Highly effective sun protection solution–Octocrylene

Octocrylene is becoming a popular product for consumers and manufacturers in today’s skin care and sun protection products due to its excellent performance and versatility. This widely used compound not only effectively absorbs UV rays, but also plays an important role as a stabilizer in product formulations.

What is Octocrylene？

INCI: Octocrylene

CAS 6197-30-4

Octocrylene CAS 6197-30-4 is a widely used organic compound in the cosmetics and personal care industry, primarily as a UV filter and stabilizer in sunscreen formulations. It helps to absorb UVB radiation and provides protection against sunburn.

Why use Octocrylene?

Unique advantages of Octocrylene

Highly effective sunscreen performance: Octocrylene is a high-quality UV absorber, mainly used in sunscreens, which can effectively absorb UVA and UVB to protect the skin from the damage of solar radiation. It helps prevent sunburn, photoaging and other problems, so that the skin can stay healthy even in the sun. Studies have shown that the continued use of sunscreen products containing Octocrylene can significantly reduce the risk of skin cancer and premature aging.

Enhanced formula stability: In sunscreen products, Octocrylene not only provides UV protection, but also improves the stability of other ingredients to prevent decomposition caused by light and temperature changes. This allows sunscreen products to maintain their effectiveness in various environments and ensure that users receive continuous protection. In addition, the synergistic effect of Octocrylene with other sunscreens can enhance the overall protection effect and make the product stand out in a highly competitive market.

Lightweight texture: Octocrylene has good spreadability and skin absorption, making skin care products containing this ingredient easier to apply without leaving a sticky feeling. When using it, consumers can enjoy a refreshing experience without having to worry about the product being thick or greasy. This lightweight texture makes Octocrylene perfect for use in summer or hot climates to leave skin feeling refreshed.

Application in skin care

As people become more aware of skin protection, skin care products containing Octocrylene are favored by more and more consumers. Whether it is sunscreen, daily skin care products, or post-swimming skin care products, Octocrylene can play its unique role and become an essential ingredient for daily skin care.

In addition, the application of Octocrylene in color cosmetics is also increasing. Many color cosmetics brands have begun to add Octocrylene to their foundation, air cushion and concealer to enhance the sun protection effect of the products. This not only helps consumers save time, but also provides a more convenient daily skin care solution.

Issues of concern

Is octocrylene safe in sunscreen?

Octocrylene alone does not cause photosensitivity, and allergies to this ingredient in sunscreen products are extremely rare. Some cases of hypersensitivity (photosensitivity) and transient skin irritation due to exposure to sunlight have been observed at higher concentrations of octocrylene.

According to the European Commission (CSSC), octocrylene is not considered a photoallergen, or even an allergen.

The use and concentration of octocrylene in our sunscreen products are carefully controlled to avoid any potential impact on the aquatic environment.

What is a safe amount of octocrylene?

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) evaluated the safety of octocrylene for use in sunscreen products and found that concentrations of up to 10% are safe. The European Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) also stated that octocrylene is safe in products containing concentrations of no more than 10%.

What does octocrylene do to your skin?

Octocrylene protects the skin from sun damage, prevents premature aging of the skin, and helps reduce the potential risk of skin cancer. This sunscreen primarily absorbs UVB and shorter wavelength UVA rays, which are associated with skin aging and skin cancer.

How to use Octocrylene?

The concentrations of octocrylene we use comply with the various regulations currently in force in the cosmetics industry. We optimize the concentration of this filter depending on the combination with other filters, the targeted sun protection effect, the desired sensory effect and the goals of the product. Octocrylene is essential for stabilizing avobenzone: their combined use ensures maximum performance (UVA + UVB coverage).
