P-Octylphenyl Salicylate

Description:
P-Octylphenyl Salicylate, with the CAS number 2512-56-3, is an organic compound primarily used as a UV filter in sunscreen formulations and other cosmetic products. It is characterized by its ability to absorb ultraviolet radiation, particularly in the UVB range, thereby protecting the skin from harmful sun exposure. This compound is a derivative of salicylic acid and features an octylphenyl group, which enhances its lipophilicity, allowing for better solubility in oil-based formulations. P-Octylphenyl Salicylate is generally considered to have low toxicity, making it suitable for use in personal care products. However, its environmental impact, particularly regarding aquatic toxicity, has raised concerns, leading to regulatory scrutiny in some regions. The compound is typically stable under normal conditions, but its efficacy can be influenced by factors such as pH and the presence of other ingredients in formulations. Overall, P-Octylphenyl Salicylate serves as an important ingredient in the cosmetic industry, contributing to skin protection against UV radiation.
