.
-Note on Combination with Other Filters: Avobenzone is often combined with other UV filters to stabilize its efficacy and enhance broad-spectrum protection. Without stabilizers like octocrylene or Tinosorb S, avobenzone can degrade in sunlight, reducing effectiveness.
-Processing Temperature: It’s best to keep the temperature below 85°C when incorporating avobenzone to prevent degradation.
-Stability Considerations: Avobenzone is photosensitive and can degrade when exposed to sunlight. To improve stability, pair it with photostabilizers like octocrylene, bemotrizinol (Tinosorb S), or ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate. Formulations should be kept in UV-protective packaging when possible to limit exposure. Stable in formulations with a pH of 6-8. Higher or lower pH levels can destabilize avobenzone.
-Avoid using with mineral filters like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, as these can destabilize avobenzone unless specially formulated for compatibility.
