Avobenzone
Common Name(s): Parsol 1789,avobenzone
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides uva-i protection (340-400nm) critical for photoaging prevention โ the only widely available chemical uva-i filter.
Why It's Used: The essential uva-i filter โ avobenzone is the only commonly approved chemical filter providing protection in the photoaging-critical 340-400nm range essential for broad-spectrum sunscreen claims.
How It Works: Dibenzoylmethane chromophore absorbs uva-i (ฮปmax 357nm, ฮตmax ~36,000). photodegrades via photoisomerisation requiring photostabilisation (octocrylene, bemotrizinol) for durability.
Typically Found In: Broad-spectrum sunscreens,anti-aging spf products
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Active ingredient โ chemical uva-i filter
Secondary Functions: Skin conditioning
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: Up to 5% (eu), 3% (us fda)
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes โ synthetic
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Commercially produced for cosmetic use. verify vegan/halal status with supplier.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 โ non-comedogenic
Sensitivity Concerns: Well-tolerated by most skin types.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Eu max 5%. fda: 3%. ewg score: 2. requires photostabilisation. photoallergy risk in some individuals.
Works Well With: Standard skincare actives
Avoid Combining With: No known significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Avobenzone's photodegradation discovery drove development of photostabilisation technology โ the period from avobenzone's 1978 introduction to development of effective photostabilisers in the 1990s was marked by sunscreens with inadequate uva durability. bemotrizinol (tinosorb s) development provided the most elegant solution by providing a photostable molecule with equivalent uva coverage.

Butylene Glycol
Common Name(s): 1,3-butanediol,bg,1,3-butylene glycol
CAS Number: 107-88-0
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides humectant hydration and active ingredient solubilization with excellent skin feel.
Why It's Used: Preferred glycol humectant in premium and k-beauty formulations for superior skin feel vs propylene glycol with equivalent functionality.
How It Works: Two hydroxyl groups at 1,3-positions provide water binding and solvent activity. better tolerated than propylene glycol with minimal sensitization risk. 4-carbon backbone provides slightly greater hydrophobic character enabling dissolution of less polar actives vs pg.
Typically Found In: Toners,essences,serums,k-beauty formulas
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Functional ingredient โ glycol humectant
Secondary Functions: Tewl reduction,skin plumping
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 1%โ10%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes โ synthetic
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Synthetic or naturally derived. excellent aqueous solubility.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 โ non-comedogenic
Sensitivity Concerns: Non-irritating; suitable for all skin types.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Excellent safety profile. ewg score: 1.
Works Well With: Ceramides,emollients,occlusives,glycerin,hyaluronic acid
Avoid Combining With: No significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
K-beauty's preference for butylene glycol over propylene glycol is driven by two factors: bg's superior skin feel (less tacky than pg's higher viscosity) and its lower sensitization potential (1,3-bg has better spatial distribution of hydroxyl groups that reduces protein interaction vs pg's 1,2-position oh groups).
