Used in cosmetics and skincare products for its UV-absorbing properties, particularly in sunscreens and anti-aging formulations. It helps protect the skin from harmful UV radiation by absorbing UVB and部分 UVA rays, reducing sun damage and preventing premature aging. Also acts as an antioxidant, scavenging free radicals generated by UV exposure. Its multiple hydroxyl groups enhance stability and improve compatibility with other ingredients in formulations. Commonly found in lotions, creams, and makeup products designed for daily sun protection.
