Application

2-Hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone serves as a crucial component in sunscreen and cosmetic formulations due to its ability to absorb ultraviolet (UV) radiation. This organic compound, commonly known as oxybenzone, is an FDA-approved UV filter that effectively absorbs both UVB and UVA II rays. By undergoing photochemical excitation, it captures UV energy and emits longer wavelength radiation, thus minimizing skin penetration and reducing the risk of DNA damage. This makes it an essential ingredient for protecting the skin from harmful UV exposure.
