Octyl p-dimethylaminobenzoate

Description:
Octyl p-dimethylaminobenzoate, also known as octocrylene, is an organic compound commonly used as a UV filter in sunscreens and cosmetic formulations. It is characterized by its ability to absorb UV radiation, particularly in the UVB range, thereby providing protection against sunburn and skin damage. The compound features a long hydrophobic octyl chain, which enhances its solubility in oils and improves its stability in formulations. Octyl p-dimethylaminobenzoate is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a mild odor. It is known for its low volatility and good photostability, making it suitable for use in various cosmetic products. Additionally, it has emulsifying properties, which can help in the formulation of creams and lotions. While generally considered safe for topical use, it is essential to monitor for potential skin sensitivities or allergic reactions in some individuals. Overall, its effectiveness as a UV filter and its compatibility with other ingredients make it a popular choice in the cosmetic industry.
