Homosalate

Description:
Homosalate, with the CAS number 118-56-9, is an organic compound commonly used as an ingredient in sunscreen formulations due to its ability to absorb ultraviolet (UV) radiation. It is classified as a chemical UV filter, specifically effective in absorbing UVB rays, which are primarily responsible for sunburn and contribute to skin cancer. Homosalate is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a mild odor and is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. Its chemical structure features a salicylic acid derivative, which contributes to its efficacy in protecting the skin from harmful UV exposure. In addition to its photoprotective properties, homosalate also acts as a stabilizer for other sunscreen agents, enhancing the overall effectiveness of the formulation. Regulatory assessments have evaluated its safety for use in cosmetics, and it is generally recognized as safe when used within established concentration limits. However, ongoing research continues to monitor its environmental impact and potential effects on human health.
