Octocrylene Ingredient Exporter China

For many years, as an ingredient exporter, we have always been asked if Octocrylene is safe. First, let’s find out why we need Octocrylene at the beginning. What did it do compared with all the other sunscreens? Is there any different? The answer is yes: it provides better sun protection. Although Octocrylene is not a good sunscreen, it protects other UV absorbers from decomposition and can even improve their performance. It also helps them better cover the skin. Therefore, Octocrylene is a good tool for improving the efficacy of sunscreens.

Like all other sunscreens, Octocrylene has been thoroughly tested before approved. In the United States, Octocrylene has been evaluated by FDA and is believed to be safe for use in formulations up to 10%. Similarly, the EU allows it to use up to 10% in formulations, while Health Canada allows a maximum use level of 12%. With these three separate approvals, this seems quite safe.
