Used as a natural UV-absorbing compound in cosmetic and skincare formulations, particularly in sunscreens and anti-aging products. It helps stabilize formulations against UV degradation and enhances the photostability of other active ingredients. Due to its lipophilic nature, it integrates well into oil-based systems, providing long-lasting protection on the skin. Also explored for antioxidant properties, contributing to the prevention of oxidative skin damage.
