Octyl Methoxycinnamate, also known as Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate or OMC, is a widely used organic compound in the personal care industry, primarily as a UV filter. This colorless, oil-soluble liquid is renowned for its effectiveness in protecting the skin from the harmful effects of UVB radiation. Our high-purity Octyl Methoxycinnamate is designed to ensure superior performance and safety in various sunscreen formulations and other cosmetic products.
Function:
UVB Protection: Octyl Methoxycinnamate absorbs UVB rays (290-320 nm), providing broad-spectrum protection against sunburn and skin damage caused by UVB radiation. This helps in preventing skin aging and reducing the risk of skin cancer.
Photostability: It is known for its photostable properties, meaning it maintains its efficacy when exposed to sunlight. This ensures prolonged protection during sun exposure.
Compatibility: Octyl Methoxycinnamate is compatible with a wide range of other cosmetic ingredients, making it an ideal component in diverse formulations. It blends well with other UV filters to enhance overall sun protection.
Skin Conditioning: Apart from its UV protection capabilities, Octyl Methoxycinnamate also acts as a skin-conditioning agent, helping to keep the skin moisturized and smooth.
Low Irritancy: It is generally well-tolerated by most skin types, with a low risk of irritation or sensitization, making it suitable for inclusion in daily skincare products.
Application:
Sunscreens: Octyl Methoxycinnamate is a key ingredient in sunscreen formulations, providing effective UVB protection. It helps in preventing sunburn and protecting the skin from long-term damage caused by sun exposure.
Daily Moisturizers: It is used in daily moisturizers with SPF to offer daily sun protection. This helps in protecting the skin from incidental sun exposure during routine activities.
Makeup Products: Octyl Methoxycinnamate is incorporated into various makeup products such as foundations, powders, and lip balms to provide added sun protection while enhancing the aesthetic appeal.
Hair Care Products: It is also used in hair care products like shampoos and conditioners with UV protection claims, helping to protect hair from UV damage and maintain its color and health.
Anti-Aging Products: By protecting the skin from UV-induced aging, Octyl Methoxycinnamate is a valuable ingredient in anti-aging skincare formulations, helping to prevent wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots.
