BENZOPHENONE 1 = 2, 4-DIHYDROXYBENZOPHENONE

CAS Number: 131-56-6
Chemical Formula: C13H10O3 
Molecular Weight: 214.217

Benzophenone-1 is an off white or light yellow crystalline powder with a melting point of 142-146 min. 
Is a light stabilizer agent, applicable to polyolefine, poyvinyl chlornamee, polystyrene etc. and as the intermediate of UV-absorbing agents as well.

Many 7-free, 10-free and ‘non-toxic’ nail polish brands still use Benzophenone-1 in their formulas. 
Benzophenone -1 is a UV blocker that is used in sunscreens as well as cosmetics to stop discolouration of products. 
Just to be clear, there are some studies that show Benzophenone-1 is relatively harmless in small quantities, however Benzophenone-1 has also been linked to breast cancer, ovarian cancer, prostate cancer, and has been found in human placental tissue. 

Benzophenone-1 powder polymer additive applicable to polyolefine, poyvinyl chlornamee, polystyrene etc as a stabilizer with the incorporation of 0.1% to0.5% (based on polymer weight) required.

Benzophenone-1, -3, -4, -5, -9 and-11 are compounds made from 2-hydroxybenzophenone. 
These compounds are powders. 
In cosmetics and personal care products, Benzophenone-1 and Benzophenone-3 are used mostly in the formulation of nail polishes and enamels. 
These Benzophenone ingredients are also used in bath products, makeup products, hair products, sunscreens and skin care products.

In cosmetics and personal care products, Benzophenone-1 and Benzophenone-3 are used mostly in the formulation of nail polishes and enamels. 
These Benzophenone ingredients are also used in bath products, makeup products, hair products, sunscreens and skin care products. 

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the use of Benzophenone-3 and Benzophenone-4 as safe and effective, over-the-counter (OTC) sunscreen ingredients. 
When used as a sunscreen ingredient in the United States, Benzophenone-3 is called Oxybenzone, and may be used at concentrations up to 6%, and Benzophenone-4 is called Sulisobenzone, and may be used at concentrations up to 10%. 

Benzophenone ingredients absorb and dissipate UV radiation, which serves to protect cosmetics and personal care products. 
As part of sunscreen products, which are OTC drugs in the United States, Benzophenone-3 (Oxybenzone) and Benzophenone-4 (Sulisobenzone) protect the skin from the harmful effects of the sun. 
Exposing unprotected skin to UV light (primarily in the UV-B range) can result in sunburn and can promote premature aging of the skin and skin cancer.

Elimination of Benzophenone-1 in Water by High-Frequency Ultrasound:
Benzophenone-1 (BP1) has been classified as a potential endocrine disruptor due to its reported negative effect on different living beings. 
In addition, Benzophenone-1 presence in different water bodies has been detected. 

In this way, the ultrasonic removal of BP1 was studied considering the effects of the frequency, the power density, and the pollutant initial concentration. 
In general, results indicated that very high values of frequency and power density inhibit the pollutant removal. 

Two kinetic models were evaluated to describe BP1 initial degradation rate considering that the pollutant elimination could take place in the bulk solution and the bubble–liquid interfacial region. 
Experiments carried out under the presence of some radical scavengers showed that BP1 removal occurs mainly over the generated cavitation bubbles surface, and that HO• radicals could be the main species responsible for the pollutant elimination. 

Five degradation byproducts were identified, and a plausible reaction route was proposed. 
Finally, samples’ toxicity was analyzed considering changes in the Vibrio fischeri bacteria luminescence.

Why is Benzophenone-1 used in cosmetics and personal care products?
Benzophenone-1, Benzophenone-3, Benzophenone-4, Benzophenone-5, Benzophenone-9 and Benzophenone-11 protect cosmetics and personal care products from deterioration by absorbing, reflecting, or scattering UV rays. 
When used as sunscreen ingredients, Benzophenone-3 and Benzophenone-4 protect the skin from UV rays.

Benzophenone-1 - Uses and synthesis methods:
Ultraviolet absorber is a light stabilizer, which can absorb the ultraviolet part of sunlight and fluorescent light source without changing itself. 
Plastics and other polymer materials under sunlight and fluorescence, due to the action of ultraviolet rays, produce an automatic oxidation reaction, which leads to the degradation of the polymer and the deterioration of the appearance and mechanical properties. 

After adding the ultraviolet absorber, the high-energy ultraviolet rays can be selectively absorbed, so that Benzophenone-1 becomes harmless energy and is released or consumed. 
Due to the different types of polymers, the ultraviolet wavelengths that deteriorate are also different. 

Different ultraviolet absorbers can absorb ultraviolet rays of different wavelengths. 
When using, ultraviolet absorbers should be selected according to the types of polymers.

The ultraviolet absorber should meet the following conditions: It can strongly absorb ultraviolet rays (especially the wavelength is 290-400nm); 
Benzophenone-1 has good thermal stability, will not change due to heat even during processing, and has low thermal volatility; 
Good chemical stability, no adverse reaction with the material components in the product; 

Good miscibility, can be evenly dispersed in the material, no frost, no exudation;  The absorbent itself has good photochemical stability, does not decompose, and does not change color; 
Colorless, non-toxic, and odorless; 
Resistant to immersion; 

Cheap and easy to obtain; 
Insoluble or insoluble in water.

Ultraviolet absorbers are used in plastics, coatings, dyes, car windshields, cosmetics, medicines, sunscreens, etc.

Main Features of Benzophenone 1:
Ultraviolet absorber UVA is a wide-band oil-soluble ultraviolet absorber. 
Benzophenone-1 has strong absorption of ultraviolet rays in the whole UVA band (320-400nm) with a maximum absorption peak of 354nm. 

Benzophenone-1 is currently one of the best UV absorbers in UVA band. 
Compared with UV1789 (Avobenzone), Benzophenone-1 has more excellent light stability. 

Avobenzone is limited by Benzophenone-1 own structure, and its ultraviolet absorption performance will be greatly reduced under ultraviolet light irradiation. 
Therefore, MC80 (octyl methoxycinnamate) and HMS (humosyl) have to be used in the application process.) Wait for protection. 

The molecular structure of the ultraviolet absorber UVA has good resonance and hydrogen ion transfer effects. 
The molecular structure will not be destroyed during the absorption of ultraviolet rays by the absorber, so Benzophenone-1 can play a long-term protection.
