Safety Profile of Octocrylene
Octocrylene can penetrate into the skin, where it acts as a photosensitizer, resulting in an increased production of free radicals under illumination. It may also pass through the skin, into the bloodstream, eventually being metabolized and excreted in urine in the form of its metabolites. Octocrylene can convert to benzophenone through a retro-aldol condensation. The reaction occurs slowly over time, yielding a significant concentration of benzophenone in all commercial cosmetics tested formulated with octocrylene.
