BENEFITS OF OCTOCRYLENE
Manufacturers include Octocrylene in their skin products because it reportedly offers a range of skin benefits.

Absorbs UVA and UVB rays:
Unlike many other sunscreen ingredients, octocrylene protects the skin against short UVA and long UVB rays.

Protects against skin aging
UVA rays comprise 95%Trusted Source of the sun’s rays that reach the ground. 
Octocrylene can help protect against premature skin aging and signs of sun damage, such as wrinkles and age spots. 
This is because of its ability to absorb UVA rays.

Helps prevent skin cancer
Octocrylene may help prevent skin cancers because of its ability to absorb UV radiation. 
Aside from sunburn, UVB rays are responsible for most skin cancers, while UVA rays also contribute to the development of some cancers.

Remains photostable
Octocrylene is photostable, which means its SPF remains stable after exposure to light. 
This property makes it popular among cosmetic manufacturers.

Octocrylene is a chemical sunscreen ingredient that, once absorbed into the skin, captures harmful UV rays before they can cause damage to the underlying skin cells
Octocrylene offers protection against UVA rays, those responsible for signs of aging.

Octocrylene can also help improve the water-resistance of a sunscreen.
Octocrylene is an organic compound used as an ingredient in sunscreens and cosmetics. 

Octocrylene is an ester formed by the condensation of 2-ethylhexyl cyanoacetate with benzophenone. 
Octocrylene is a viscous, oily liquid that is clear and colorless.

The extended conjugation of the acrylate portion of the molecule absorbs UVB and short-wave UVA (ultraviolet) rays with wavelengths from 280 to 320 nm, protecting the skin from direct DNA damage. 
The ethylhexanol portion is a fatty alcohol, adding emollient and oil-like (water resistant) properties.

Octocrylene is an organic sun filter. 
Octocrylene mainly absorbs UVB radiation, which is responsible for tanning but also for sunburn and skin cancer.

Octocrylene protects the skin from the harmful effects of the sun and premature skin aging. 
Octocrylene helps prevent the risk of skin cancer.

Octocrylene remains stable and therefore effective during exposure to the sun. 
Octocrylene stabilises avobenzone, a particularly effective filter against long UVA rays, enabling it to be used. 

Octocrylene enables sunscreen products to be water resistant.
Octocrylene is an oil-soluble chemical sunscreen agent

Octocrylene's protection is not strong enough on its own
But Octocrylene is quite photostable (loses 10% of SPF protection in 95 mins) and is often used to stabilize other photo-unstable UV-filters, for example, Avobenzone. 

Octocrylene is also often used to improve the water resistance of the products.
Octocrylene is an active ingredient in many chemical sunscreens 

Octocrylene is readily absorbed by skin and accumulate within the body. 
Octocrylene absorbs UVB (top-surface) and some short UVA (deep-skin) rays and produces free radicals that damage cells and cause DNA mutations.
Octocrylene is an ingredient used in mostly sunscreens because it is also used as a preservative and does offer some skin moisturizing properties as well as an emulsifier in sunscreen lotion.

Octocrylene is a compound often used as an additive in sun screen, 
Octocrylene is skin moisturizing effects because of its emollient properties. 

What makes this chemical such a popular additive to sun block, is its ability to neutralize UV radiation dissipated by sunlight, and to minimize skin damage from prolonged sun exposure. 
Octocrylene is also often combined with avobenzone, another common sunscreen ingredient often appearing on ingredient labels. 

Because of its effectiveness, the chemical has been approved across the globe for use in cosmetics and skin care products
However, the use of this chemical doesn’t just stop with sunscreen for face and arms, but can extend to a variety of other products, like hair spray, tannin oil, BB cream, conditioner, and CC cream, among others. 

Octocrylene is a diarylmethane.
Octocrylene is a yellow viscous liquid.
