NameSulisobenzone
Groups experimental
DescriptionSulisobenzone is approved by the FDA in concentrations of up to 10% and in Canada, is approved by Health Canada at the same concentrations [F38]. It works to filter out both UVA and UVB rays, protecting the skin from sun UV damage [L2153]. The UV-filter substance, sulisobenzone (BP-4) is widely used an ingredient in sunscreens and other personal care products [A32927], [L2668]. It falls under the drug category of _benzophenones_. The benzophenones are a group of aromatic ketones that have both pharmaceutical and industrial applications [L2671]. Benzophenones may be found organically in fruits such as grapes [L2669]. Benzophenones are used as photoinitiators, fragrance enhancers, ultraviolet curing agents, and, occasionally, as flavor ingredients; they are also used in the manufacture of insecticides, agricultural chemicals, and pharmaceuticals and as an additive for plastics, coatings, and adhesives [L2670]. As a group, benzophenones may be used to delay photodegradation or extend shelf life in toiletries and plastic surface coatings [L2671].
