It is a highly efficient UVA filter used in sunscreens and other cosmetic formulations to protect skin from long-wave ultraviolet radiation (UVA rays).

It absorbs UVA radiation, preventing it from penetrating the skin. Thus, it reduces the risk of photoaging, skin damage, and skin cancer caused by prolonged sun exposure.

It is oil-soluble, which means it needs to be incorporated into the oil phase of emulsions or anhydrous systems.

Yes, it is compatible with a broad range of other UV filters, including both organic and inorganic filters, to achieve broad-spectrum UV protection.

No, it primarily covers the UVA spectrum. It is often combined with UVB filters to achieve complete UV protection.

Formulators must ensure proper solubilization and stability in the oil phase, avoid crystal formation, and stabilize it against photodegradation when exposed to light.

Yes, it is commonly used in leave-on products like sunscreens and lotions. However, due to its function as a UVA filter, it is less frequently used in rinse-off products.

While its primary function is UVA protection, it may help reduce oxidative stress on the skin caused by UV exposure.

It is typically a pale yellow liquid with good solubility in oil, making it suitable for use in a wide range of personal care products.

While it is compatible with many ingredients, it should not be formulated with highly acidic compounds, as these can affect its stability and efficacy.
