High-purity reference materials for accurate residue analysis.

Overview

Avobenzone, also known by its IUPAC name 3-(4-tert-Butylphenyl)-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)propane-1,3-dione, is an organic molecule and an oil-soluble ingredient used in sunscreen products to absorb the full spectrum of UVA rays. It is a dibenzoylmethane derivative and exists in the ground state as a mixture of the enol and keto forms.

Uses

Avobenzone is primarily used in sunscreen formulations to provide broad-spectrum UVA protection. It is often combined with other photostabilizers to enhance its stability and efficacy under sunlight exposure.

Regulatory

Avobenzone was approved by the FDA in 1988 and is also approved in the EU, Australia, and Japan. However, as of 2021, the FDA does not recognize it as generally safe and effective (GRASE) due to insufficient safety data. It is approved for use up to 3% concentration in the US and up to 5% in the EU.

Monitoring

Regular monitoring of avobenzone in sunscreen formulations is essential to ensure its concentration remains within regulatory limits and to verify its stability and efficacy over time.

Health Impact

Human Toxicity

Studies have shown that avobenzone can degrade into various organic compounds, including aromatic acids, aldehydes, phenols, and acetophenones, which may cause adverse health effects. The FDA requires additional safety data to fully assess its impact on human health.

Environmental Impact

Effects on Wildlife

Avobenzone has been banned in certain regions, such as Palau, due to concerns over its toxicity to coral reefs and marine life.

Safety Measures

To mitigate potential risks, avobenzone is often formulated with photostabilizers and antioxidants to enhance its stability and reduce photodegradation. Users should follow recommended guidelines for application and reapplication of sunscreens containing avobenzone.
