Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane
Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.
Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane is dibenzoyl methane derivative. It is oil soluble ingredient. Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane has the ability to absorb ultraviolet light over wider range of wavelengths. It is included in many commercially available sunscreens which are used as wide spectrum sunscreens. Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane is very sensitive to light, to increase its stability and duration of action, photostablizers are added in the sunscreen product. Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane has an absorption maximum of 357 nm. Sunscreens containing avobenzone is indicated for providing protection from the sun. In addition to limiting the skin's exposure to the sun, using sunscreen agents may help reduce long-term sun damage such as premature aging of the skin and skin cancer.

Uses
Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane is a sunscreen agent found in sunscreens that absorbs UV rays.
Sun protection factor, added in the sunscreen products for its wide spectrum ultraviolet absorption properties.
Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane is also used to associated treatment for these conditions: Sunburn
How Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane works
It blocks UVA I, UVA II, and UVB wavelengths, thereby limiting the impact of UV rays on skin. Diminish the penetration of ultraviolet (UV) light through the epidermis by absorbing UV radiation within a specific wavelength range. The amount and wavelength of UV radiation absorbed are affected by the molecular structure of the sunscreen agent.
