Product name: homosalate INCI Name: HOMOSALATE Molecular Formula: C16H22O3 Molecular Weight: 262.34 Appearance: Colorless transparent liquid Purity: 99% CAS NO.: 118-56-9 EINECS No.: 204-260-8 Supplier: ZHENYIBIO Homosalate is an organic compound that belongs to a class of chemical substances called salicylates.Salicylate can prevent the skin from being directly exposed to the harmful rays of the sun by absorbing ultraviolet (UV).Homosalate specifically absorbs short-wave UVB rays, which is related to DNA damage and increased risk of skin cancer.Homosalate is a chemical substance widely used in sunscreens and skin Care products with sunscreen function.
Introduction Homosalate CAS 118-56-9 is an organic compound used in some sunscreens. It is made by the Fischer-Speier esterification of salicylic acid and 3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexanol, the latter being a hydrogenated derivative of isophorone. Contained in 45% of U.S. sunscreens, it is used as a chemical UV filter. The salicylic acid portion of the molecule absorbs ultraviolet rays with a wavelength from 295 nm to 315 nm, protecting the skin from sun damage. Application The primary application of Homosalate is in sun care products such as sunscreens, lotions, and moisturizers to provide protection against damaging UV rays.
Homosalate (HMS) is commonly incorporated into sunscreens for its antibacterial abilities & helps prevent product from turning rancid. It is an oil soluble chemical sunscreen agent that absorbs UV B radiation. It can be used in sunscreen emulsions, gels, creams, sticks, makeup, etc. 2.
