Octocrylene is an organic compound used in sunscreens and make-up,
an oil-soluble UV absorber with water-insoluble properties.
Properties that contribute to the solubility of other oil-soluble solid sunscreens.
It has the advantages of high absorption rate, non-toxicity, non-teratogenicity,
good stability to light and heat. Oaklein belongs to the cinnamic acid class of ultraviolet absorbers,the maximum absorption wavelength of ultraviolet light is 308nm,
and it has a strong absorption capacity for ultraviolet light (UVB) with wavelengths
in the range of 280-320nm. Oaklein absorbs UV-B and a small amount of UV-A, and has
a stabilising effect on the UVA sunscreen Avobenzone (Paso 1789),
which is an FDA-approved Class I sunscreen, with a high usage rate in the US and Europe.
The maximum permitted additive amount of Oclarin in China, the EU, Japan, the United States,
and South Korea is 10% (calculated as a mass fraction). However, in daily sunscreen products,
the added amount is usually 1-3%, and very few products add up to 10%.
Octocrylene is used as a UV-A and UV-B filter for sunscreen and topical pharmaceutical preparations, and as a UV absorber for plastics, paints and dyes. Octocrylene is an organic
