Application
2-Ethylhexyl 2-cyano-3,3-diphenylacrylate, 97%, is a versatile ingredient predominantly used in sunscreen formulations for its ability to effectively absorb UVB rays, offering protection against sun damage. This clear yellow, viscous liquid with a mild characteristic odor is miscible with solvents like methanol, n-butanol, ethyl acetate, and various oils, while being immiscible in water. As an oil-soluble UVB filter, it not only enhances the sun protection factor (SPF) of skincare products but also contributes to their water-resistant properties by improving the photostability of other active ingredients. The molecular structure, with its extended conjugation, allows for absorption of short-wave UVA rays as well, further contributing to skin protection. While it offers significant benefits in boosting UV protection and water resistance, the cost and complexity of its formulation, along with potential allergenic responses in individuals with photoallergic skin conditions, present some challenges in its use. Nonetheless, 2-Ethylhexyl 2-cyano-3,3-diphenylacrylate remains a popular choice for enhancing the efficacy of sun care and cosmetic products.
