Avobenzone
Avobenzone by Zyntex is a high-purity oil-soluble UV filter (CAS 70356-09-1). It is a gold-standard chemical sunscreen active, providing superior broad-spectrum protection by absorbing the full range of UVA rays.
Description
Comprehensive Product Overview of Avobenzone
Exceptional UVA shielding capacity and oil-phase compatibility provide a major advantage in sunscreen formulation. Avobenzone works by absorbing UV light at peak wavelengths around 357 nm, making it a “gold standard” in the manufacturing of high-SPF sun protection products. It helps cosmetic scientists prevent long-term skin damage, such as photoaging and hyperpigmentation. For instance, it is a primary component in producing beachwear sunscreens and “city-shield” day creams. Consequently, it enhances the protective profile of dermatological products. As a result, Zyntex ensures low residual solvent levels and high active assay for our supply. This ensures maximum stability and predictable UV absorption in your manufacturing cycles.
Moreover, Zyntex supplies high-grade Avobenzone for the anti-aging and color cosmetic industries. This compound acts as a critical agent in protecting sensitive skin from the cumulative effects of sunlight. It pushes the boundaries of skincare efficacy by preventing the degradation of collagen and elastin fibers. At the same time, it serves as a light stabilizer for light-sensitive cosmetic ingredients in clear packaging. In short, our product serves as a dependable “broad-spectrum UVA guardian.” It supports both the rigorous safety requirements of premium skincare brands and the high-volume production needs of global cosmetic manufacturers.
Recently, scientific interest in Avobenzone for its synergy with inorganic filters like Zinc Oxide and photo-stabilizers like Octocrylene has grown. It provides high efficacy when properly stabilized against photodegradation. Because of this, Zyntex offers specialized fine powder formats with verified chemical profiles to meet international cosmetic safety standards (COLIPA, FDA). These formats suit modern high-shear emulsification and cold-process manufacturing R&D. Ultimately, choosing Zyntex secures a reliable and transparent chemical supply chain. We balance photochemistry expertise with rigorous batch-to-batch HPLC quality monitoring. To conclude, our commitment ensures your manufacturing processes achieve the highest levels of performance and stability.
