UV Filter

Oxybenzone is a chemical UV filter that absorbs UVB and short-wave UVA radiation, protecting the skin from sun damage. It reduces the amount of harmful UV radiation that penetrates the skin, mitigating sunburn and potential long-term damage.

Oxybenzone functions as a chemical UV filter by absorbing UVB and short-wave UVA ultraviolet radiation. This absorption process converts the UV radiation into heat, which is then released from the skin. This action reduces the amount of harmful UV radiation that penetrates the skin, thereby protecting against sunburn, premature aging, and potentially reducing the risk of skin cancer caused by sun exposure.
