Helioban Spf Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.
Octocrylene is a compound often used as an additive in sun screen, and is thought to have skin moisturizing effects because of its emollient properties. What makes this chemical such a popular additive to sun block, is its ability to neutralize UV radiation dissipated by sunlight, and to minimize skin damage from prolonged sun exposure. Octocrylene is also often combined with avobenzone, another common sunscreen ingredient often appearing on ingredient labels. Because of its effectiveness, the chemical has been approved across the globe for use in cosmetics and skin care products, but the concentrations of this ingredient are usually limited to no more than 10 or 12 percent. However, the use of this chemical doesn’t just stop with sunscreen for face and arms, but can extend to a variety of other products, like hair spray, tannin oil, BB cream, conditioner, and CC cream, among others. Octocrylene may cause contact and photocontact allergy.
Oxybenzone is an organic compound used in sunscreens. It is a derivative of benzophenone. It forms colorless crystals that are readily soluble in most organic solvents. It is used as an ingredient in sunscreen and other cosmetics because it absorbs UV-A ultraviolet rays.

How Helioban Spf works
Octocrylene is an effective oil soluble liquid UV‐B filter. It has excellent dissolving properties for crystalline UV filters. Due to its outstanding photostability it is used as photostabilizer. Conjugated acrylate portion absorbs UVB and short-wave UVA (ultraviolet) rays with wavelengths in the range of 280-320 nm which protects the skin from direct DNA damage. The ethylhexanol portion is a fatty alcohol, which functions as an emollient due to it's hydrophobicity.
Oxybenzone absorbs UV-A ultraviolet rays, preventing them from reaching the skin.
It acts by providing a physical barrier to prevent skin irritation and help heal damaged skin.
Dosage
Helioban Spf dosage
Apply thin layer topically every 8 hourly. Change wet and soiled diapers, promptly cleans the diaper area, allow to dry and apply ointment liberally as often as necessary, with each diaper change, especially at bedtime or any time when exposure to wet diapers may be prolonged.
Side Effects
Usually well tolerated. Extremely low frequency of hypersensitivity reaction.
Toxicity
Octocrylene is one of those ingredients that can be absorbed into the skin and some studies have shown that it may promote generation of potentially harmful free radicals when exposed to light. Since free radicals can damage DNA, there is concern that this ingredient might have contributed to an increased incidence of melanoma in sunscreen-users compared to non-users.
Acute oral toxicity (LD50): 7950 mg/kg [Mouse].
