Benzophenone-3, or oxybenzone, primarily functions as a photostabilizer and sunscreen.

Among the vast selection of sunscreen active ingredients, Benzophenone-3 is classified as a “chemical” sunscreen agent.

Inadequate when used alone, benzophenone-3 absorbs UVB and short UVA rays but is a relatively weak chemical UV absorber.

By absorbing UV rays, it also helps preserve the integrity of other cosmetic ingredients, preventing their deterioration under the sun.

For this reason, benzophenone-3 is most often used in conjunction with other sunscreen agents.

Besides sunscreen, it can be found in a variety of personal care products such as nail polish, lotions, and lipstick.

2-Hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone, also called oxybenzone or benzophenone-3 (BP-3) absorbs ultraviolet (UV) light and is used in sunscreens, but also to protect polymers from UV damage

Oxybenzone is one of the most commonly-used sunscreen chemicals. This ingredient, sometimes called benzophenone-3, is not to be confused with benzophenone, another sunscreen ingredient.

Oxybenzone is also sometimes found in perfumes not to protect the wearer from the sun, but to protect the fragrance formulation itself while it sits on the store shelf or your bathroom vanity.

Oxybenzone is a benzophenone derivative used as a sunscreen agent.

Benzophenone-3 is a chemical sunscreen agent that absorbs UVB and short UVA rays (280-350nm) with its peak protection at 288 nm.

Unlike many other chemical sunscreens, Benzophenone-3 is highly stable but its UV absorbing abilities are weak so it always has to be combined with other sunscreen agents for proper protection.

More often than not, Benzophenone-3 is used as a photostabilizer rather than a proper sunscreen agent as it can protect formulas nicely from UV damage.

Oxybenzone or benzophenone-3 or BP-3 (trade names Milestab 9, Eusolex 4360, Escalol 567, KAHSCREEN BZ-3) is an organic compound.

Benzophenone-3 is a pale-yellow solid that is readily soluble in most organic solvents. Oxybenzone belongs to the class of aromatic ketones known as benzophenones.

Benzophenone-3 is a naturally occurring[4] chemical found in various flowering plants[5] as well as being an organic component of many sunscreen lotions.

Benzophenone-3 is also in widespread use in things like plastics, toys, furniture finishes, and more to limit UV degradation

Benzophenone is used in personal care products such as lip balm and nail polish to protect the products from UV light.

Derivatives of benzophenone, such as benzophenone-2 (BP2) and oxybenzone (benzophenone-3 or BP3) are common ingredients in sunscreen.

Oxybenzone is a benzophenone derivative used as a sunscreen agent.

Oxybenzone absorbs UVB and UVA II rays, resulting in a photochemical excitation and absorption of energy.

Upon return to ground state, the absorbed energy results in emission of longer wavelength radiation and decreased skin penetration of radiation which reduces the risk of DNA damage.

Uses & Benefits

In skincare products like soap and lip balm, benzophenone helps prevent the other product ingredients from degrading under UV light protecting the products color and scent. Oxybenzone, a derivative of benzophenone, is also an ingredient in many sunscreens due to its ability to absorb harmful UV rays.

Benzophenone is also widely used in a range of household products and consumer goods. In laundry and cleaning products, benzophenone is added to the product formulation as a perfume compound, and it also helps to protect the product against degradation that could be caused by UV rays and exposure to air.

In consumer products like sunglasses, shoes and sports equipment, benzophenone helps to protect against UV rays that could damage or deteriorate the product. In addition, as an ingredient in non-food plastic packaging, it helps to prevent sun damage and fading of the product inside the packaging.

Benzophenone-3 is proposed to be continued for use in sunscreen products at a maximum concentration at 10% weight/weight.

Benzophenone is used as an ultraviolet curing agent, flavour ingredient, fragrance enhancer and perfume fixative, and as an additive for plastics, coatings and adhesive formulations.

Benzophenone is also used as a screen to prevent ultraviolet light-induced damage to cosmetics.

Oxybenzone or benzophenone-3 or BP-3 is a naturally occurring chemical found in some flowering plants.

BP-3 absorbs and scatters the sun`s harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays.

Benzophenone is produced for use as sunscreen in lotions, conditioners, and cosmetics. Oxybenzone or benzophenone-3 is an organic compound. Benzophenone is a pale-yellow solid that is readily soluble in most organic solvents. Oxybenzone belongs to the class of aromatic ketones known as benzophenones.

Oxybenzone is a sunscreen agent (also known as benzophenone-3) that protects primarily from UVB rays, and some, but not all, UVA rays. It is part of the benzophenone group of chemicals.

As a group, the benzophenones are used not only for sun protection but also as photostabilizers in cosmetics products.

That means they keep products from turning color or from degrading in the presence of sunlight. They also have other uses, including flavor enhancers in food.

Oxybenzone protects the skin from the suns harmful effects.

It mainly absorbs UVB radiation, which is responsible for sunburn and increases the risk of developing skin cancer.

It also absorbs short UVA rays, which are mainly responsible for skin ageing.

Oxybenzone remains stable in light and therefore effective during sun exposure.

Uses

Oxybenzone is used in plastics as an ultraviolet light absorber and stabilizer.[10] It is used, along with other benzophenones, in sunscreens, hair sprays, and cosmetics because they help prevent potential damage from sunlight exposure. It is also found, in concentrations up to 1%, in nail polishes.[10] Oxybenzone can also be used as a photostabilizer for synthetic resins.[10] Benzophenones can leach from food packaging, and are widely used as photo-initiators to activate a chemical that dries ink faster.[11]

As a sunscreen, it provides broad-spectrum ultraviolet coverage, including UVB and short-wave UVA rays. As a photoprotective agent, it has an absorption profile spanning from 270 to 350 nm with absorption peaks at 288 and 350 nm.[12] It is one of the most widely used organic UVA filters in sunscreens today.[12] It is also found in nail polish, fragrances, hairspray, and cosmetics as a photostabilizer. Despite its photoprotective qualities, much controversy surrounds oxybenzone because of its possible hormonal and photoallergenic effects, leading many countries to regulate its use.

Safety

Some debate focuses on the potential of oxybenzone as a contact allergen[12] with a 2001 study finding contact dermatitis “uncommon” for oxybenzone.[13] Due to the advent of PABA-free sunscreens, oxybenzone is now the most common allergen found in sunscreens.[14][15][16][17]

In vivo studies

The incidence of oxybenzone causing photoallergy is extremely uncommon,[13] however, oxybenzone has been associated with rare allergic reactions triggered by sun exposure. In a study of 82 patients with photoallergic contact dermatitis, just over one quarter showed photoallergic reactions to oxybenzone.[18]

In a 2008 study of participants ages 6 and up, oxybenzone was detected in 96.8% of urine samples.[19] Humans can absorb anywhere from 0.4% to 8.7% of oxybenzone after one topical application of sunscreen, as measured in urine excretions. This number can increase after multiple applications over the same period of time.[20] Oxybenzone is particularly penetrative because it is the most lipophilic of the three most common UV filters.[21]

When applied topically, UV filters, such as oxybenzone, are absorbed through the skin, metabolized, and excreted primarily through the urine.[22] The method of biotransformation, the process by which a foreign compound is chemically transformed to form a metabolite, was determined by Okereke and colleagues through oral and dermal administration of oxybenzone to rats. The scientists analyzed blood, urine, feces, and tissue samples and found three metabolites: 2,4-dihydroxybenzophenone (DHB), 2,2-dihydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone (DHMB) and 2,3,4-trihydroxybenzophenone (THB).[23][24] To form DHB the methoxy functional group undergoes O-dealkylation; to form THB the same ring is hydroxylated.[22] Ring B in oxybenzone is hydroxylated to form DHMB.[22]

A study done in 2004 measured the levels of oxybenzone and its metabolites in urine. After topical application to human volunteers, results revealed that up to 1% of the applied dose was found in the urine.[25] The major metabolite detected was DHB and very small amounts of THB were found.[25] By utilizing the Ames test in Salmonella typhimurium strains, DHB was determined to be nonmutagenic.[26] In 2019, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) noted in their recommendations for future study that, “While research indicates that some topical drugs can be absorbed into the body through the skin, this does not mean these drugs are unsafe.”[27]

Effects on coral

Media reports link oxybenzone in sunscreens to coral bleaching,[28] although some environmental experts dispute the claim.[29] A small number of studies have been released which linked coral damage to oxybenzone exposure.[30][31] A 2015 study published in the Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology led to ban of oxybenxzone containing sunscreen in Palau.[32] However, the purported link between oxybenzone and coral decline is widely discussed within the environmental community since most studies on the subject have been conducted in a lab environment.[33] A 2019 study of UV filters in oceans found far lower concentrations of oxybenzone than previously reported, and lower than known thresholds for environmental toxicity.[34]

Health and environmental regulation

Australia

Revised as of 2007, the National Industrial Chemicals Notification and Assessment Scheme (NICNAS) Cosmetic Guidelines allow oxybenzone for cosmetic use up to 10%.[35]

Canada

Revised as of 2012, Health Canada allows oxybenzone for cosmetic use up to 6%.[36]

European Union

The Scientific Committee on Consumer Products (SCCP) of the European Commission concluded in 2008 that it does not pose a significant risk to consumers, apart from contact allergenic potential.[37] It is allowed in sunscreens and cosmetics at levels of up to 6% and 0.5% respectively.[38]

Japan

Revised as of 2001, the Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare notification allows oxybenzone for cosmetic use up to 5%.

Palau

The Palau government has signed a law that restricts the sale and use of sunscreen and skincare products that contain oxybenzone, and nine other chemicals.

The ban comes into force in 2020.[40]

Sweden

The Swedish Research Council has determined that sunscreens with oxybenzone are unsuitable for use in young children, because children under the age of two years have not fully developed the enzymes that are believed to break it down. No regulations have come of this study yet.[10]

United States

Oxybenzone was approved for use in the US by the FDA in the early 1980s. Revised as of April 1, 2013, the FDA allows oxybenzone in OTC sunscreen products up to 6%.[41]

The Hawaii State Legislature has passed a bill that would prohibit the sale of non-prescription sunscreens containing oxybenzone and other chemicals that may be damaging to coral reefs (e.g. octyl methoxycinnamate), effective January 1, 2021.[42][43]

Key West has also banned the sale of sunscreens that contain the ingredients oxybenzone (and octinoxate). The ban goes into effect on January 1, 2021.[44] However, this legislation was superseded by the Florida State Legislature by Senate Bill 172.[45] Which prohibits local governments from regulating over-the-counter proprietary drugs and cosmetics (such as sunscreen containing oxybenzone and octinoxate). The statute became effective July 1, 2020.

The City of Miami Beach, Florida voted against a ban of oxybenzone, with commissioners citing public health concerns and lack of clarity on scientific evidence supporting such a ban.

What Is It?

Benzophenone-1, -3, -4, -5, -9 and-11 are compounds made from 2-hydroxybenzophenone. T
