Octocrylene (CHNO) is an organic UV filter commonly used in sunscreens and personal care formulations. It appears as a clear to pale yellow viscous oily liquid with mild odor and is insoluble in water but soluble in oils and many cosmetic solvents. The compound is chemically stable and especially valued for its strong photostability, helping protect formulations from degradation under sunlight. It mainly absorbs UVB rays and part of short UVA wavelengths.
In terms of properties, octocrylene functions as an effective sunscreen active, emollient, and stabilizer for other UV filters such as avobenzone. It provides water-resistant performance, good formulation compatibility, and helps improve product texture. Its oil-soluble nature makes it suitable for creams, lotions, sprays, and sticks.
In terms of applications, octocrylene is widely used in sunscreens, moisturizers with SPF, lip balms, anti-aging creams, foundations, and hair care products to protect skin and hair from UV damage. It is also used in cosmetic products requiring sun protection and formula stabilization. Additionally, it may be used in specialty protective coatings and research formulations related to UV screening technologies.
