Octocrylene is an ingredient used in sunscreens for its ability to absorb UV rays, protecting the skin from sun damage. Octocrylene is a thick colorless ingredient; it is very chemically stable and can be used as an additive to cosmetics to preserve any natural chemical degradation that can occur when skincare products are exposed to sunlight for prolonged periods.
Octocrylene is classed as a chemical sunscreen due to this ability to protect the skin from UV damage. Octocrylene is different from your physical based sunscreens such as; zinc or titanium dioxide which work to protect the skin by creating a physical barrier. Octocrylene is also thought to have skin-moisturizing effects because of its emollient properties. Emollients help to prevent moisture loss from the top layers of the skin. However, it's important to remember that the primary purpose of this ingredient is to neutralize UV radiation, and any emollient properties are just an added benefit.
1. Octocrylene is UV-B filter that is approved in the USA, Europe and in Japan for use in suncare preparations.
2. Octocrylene is miscible with many cosmetic oils, it can easily be incorporated in the oily phase of an emulsion
3. Octocrylene is hydrophobic and oil-soluble, it is preferred for water-resistant and water-repellant formulations octocrylene is also compatible with all common plasticizers.
