Product Introduction:
Octocrylene, commonly found in sunscreen products, is an organic UV absorber known as 2-cyano-3,3-diphenylacrylate with the molecular formula C24H27NO2. Its chemical name is 2-cyano-3,3-diphenylacrylate with its molecular formula being C24H27NO2, molecular weight 361, and unique UV absorption properties focused mainly on medium wave UVB radiation of 280-320nm wavelength as well as some long wave UVA radiation of 320-400nm wavelength wavelengths. As an oil-soluble compound it forms light yellow viscous liquid with high boiling point (218degC) that ensures compatibility with cosmetic formulations.
From an operations perspective, Octocrylene absorbs ultraviolet energy through intramolecular electron transitions and converts it to harmless heat energy release, effectively protecting skin DNA against UV damage. Not only does this process protect from sunburn and photoaging but it also stabilizes other photosensitive sunscreen ingredients (like Avobenzone) to extend overall product effectiveness. Although Octocrylene covers many harmful UVA wavelengths its protection is weak so typically other broad-spectrum sunscreens must be compounded together for best performance.
Safety-wise, Octocrylene’s safety concerns mainly center on its potential allergenicity and environmental hazards. The European Union Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) determined that Octocrylene was non-toxic and non-teratogenic at common concentrations (usually 1-3%). They did not detect any clear endocrine disrupting effects. However, several studies have indicated that trace amounts of benzophenone may remain from its synthesis process, which has been classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer as a Class 2B carcinogen. Octocrylene can also be broken down to benzophenone in its natural environment, leading to accumulation that could threaten marine ecology; as a result, Palau and other regions have banned sunscreen products containing this ingredient since 2020.
Although there has been controversy, major global regulatory agencies (including China, the US, and EU) allow the use of Octocrylene sunscreen products with an upper limit concentration limit of 10%. Current research generally agrees that under standard production and use conditions Octocrylene poses minimal health risks; however it should still be chosen with care by individuals with sensitive skin or pregnant women who require UV protection.

Octocrylene, as one of the world’s main chemical sunscreens, finds wide application areas for its use: cosmetics as well as industrial scenarios like plastics coatings and food contact materials. When applied to cosmetics products containing sunscreens containing Octocrylene its high UVB absorption rate makes it a key ingredient. According to statistics for 2019, 2,999 high SPF products containing Octocrylene were sold on US markets including those by Anessa and La Roche-Posay among many others; demand was strong also on Chinese markets: 2,373 tons were consumed, exceeding 214 million Yuan market size by an average annual growth rate of 15% year on average annually since 2012.
Octocrylene’s main appeal in industry stems from its UV shielding function. For plastic products, including those intended to resist yellowing and embrittlement caused by sunlight; coatings applications use it to increase weather resistance of outdoor coatings; while food packaging requires it to protect oil oxidation caused by ultraviolet light. These applications have contributed significantly to Octocrylene production and sales growth over time; in 2018, Chinese production reached 3,650 tons with net exports reaching 1,277 tons, showing strong global competitiveness.
At the core of market expansion lies improved sun protection consumer awareness. As our ozone layer shrinks, UV protection has become an irreducible necessity; making sunscreen cosmetics a daily necessity rather than seasonal items. Retail cosmetic sales in China increased from 88.9 billion yuan in 2010 to 261.9 billion yuan by 2018, with increased proportions of sunscreen categories each year; at the same time consumer concerns about product safety have led companies to optimize formulation technology, such as microencapsulating Octocrylene with skin or developing derivatives with stronger photostability for optimal product sales results.
Advances in detection technology also support industry standardization. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) has become the go-to method for measuring Octocrylene content in cosmetics; its measurement error can be kept within 0.026% (k=2) to meet regulatory standards. With breakthroughs in sunscreen compounding technology and environmental protection regulations improving, its application should become ever more refined and sustainable in future years.
The main advantage of Oclirine is its broad-spectrum protection, which has more efficient UVB absorption at lower concentrations than traditional physical sunscreens such as titanium dioxide, while synergizing with UVA absorbers such as Avobenzone to reduce the amount of total active ingredients used in the product for a better use experience. This makes Ocriline particularly suitable for developing lightweight sunscreen products that meet consumer requirements for the use experience.
The chemical stability of Ocriline is better than most organic sunscreens, and it is not easily decomposed under light and high temperature conditions, extending the shelf life of Ocrilin-containing products while maintaining the durability of the sun protection index. Experiments have shown that its SPF value has a attenuation rate of less than 5%, while some photosensitive ingredients (such as octyl) have a attenuation rate of more than 20%, making ocriline an ideal ingredient for outdoor sunscreen products.
In terms of safety, the toxicological data of Ocriline are relatively complete. The World Health Organization and national regulatory agencies have not classified it as an endocrine disruptor, and the sensitization rate is very low (clinical reports are rare). Although benzophenone impurities have always been controversial in the production process, modern production processes are able to control this impurity at sub-ppm levels through modern production techniques using a strict quality control system to ensure the safety of the finished product.
Economic benefits are one of the main drivers for the widespread adoption of Ocriline. The synthetic process is mature, the raw material cost is controllable, and the unit price advantage is obvious in large-scale production environment. In 2018, its average price in the Chinese market was 90,200 yuan/ton, which is 30%-50% lower than similar new sunscreen products currently on sale, making Okeliline an attractive solution for affordable sunscreen products for emerging markets.
In the face of environmental challenges, the industry is taking steps to minimize its ecological footprint through technological innovation. These innovations include biodegradable ocriline derivatives or improved wastewater treatment processes to minimize environmental emissions of benzophenone – measures that are not only in line with the trend toward sustainability, but also open up space for Ocriline in “green cosmetics.”
