About

A benzophenone-derivative UV filter combined with a stearyl amine carbonyl group, serving as a photosensitizing agent in cosmetic formulations.

Stearaminocarbonyl benzophenone-4 is a benzophenone derivative where the benzophenone-4 (also known as sulisobenzone) UV filter is conjugated to a stearyl amine carbonyl moiety. Benzophenone-4 is an approved UV filter in the EU (Annex VI, entry 16) but this specific conjugated derivative may have different regulatory status. Benzophenone derivatives are known for their photosensitizing potential, and the conjugated form requires specific safety evaluation not generally provided for the parent compound.

Skin benefits

  • UV-absorbing properties from benzophenone moiety

Known concerns

  • Photosensitizing potential — may cause skin reactions on UV exposure
  • Regulatory status as UV filter in EU may differ from parent benzophenone-4
  • Requires specific safety assessment not covered by parent compound's approval
