Name BENZOPHENONE-2 Description Used in perfumes, flavoring agents, chemical manufacturing, as an ultraviolet curing agent, sunscreen ingrdient, an additive in plastics, cosmetics, coatings, and adhesives. Occurs naturally in some foods. Benefits Protects skin from harmful UVB rays. Considerations • Endocrine disruption
Benzophenones are associated with endocrine disruption. • Bioaccumulation
Benzophenones are found to accumulate in the body. • Suspected Carcinogen
Benzophenones are implicated in DNA damage that may lead to cancer. • Birth Defects
Some reseearch suggests that certain benzophenones can cause birth defects like hypospadias. Synonyms 2,2',4,4'-Tetrahydroxybenzophenone
