Oxybenzone is a chemical compound used as an active ingredient in many over-the-counter sunscreens and personal care products. It acts as a UV-ray blocker, effectively preventing harmful UVA and UVB rays from penetrating the skin, thus reducing the risk of skin cancer and premature aging.
Sunscreens without oxybenzone use alternative active ingredients such as zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, avobenzone, or other chemical and physical UV filters. These sunscreens are often marketed as being safer for sensitive skin and the environment, particularly coral reefs.
Oxybenzone sunscreen refers to any sunscreen product that includes oxybenzone as one of its active ingredients. These sunscreens are designed to provide broad-spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB rays.
Oxybenzone benefits the skin by absorbing ultraviolet radiation and converting it into heat, which is then released from the skin. This process helps protect the skin from sunburn, premature aging, and reduces the risk of developing skin cancer due to UV exposure.
The primary use of oxybenzone is in sunscreen products to protect the skin from the harmful effects of the sun. It is also found in various personal care products such as lotions, lip balms, and makeup, providing added UV protection. Additionally, oxybenzone helps in preventing sunburn reactions caused by certain medications.
