Usage

General Description

2-(4-Hydroxyphenethylamino)-1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propan-1-one, also known as oxybenzone, is a chemical compound commonly used as a UV filter in sunscreens and other cosmetic products. It is known for its ability to absorb and dissipate UV radiation, protecting the skin from the harmful effects of the sun. However, concerns have been raised about oxybenzone’s potential negative effects on human health and the environment. Studies have suggested that oxybenzone may disrupt hormone levels, cause allergic reactions, and harm coral reefs. As a result, some countries and organizations have restricted the use of oxybenzone in sunscreens and other products. Further research is needed to fully understand the possible risks associated with this chemical.
