Homosalate Benefits

Homosalate appears as a colorless, transparent liquid and is insoluble in water. Homosalate is stable and functions as an organic sunscreen agent, protecting the skin from sun damage and thereby delaying aging. It primarily absorbs UVB radiation, specifically in the wavelength range of 295-315 nm.
Homosalate belongs to the salicylate class and is biodegradable with no aquatic toxicity.
Homosalate(HMS) can serve as a solvent for UV absorbers such as UV1789 (Avobenzone) and UVT150 (OctylTriazone).

• UVB Protection. It primarily absorbs short-wavelength UVB rays that can cause sunburn. Thus, offering protection against skin cancer.
• Stabilizer. This compound stabilizes other agents of sunscreens in formulations. It enhances the total efficacy of the product.
• Non-greasy, light texture. Homosalate is known for its properties of non-greasiness and light texture. Thus, making it desirable in many sunscreen and skincare formulations.
• Environmentally friendly. We offer this compound that is readily biodegradable. It does not bioaccumulate. This is not considered to be acutely toxic to aquatic organisms.

Manufacturing Process

Homosalate is prepared by the esterification of 3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexanol. In the cosmetic industry, it undergoes purification processes to be made of high quality and ensure safety.

Technical Specifications

Suitable for a Wide Range of Applications

• Sunscreen

Homosalate works as a good UVB filter. It covers the skin against radiation, which causes sunburn. It is highly photostable and can be used with other organic UV filters.

• Gels

Homosalate is incorporated in the transparent gel formula. It permits dispersal of alcohol-based systems. It has a nice skin feel, fast absorption and is compatible with the oil as well as the water phases.

• Creams

Homosalate enhances UV protection with oil-in-water emulsions. It facilitates the use of sunscreens and increases spreadability. It assists in the even distribution of UV filters all over the cream structure.

• Sticks

Homosalate is in favour of solid-phase chemistry. It allows the structure of the firm yet preserves the glide of the skin. It enables the use of UV protection at all times in lip balms, deodorants, and sunblock sticks.

• Makeups

Homosalate can be used as a part of foundations, BB creams, and tinted sunscreens. It offers invisible sun protection with no harmful pigment balance, texture, or stability of the product during makeup formulations. 

• Face and Hand Lotions

Homosalate mixes with lotion hydrators. It guarantees the lightness of the texture, rapid absorption, and ability to protect against UVB. It provides sun protection to non-specific moisturizers and skincare lines that do not contain sunscreen. 

• Hair Care Products

Homosalate aids in blocking UVB rays from damaging the hair and scalp. It helps in protecting color, inhibiting breakdown of hair protein in leave-in conditioners and styling sprays, and increasing photoprotection.

Formulation in Cosmetic Products

• Solubility

Homosalate is oil-soluble. It is soluble in esters, alcohols, and emollients. You must avoid water systems. It mixes easily in oil layers in emulsions. Make sure that it is fully dissolved, otherwise it can be separated into phases in the course of storage.

• Recommended Volume in Composition (%)

The drug homosalate has a concentration of 10, which was approved to be use Regulations according to the region should be followed. The maximum in the EU is 7.34%. Any time, it is essential to conduct stability tests at the desired levels of concentration.

• pH

Homosalate is stable in formula with a pH of 3.5 to 8. You should not be in extreme pH conditions. Waste can be caused to an uncontrollable degree. Keep the emulsion pH the same to guarantee UV filtering.

• Texture/Feel

Homosalate has a non-greasy feel to the skin. It increases the spreadability of emulsions. Smooth application of products can be realized. It is absorbed fast into the skin. It follows our classy finish on the face and body. 

• Compatibility with Other Cosmetic Ingredients

Homosalate is very compatible with other organic UV filters such as Avobenzone and Octocrylene. It is compatible with esters, silicones, and emollients. Do not mix with unstable filters. Interaction between checks and ingredients at the stage of development.

Working Mechanism

Between 295 and 315 nanometers, homosalate absorbs ultraviolet B. It absorbs UVB to create heat. It can be used to inhibit erythema and DNA damage by skin cells. It operates by suppressing absorbed energy. It has to react with stabilizers so as to avoid photodegradation. It should be used together with other filters to get broad-spectrum protection in cosmetic sunscreen preparations.

 Safety Profile and Approval for Use in Cosmetics

• Dermal Absorption & Systemic Exposure

Homosalate has low skin absorption. Minimal exposure to the systemic level can be anticipated under regulated usage conditions. Research indicates less than 1 per cent permeation through the skin of human beings. At approved concentrations, regulating agencies find it safe.

• Endocrine Activity / Hormonal Concerns

Homosalate has weak estrogenic activity in vitro. You have to conform to regional concentrations. Further assessment is advised by SCCS review. The EU restricts use to 7.34%. US FDA allows up to 15%.

• Irritation/Sensitization Potential

Homoalate is lowly irritating on intact skin. Patch test results indicate a low level of sensitization in human tests. Application should not be done on broken skin. Add sedative substances to eliminate any localized action.

• Environmental Considerations

Hamasalate is found in the surface water. You need to evaluate its environmental durability. Research shows medium water toxicity. The eco-toxicological profile of regulatory agencies is under review. Application in rinse-off products can contribute to greater ecological demand
