Octocrylene
Octocrylene is a pale yellow liquid with a melting point of 96-98ºC. An oil-miscible UV-B filter that is approved in the USA, Europe and in Japan for use in suncare preparations. As it is miscible with many cosmetic oils, it can easily be incorporated in the oily phase of an emulsion. Because it is hydrophobic and oil-soluble, it is preferred for water-resistant and water-repellant formulations. Also features excellent photostability, and its ability to stabilize Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane
