2-Hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone

Description:

2-Hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone, also known as benzophenone-3 or oxybenzone, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which includes a benzophenone core with hydroxyl and methoxy substituents. This compound is typically a white to pale yellow crystalline solid, exhibiting moderate solubility in organic solvents and limited solubility in water. It is primarily known for its application as a UV filter in sunscreens and cosmetic products, providing protection against harmful ultraviolet radiation. The presence of the hydroxyl group contributes to its ability to absorb UV light, while the methoxy group enhances its stability and efficacy. Additionally, 2-Hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone has been studied for its potential endocrine-disrupting effects, leading to regulatory scrutiny in various regions. Its chemical stability, along with its photoprotective properties, makes it a valuable ingredient in formulations aimed at protecting skin from UV damage. However, concerns regarding its environmental impact and potential health effects have prompted ongoing research and discussion in the scientific community.

Controlled Product

CAS: 131-57-7

Applications Oxybenzone-d3 is the labeled analogue of Oxybenzone (O867300), an organic compound used in sunscreens. Oxybenzone is used as an ingredient in sunscreen and other cosmetics because it absorbs UVB and short-wave UVA (ultraviolet) rays. Oxybenzone was one of the first compounds incorporated into sunscreen formulations to offer enhanced UVA protection because its absorption spectrum extends to less than 350 nm.
