What is Oxybenzone?
Oxybenzone (Benzophenone-3) is frequently found in Sunscreen products as it helps slow down the degradation process of the UV filter, making it great to wear under makeup. It is worth noting that this ingredient alone does not protect against UV rays but works in combination with other substances to create effective sun protection.
How Oxybenzone works
- Stabilizes UV filters – prolongs the durability and efficacy of sun protection
- Absorbs UV radiation – contributes to broad-spectrum protection alongside other filters
- Great under makeup – reduces the degradation of your SPF throughout the day
