UV Blocking Agents

UV blocking agents such as Octyl Salicylate and Benzophenone-3 play a vital role in sun protection. Octyl Salicylate absorbs UVB rays, while Benzophenone-3 provides broad-spectrum protection by absorbing both UVA and UVB rays. These agents are incorporated into formulations through careful blending with emulsifiers to ensure uniform distribution and stability. Commonly used in sunscreens, skincare products, and cosmetics, they help prevent sunburn and skin damage. Typically, these agents have a shelf life of 2-3 years when stored at room temperature. In the cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries, they are crucial for effective sun protection and maintaining product quality.
