Its structure allows efficient absorption of ultraviolet radiation, particularly in the UVA range, helping to protect the skin from sun damage. It also stabilizes other ingredients in the formulation against photodegradation, enhancing product shelf life. Commonly found in lotions, creams, and makeup designed for sun protection. Shows low skin irritation potential, making it suitable for sensitive skin products.
