Octocrylene
Octocrylene is a chemical commonly used in sunscreens to absorb and block ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun, helping to protect the skin from damage and premature aging. It also stabilizes other sunscreen ingredients, enhancing their effectiveness. Additionally, octocrylene has moisturizing properties, which can help keep skin hydrated. It is generally considered safe for most users when used as directed, though some individuals may experience allergic reactions or skin sensitivity. As with all skincare products, it’s important to follow usage instructions and monitor your skin’s response.
