Ingredients Details
Avobenzone
Common Name(s): Parsol 1789,avobenzone
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides uva-i protection (340-400nm) critical for photoaging prevention — the only widely available chemical uva-i filter.
Why It's Used: The essential uva-i filter — avobenzone is the only commonly approved chemical filter providing protection in the photoaging-critical 340-400nm range essential for broad-spectrum sunscreen claims.
How It Works: Dibenzoylmethane chromophore absorbs uva-i (λmax 357nm, εmax ~36,000). photodegrades via photoisomerisation requiring photostabilisation (octocrylene, bemotrizinol) for durability.
Typically Found In: Broad-spectrum sunscreens,anti-aging spf products

SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Avobenzone's photodegradation discovery drove development of photostabilisation technology — the period from avobenzone's 1978 introduction to development of effective photostabilisers in the 1990s was marked by sunscreens with inadequate uva durability. bemotrizinol (tinosorb s) development provided the most elegant solution by providing a photostable molecule with equivalent uva coverage.
