Common Name(s): Organic uv filter,uv absorbing sunscreen active,photoprotection
CAS Number: N/a
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Absorbs uva (320โ400 nm) and/or uvb (290โ320 nm) photons with a high molar extinction coefficient, dissipates absorbed energy as vibrational heat, and contributes to the formulation's spf and critical wavelength.
Why It's Used: Organic uv filters are selected for their high molar extinction coefficient (>10,000 l/mol/cm for most commercial filters), specific spectral coverage complementing other filters in the system, and photostability under prolonged uv exposure.
How It Works: Aromatic ฯโฯ* and nโฯ* electronic transitions absorb uv photons exciting the chromophore to a singlet excited state (sโ). ultra-fast internal conversion (10โปยนยฒโ10โปยนยน s) dissipates excitation energy as heat rather than photochemical reactions, returning the molecule to the ground state for continued absorption.

SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Organic uv filter photostability varies significantly โ avobenzone degrades rapidly alone but is stabilised by octocrylene (energy quenching) or triazine-class filters (direct stabilisation). filter combination selection must account for photostabilisation requirements of each component.
