General Information

Working Mechanism

From our R&D, we have noted that the working mechanism of avobenzone powder in cosmetic ingredients is based on its ability to absorb harmful UVA radiation.Its molecules contain conjugated aromatic rings and a carbonyl group that absorb UVA photons.

When you expose avobenzone powder is exposed to UVA lights, its molecule is elevated from the ground state to an excited state.The energy that is absorbed is later released safely as low-energy heat, thus avoiding damage to your skin cells.

As a result, this process helps to protect your DNA and pigmentation from being damaged.Lastly, to add longer protection, an avobenzone powder stabilizer or UV filter is usually added.

Composition of Avobenzone Powder

Avobenzone powder comprises different chemical compositions and physical properties, making it suitable to be used in the cosmetic industry.It is chemically known as butyl methoxydibenzoyl methane, which is a pale yellow to white crystalline powder.

This unique properties make avobenzone distributors target the cosmetic industry since it plays a major role in making cosmetic products like UVA sunscreen filter.

Avobenzone powder molecular formular is C (20)H(22)O3.

Formulation in Cosmetic Products

· Solubility

If you buy avobenzone powder, it is soluble in oil and insoluble in water, which makes it suitable to be used in cosmetic products.

Example includes,

In cosmetic products such as lotions and creams, avobenzone powder is used since its dissolves in the oil phase then emulsified with water.

As a trusted avobenzone powder manufacturer in China, we also recommend this ingredient for use in sprays. This is because it is soluble in alcohol or oil blends for clear sprays.

Lastly, it’s often paired with photostabilizers such as antioxidants andbemotrizinol, thus preventing degradation

· Optimal pH

The optimal pH of avobenzone ranges from 4.0 to 6.5, thus making it be stable in acidic or neutral condition.

When the pH of avobenzone is high, it usually undergoes faster degradation, thus losing its UV protection.

Most cosmetic products, such as sunscreen, have a pH of around 5.5, which is considered friendly to the skin. Such pH balances both skin compatibility and ingredient stability.

· Recommended Concentrations

The cosmetic industry uses avobenzone powder in their products, such as sunscreen, at a concentration of about 2 to 3 percent with an optimal pH of 5 to 6 for photostability.

Safety and Approval for use as Cosmetic Ingredient

Avobenzone is a globally approved UVA filter for cosmetic use. The FDA allows up to 3% concentration, while the EU permits 5%. It is safe, effective, and widely used in sunscreens. However, it is not stable when exposed to light hence, it requires stabilizers.

Furthermore, it is non-toxic, non-carcinogenic, and generally well tolerated within regulated limits.
