Description
Homosalate is an organic compound commonly used in sunscreen formulations as a UV filter. It’s a clear or pale-yellow oily liquid with a slightly sweet odor and a light texture. Homosalate works by absorbing UVB radiation, which helps protect the skin from sunburn and damage that can lead to premature aging and an increased risk of skin cancer.
As a safe and effective ingredient, it is often combined with other UV filters to enhance broad-spectrum protection in both lotion and spray sunscreens. Homosalate is also used in other skin-care and cosmetic products where sun protection is desired. However, because it can break down over time when exposed to sunlight, it’s usually paired with stabilizers or other UV filters to maintain effectiveness.
