Ingredients Details
Benzophenone-3
Common Name(s): Oxybenzone,2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone,uva+uvb filter
CAS Number: 131-57-7
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides combined uva and uvb filtration in a single chemical uv filter molecule.
Why It's Used: Combined uva+uvb filter historically used for broad-spectrum coverage in a single ingredient, now increasingly restricted.
How It Works: Benzophenone chromophore absorbs uvb (305nm) and uva-ii (326nm) via two separate nโฯ* transitions. water-soluble allows aqueous phase formulation. single filter providing partial broad-spectrum coverage.
Typically Found In: Sunscreens (being phased out in many markets)
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Active ingredient โ chemical uva/uvb filter
Secondary Functions: Skin conditioning
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: Up to 6% (eu), 6% (us fda)
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes โ synthetic
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Commercially produced for cosmetic use. verify vegan/halal status with supplier.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 โ non-comedogenic
Sensitivity Concerns: Well-tolerated by most skin types.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Eu max 6%. coral reef/aquatic toxicity โ banned hawaii, palau, some us states. potential endocrine activity at high systemic exposure. ewg score: 7. use declining due to regulatory pressure.
Works Well With: Standard skincare actives
Avoid Combining With: No known significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Benzophenone-3's declining use reflects evolving understanding of environmental and endocrine impacts: discovered in coral bleaching studies, its restriction in hawaii (2018) sparked a global trend in marine-safe sunscreen formulations that is reshaping the industry away from bp-3 toward mineral filters and marine-safer organic alternatives.

Octocrylene
Common Name(s): 2-ethylhexyl 2-cyano-3,3-diphenylacrylate
CAS Number: 6197-30-4
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides uvb-uva-ii uv protection and essential avobenzone photostabilisation.
Why It's Used: The essential combination partner โ octocrylene's dual uv filter + avobenzone photostabilisation function makes it virtually irreplaceable for durable broad-spectrum chemical sunscreens requiring uva-i coverage.
How It Works: Cyanocinnamate chromophore absorbs uvb-uva-ii (ฮปmax 303nm). triplet energy transfer from excited avobenzone to octocrylene photostabilises avobenzone (>90% efficiency at 3:1 avobenzone:octocrylene ratio). hydrophobic character enhances water resistance.
Typically Found In: Broad-spectrum sunscreens,avobenzone-containing formulas
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Active ingredient โ uv filter and photostabiliser
Secondary Functions: Skin conditioning
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare

Typical Concentration Range: Up to 10% (eu), 10% (us fda)
SOURCING & ETHICS

SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 โ non-comedogenic
Sensitivity Concerns: Well-tolerated by most skin types.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Eu max 10%. fda: 10%. ewg score: 3. recent benzophenone impurity concerns from aged product hydrolysis under study.
Works Well With: Standard skincare actives
Avoid Combining With: No known significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Octocrylene's triplet energy transfer photostabilisation of avobenzone operates via a dexter electron exchange mechanism: excited-state avobenzone (triplet) transfers excitation energy to octocrylene via orbital overlap, allowing avobenzone to return to its ground state uv-absorbing form without photodegradation. this energy transfer is only efficient at close molecular proximity โ requiring intimate mixing of the two compounds in the formulation oil phase.
