DEFINITION |
Water-soluble UVA and UVB filter. Only short UVA (UVA-2, 290-360 nm) but not long UVA are filtered. Synonyms: Sulisobenzone, 1-phenol-4-sulfonic acid. Highly stable, does not degrade in sunlight but protects other UV blocking agents from UV-induced degradation. Benzophenone-4 is readily soluble in water, propylene glycol, glyerin, ethanol and isopropyl alcohol. Due to its high acidity (pH < 2.5 in a 1% solution), a neutralizing agent (e.g. triethanolamine) must be added to elevate the pH to >3.5. Yellow to beige powder. |
