Avobenzone is an oil-soluble organic UV filter that provides strong absorption in the UVA range (320–400 nm).
It is widely used in sunscreens, daily skin care, and color cosmetics to protect skin from UVA-induced photoaging, pigmentation, and long-term damage.
Formulators typically combine avobenzone with UVB filters and photostabilizers to achieve broad-spectrum protection and improved stability.
Its lipophilic nature makes it suitable for emulsions, anhydrous systems, and high-SPF formulations.
