Product Introduction

BENZOPHENONE-4, CAS 4065-45-6, also known as 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone, is an organic compound  . It belongs to the class of benzophenone derivatives and is commonly used as a UV absorber in sunscreen products. Benzophenone-4 is soluble in organic solvents but insoluble in water.

As a UV filter, Benzophenone-4 absorbs ultraviolet radiation, specifically UVA and UVB rays, and converts them into heat energy, protecting the skin from sunburn and photoaging. It is widely used in cosmetic formulations, including sunscreens, lotions, and creams, to provide broad-spectrum sun protection. Benzophenone-4 is generally recognized as safe and effective for use in sun care products when used as directed.

In addition to its use in sunscreens, BENZOPHENONE-4 may also find applications in other industries such as plastics and polymers .
