Used primarily as an ultraviolet (UV) absorber in sunscreens and cosmetic formulations. It effectively absorbs UVB radiation, helping to protect the skin from sun damage and reduce the risk of sunburn. Commonly found in lotions, creams, and sprays due to its ability to remain stable under sunlight and blend well with other ingredients. Also used in some plastics and coatings to prevent UV degradation, extending the life of materials exposed to sunlight.
