High-purity reference materials for accurate and reliable residue analysis of Octocrylene.

Overview

Octocrylene is an organic compound used primarily in sunscreens and cosmetics. It is formed by the Knoevenagel condensation of 2-ethylhexyl cyanoacetate with benzophenone. As a viscous, oily liquid that is clear and colorless, Octocrylene absorbs UVB and short-wave UVA rays, protecting the skin from direct DNA damage.

Uses

Octocrylene is widely used in sunscreens and cosmetic products due to its ability to absorb ultraviolet (UV) radiation, specifically UVB and short-wave UVA rays. It also provides emollient and water-resistant properties, making it a valuable ingredient in these products.

Regulatory

Octocrylene is subject to various regulatory measures due to its environmental impact. For example, Palau and the United States Virgin Islands have banned the sale and use of sunscreens containing Octocrylene due to its potential harm to coral reefs.

Monitoring

Monitoring Octocrylene in environmental and food samples is essential to ensure compliance with regulatory limits. High-purity reference materials are crucial for laboratories conducting these analyses.

Health Impact

Human Toxicity

Octocrylene can penetrate the skin and act as a photosensitizer, leading to increased production of free radicals under illumination. It can also be metabolized and excreted in urine in the form of its metabolites.

Environmental Impact

Effects on Wildlife

In coral, Octocrylene has been shown to accumulate in the form of fatty acid conjugates and trigger mitochondrial dysfunction. This has led to regulatory actions in certain regions to protect marine ecosystems.

Safety Measures

Proper handling and usage instructions should be followed to minimize the potential health and environmental risks associated with Octocrylene. Personal protective equipment (PPE) and adherence to safety guidelines are recommended.

Regulation

Several regions have enacted regulations to limit the use of Octocrylene in consumer products due to its potential environmental impact. Compliance with these regulations is essential for manufacturers and distributors.
