Used as a UV absorber in cosmetic formulations and skincare products, particularly in sunscreens and anti-aging creams. It helps protect the skin from harmful ultraviolet radiation by stabilizing the formulation and preventing UV-induced degradation of active ingredients. Also employed in transparent plastic and coating materials to enhance photostability and prolong product lifespan under sunlight exposure. Its antioxidant properties contribute to reducing oxidative stress in topical applications, supporting skin health and preventing premature aging.
