Octocrylene is a widely used UV filter in sunscreen formulations, primarily designed to absorb UVB and partial UVA radiation, effectively protecting the skin from sun damage. As a highly stable organic sunscreen agent, it not only provides excellent photoprotection but also acts as a photostabilizer, enhancing the stability of other UV filters such as avobenzone.
Octocrylene features good oil solubility and formulation compatibility, making it suitable for a wide range of cosmetic applications, including lotions, creams, and sunscreen sprays. With its lightweight texture and low crystallization tendency, it helps improve the sensory performance and user experience of finished products. Additionally, it offers water-resistant properties, contributing to longer-lasting sun protection.
It is extensively used in sun care products, color cosmetics, and personal care formulations, and has become an essential component in modern sunscreen systems. With its high efficiency, excellent stability, and strong compatibility, Octocrylene holds a significant position in the global market.
1）Cosmetics Industry: Octocrylene is an effective UVB absorber widely used in sunscreen formulations. It enhances sun protection performance and photostability, especially by stabilizing UV filters like avobenzone. It is commonly applied in sunscreens, sprays, lotions, creams, lip care, and daily skincare products.
2）Personal Care Products: Thanks to its excellent oil solubility and film-forming properties, Octocrylene is also used in hair care products, sun-protective sprays, and color cosmetics, providing UV protection and improved product durability.
3）Industrial & Material Applications: With its UV-resistant properties, Octocrylene can serve as a light stabilizer additive in certain coatings, plastics, and polymer materials, helping improve weather resistance and product lifespan.
▶ Quality indicators: Complies with USP standards, with assay up to over 99.9%, individual impurity ≤0.19% and total impurities ≤0.59%. The purity is far superior to standard requirements with high quality stability.
▶ Appearance and properties: Clear yellow viscous liquid with Gardner color of only 4 (standard ≤6), better color without impurity turbidity, suitable for various cosmetic formulation systems.
▶ Physicochemical properties: Acidity as low as 0.025ml/g (standard ≤0.18ml/g), relative density and refractive index are precisely in line with the standard range, with stable physicochemical properties and strong formulation compatibility.
▶ Residue control: The residual content of 2-Ethylexanol is as low as 97ppm (standard ≤500ppm), with extremely low residues, complying with the safety specifications for cosmetic raw materials and ensuring safe use.
▶ Technical strength: The company has an independent R&D center (2500 ㎡), with 6 patents passing the preliminary examination and 4 under examination. We have deep experience in R&D and production of UV absorbers, with profound technical accumulation and can provide customized synthesis services.
Octocrylene is a high-efficiency fat-soluble UV absorber, mainly absorbing medium-wave ultraviolet (UVB) and part of long-wave ultraviolet (UVA). It has excellent photostability and is not easily decomposed by ultraviolet rays. As a commonly used sunscreen active ingredient in cosmetics, it can be used alone or in combination with other sunscreens, suitable for various sun protection and skin care products such as sunscreen cream, sunscreen spray, primer, and makeup. Its core functions are as follows:
▶ High-efficiency sun protection and isolation: Targetedly absorb UVB in the 280-320nm band and part of UVA, block the direct irradiation of ultraviolet rays on the skin, reduce the direct damage of ultraviolet rays to the skin, and effectively prevent sunburn, sun redness and sun peeling.
▶ Excellent photostability: It has outstanding photostability, not easy to decompose and fail due to ultraviolet irradiation. It can also improve the photostability of other sunscreens, extend the protection time of the overall sunscreen system, and avoid the problem of fast sunscreen "failure".
▶ Strong formulation compatibility: The fat-soluble property is suitable for various oil-based and water-oil compound cosmetic formulations, and has good compatibility with UV absorbers such as Bemotrizinol, Tinosorb S and DHHB. It can deploy sunscreen products with different SPF values on demand to meet diverse formulation needs.
▶ Mild and low irritation: The product has low impurity content and strict residue control, complying with the safety standards for cosmetic raw materials. It is mild and non-irritating, suitable for various skin types such as sensitive skin, dry skin and oily skin, with no obvious sensitization risk.
▶ Assisted anti-photoaging: By blocking the irradiation of ultraviolet rays on the skin, it reduces skin collagen loss and free radical generation induced by ultraviolet rays, delays photoaging problems such as skin tanning, spot formation and fine lines, and maintains the healthy state of the skin.
Relying on the technical accumulation of the 2500 ㎡ professional R&D center, Wuhan BJM Pharm Wuhan Benjamin Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. produces Octocrylene by adopting the refined organic synthesis process, and the whole process is controlled in accordance with the ISO quality system and USP standards. Based on high-purity chemical raw materials, the target product is synthesized through core reactions such as directional esterification and condensation. Combined with the company's independently developed purification process, the crude product is subjected to multi-stage refinement, separation and purification to accurately control the impurity content and residual solvents. A complete set of testing equipment is equipped in the production process to conduct real-time detection of the physicochemical indicators and purity of each reaction step. The finished products are delivered from the factory only after passing multi-dimensional detection such as IR, UV and HPLC. The company has a mature large-scale production system and customized synthesis capacity, and can adjust process parameters according to customer needs to ensure stable product quality and high batch-to-batch consistency.
