Usage

General Description

(±)-4-(2-methylbutyl)phenyl 4'-(hexyloxy)benzoate, also known as octyl methoxycinnamate, is a chemical compound commonly used in sunscreen and cosmetic products as a UV filter. It is a clear, viscous liquid with a mild odor, and is typically used to protect the skin from harmful UVB rays. Octyl methoxycinnamate absorbs UV radiation and prevents it from penetrating into the skin, helping to reduce the risk of sunburn and skin damage. However, there is some concern about its potential for skin irritation and allergic reactions in certain individuals, so it is important to use products containing this chemical with caution and according to the manufacturer's instructions.
