Homosalate in the formulation of sunscreen products

The role of homosalate

Homosalate is an ingredient used in the formulation of sunscreen products. It is also used in some eyebrow pencils, skin care products and lipsticks.

Homosalate is mainly used as a sunscreen ingredient to protect the skin from UV rays. As you probably know by now, the sun damage caused by ultraviolet rays increases the risk of skin cancers such as melanoma and can lead to premature aging.

Another way to use high glycosides is to protect the ingredients in other formulations from degradation or UV absorption. It does this by converting ultraviolet rays into less damaging infrared heat.

In terms of chemistry, homosalicylate is formed by the reaction of salicylic acid and another compound, 3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexanol. Understandably, the second ingredient sounds scary, but it is actually used as a food additive to improve the minty taste of the product.

The benefits of homosalate

The main benefit of homosalate is that it protects the skin from the harmful effects of sunlight. Sunscreen usually reduces the risk of skin cancer (such as melanoma). In addition to this important benefit, sunscreens can also reduce sun sensitivity, which is often encountered by people who use drugs that increase sun sensitivity, such as tetracycline, sulfa drugs, and isotretinoin.

Another major benefit of sunscreens is that they can also protect the skin from sunburn and premature aging. Sunburn is one of the main factors leading to premature aging, leading to more obvious wrinkles and fine lines.

Homosalate work in two ways

The first is physical sunscreens, such as zinc and titanium dioxide, which reflect the sun’s rays and prevent them from penetrating deep into the skin that may cause damage. The problem with physical sunscreens is that they need to be applied in a thick layer, usually leaving a white product on the skin so that the sunscreen can reflect UV rays properly.

The other is chemical sunscreen, such as high hydrochloride, which can absorb ultraviolet light and convert it into infrared heat. Keep in mind that the heat generated by using chemical sunscreens is very small and is unlikely to cause any irritation or damage by itself.

As always, make sure to apply sunscreen regularly, and protect your skin from sun exposure by wearing long-sleeved shirts, hats, and avoiding prolonged exposure to the sun.

In general, you should use about 1 ounce or 30 grams of sunscreen for your body. When using sunscreen, it is best to use more lotion to ensure that you can fully apply the skin. Always apply sunscreen 30 minutes before sun exposure and reapply after swimming, sweating, or 2 hours after the last application.
