Overview of Dibenzoylmethane

 

Dibenzoylmethane, also called Avobenzone, is an oil-soluble UVA filter that protects against 320-400 nm radiation. It is used in sunscreens, day creams, and makeup. When stabilized, it stays effective in sunlight and provides strong UVA protection without causing whitening or irritation.
In personal care products, Dibenzoylmethane is important for daily sun protection. Ingredients such as Triethyl Citrate, Glycerin, Caprylyl Glycol, Polysorbate 20, and Sorbitan Monooleate can help improve how it works in different formulas.
ChemicalBull offers high-purity Dibenzoylmethane that is suitable for use in cosmetics and personal care products.
