Widely used as a UV absorber in sunscreen products to protect the skin from harmful ultraviolet radiation, especially UVB rays. It helps prevent sunburn and long-term skin damage by stabilizing the formulation and absorbing UV light. Also incorporated into plastics, coatings, and adhesives to prevent degradation caused by sunlight exposure, extending the lifespan of materials. Its ability to resist photodegradation makes it effective in clear films and packaging where long-term clarity and strength are important. Commonly found in cosmetic formulations such as lipsticks, moisturizers, and hair sprays to protect both the product and the user from UV-induced damage.
