What Is Avobenzone?
Avobenzone (INCI: butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane), CAS 70356-09-1, is an oil-soluble UVA filter with peak absorbance around 357 nm. It is one of the main UVA filters in sunscreens and daily-care products, usually combined with photostabilizers such as octocrylene or bemotrizinol.
The specification lists GC assay 95–105%, loss on drying ≤0.5% and specific extinction 1100–1180 at 357 nm, with limits on individual and total impurities and residual methanol.
Avobenzone needs a photostabilizer and can discolour with iron, so a chelating agent is often added. It is not regulated as dangerous goods. SPF, UVA protection and water resistance are properties of the tested finished product, and permitted concentrations depend on the destination market.
As an avobenzone supplier and exporter in China, ZXCHEM packs the white to pale yellow crystalline powder in 25 kg drums.
