Formulating with Octocrylene Best Practices for Sunscreen Stability
01
Product Description
It is a light - yellow liquid. It is an oil - soluble organic compound that is insoluble in water but can be dissolved in organic solvents, which can make cosmetics have waterproof function.
It is a chemical sunscreen agent that absorbs ultraviolet light. It has a high molar absorptivity in the ultraviolet region due to the conjugation effect between the benzene ring and the carbonyl group. It can strongly absorb ultraviolet rays in the wavelength range of 280 - 320 nm (UVB), and also absorb a small amount of UVA rays.

At Aogebio®, we formulate premium Octocrylene to deliver dual-action benefits as both a UVB filter (280-320nm) and photostabilizer for sun care products. Our pharmaceutical-grade Octocrylene enhances sunscreen stability while providing long-lasting UV protection in all formulations.
Why Cosmetic Chemists Choose Aogebio® Octocrylene:
✔ Superior Photostability – Extends the efficacy of UVA filters like Avobenzone by up to 90%
✔ Broad-Spectrum Boost – Absorbs UVB rays while protecting other UV filters from degradation
✔ Water-Resistant – Ideal for beach and sport sunscreens
✔ Formulation-Friendly – Compatible with both oily and emulsion systems
Broad - Spectrum UV Protection
It can provide broad - spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays, helping to shield the skin from sunburn, premature aging, and the risk of skin cancer caused by sun exposure.
High Photostability
It has excellent photostability, and does not easily degrade or lose its UV protection properties when exposed to sunlight, ensuring long - lasting and stable sun protection.
Synergistic Effect
It can enhance the effectiveness of other sunscreen agents. When used in combination with other UV filters, such as avobenzone, it can improve the photostability and overall performance of sunscreens, resulting in enhanced sun protection.
Good Compatibility
It is compatible with various cosmetic formulations, including lotions, creams, gels, and makeup products. It can be easily incorporated into different cosmetic formulations without affecting the sensory properties of the final product.
Water Resistance
It can enhance the water resistance of sunscreens, allowing them to remain effective even after exposure to water or sweat, which is particularly important for people who often engage in water - related activities.
01
Use
In China, the European Union, the United States, and Australia, the maximum allowable concentration of octocrylene used in cosmetics is 10%. The specific dosage in products is adjusted according to the formula design and the desired protection level.
As an oil - soluble ingredient, it is usually added to the oil phase of cosmetics. It is dissolved by heating and stirring and then evenly mixed with other ingredients according to the normal production process.
01
Sunscreen Products
It is widely used in various sunscreen products, such as sunscreens, sun lotions, and sun sprays, to provide effective UV protection and help products achieve high SPF and PA values.
01
Multifunctional Cosmetics
It is also added to multifunctional cosmetics with sunscreen functions, such as BB creams, CC creams, and makeup primers, to provide users with UV protection while adjusting the skin tone and providing basic skin care.
03
Other Cosmetics
In addition to sunscreen products, octocrylene can also be used in some lip balms, anti - aging creams, and hair conditioners to provide a certain degree of UV protection and improve product performance.
