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

Helps protect skin from 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.
