Benzophenone-3 or Oxybenzone is an organic compound. It is a white solid that is readily soluble in most organic solvents. Oxybenzone belongs to the class of aromatic ketones known as benzophenones. It is a component of many sunscreen lotions.
Benzophenone-3 is a key ingredient in sunscreens and cosmetics. Its primary role is to protect the skin from the harmful effects of UV radiation. Benzophenone-3 absorbs UVB and some UVA rays, shielding the skin from sunburn and UV-induced damage. It is a popular choice in sunscreens due to its broad-spectrum UV protection capabilities. Additionally, Benzophenone-3 is used in various cosmetics like lip balms and moisturizers to provide UV protection and prevent sun damage, making it an essential component in the fight against skin aging and skin cancer caused by excessive sun exposure.
