Used primarily in sunscreen and skincare products, this chemical absorbs ultraviolet (UV) radiation, particularly in the UVB range, helping to prevent sunburn and long-term skin damage. It is valued for its ability to stabilize other UV filters in formulations, enhancing the overall effectiveness of sun protection. Due to its oil-soluble nature, it blends well into lotions and creams, providing a non-greasy feel. Commonly found in daily wear sunscreens, lip balms, and moisturizers with SPF, it contributes to broad-spectrum protection when combined with UVA-absorbing ingredients.
