2-Ethylhexyl Salicylate is an effective solvent and a UV absorber.2-Ethylhexyl salicylate has a conjugated �? bond, which can absorb ultraviolet rays and convert the energy of ultraviolet rays into heat to release it to achieve the purpose of sun protection. 2-Ethylhexyl salicylate can absorb ultraviolet rays in the 280-300nm band and is used as a UVB absorber In sunscreen makeup, although 2-Ethylhexyl salicylate has a small UV absorption capacity, 2-Ethylhexyl salicylate is safer, less toxic, and cheap compared to most other sunscreens. Therefore, it is a type of UV absorber that people use more often.
2-Ethylhexyl Salicylate, or octyl salicylate, is an organic compound used as an ingredient in sunscreens and cosmetics to absorb UVB (ultraviolet) rays from the sun. It is an ester formed by the condensation of salicylic acid with 2-ethylhexanol. It is a colorless oily liquid with a slight floral odor. The salicylate portion of the molecule absorbs ultraviolet light, protecting skin from the harmful effects of exposure to sunlight. The ethylhexanol portion is a fatty alcohol, adding emollient and oil-like (water resistant) properties.
