Used primarily in cosmetic and skincare formulations for its UV-absorbing properties, this compound functions as a broad-spectrum sunscreen agent. It effectively absorbs UVB and short UVA rays, helping to prevent sun-induced skin damage and premature aging. Due to its chemical stability and compatibility with other ingredients, it is commonly incorporated into sunscreens, moisturizers, lip products, and anti-aging creams. Its ester-based structure contributes to good skin feel and low irritation potential, making it suitable for sensitive skin formulations. Additionally, it may enhance the photostability of other UV filters when used in combination, improving overall sunscreen performance.
