Avobenzone: The Gold Standard for Broad-Spectrum UVA Protection

What is Avobenzone?

Avobenzone, also known as Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, is a highly effective chemical sunscreen agent widely used in personal care products. It provides broad-spectrum UVA protection, shielding the skin from long-wave ultraviolet rays (320–400 nm) that contribute to skin aging, hyperpigmentation, and an increased risk of skin cancer.

Renowned for its efficacy and compatibility, Avobenzone is a cornerstone ingredient in many modern sunscreen formulations.

Key Features of Avobenzone

• Broad-Spectrum UVA Protection: Absorbs UVA rays effectively, offering comprehensive protection against photoaging and long-term sun damage.

• Photostability with Stabilizers: While naturally prone to degradation under sunlight, Avobenzone’s stability is enhanced when combined with stabilizers like Octocrylene.

• Compatibility: Works well with other UV filters to provide full-spectrum sun protection.

• Non-Greasy: Lightweight and suitable for all skin types, including oily and sensitive skin.

• Regulatory Approval: Approved for use in personal care products in regions including the US, EU, and Asia.
