Widely used in cosmetic formulations, especially in sunscreens, to protect the skin from harmful UV radiation. It effectively absorbs UVB rays, helping prevent sunburn and long-term skin damage. Commonly found in lotions, creams, and sprays due to its good solubility in organic solvents and compatibility with other sunscreen agents. Also used in plastics and coatings to enhance the light stability of products exposed to sunlight, preventing yellowing and degradation. Its low volatility and good photostability make it suitable for long-term outdoor applications.
