Product Application
Benzophenone derivatives are essential ingredients in most modern sunscreen cosmetics, protecting skin against UV damage. Demand in cosmetic applications has been rising steadily. Recent research shows that benzophenone can also shield against fluorescent UV radiation, extending its use into hair conditioners, body lotions, and lipsticks. It is widely used as a fragrance fixative that enhances sweet notes in perfumes and soap scents.
