Avobenzone 1 kg

Why Manufacturers Rely on This UVA Absorber for Sunscreen Lines

Avobenzone is one of the most widely used organic UV filters in the global cosmetic industry, valued for its ability to absorb UVA rays responsible for skin photoaging and cumulative cellular damage. A 1 kg pack is aimed at production facilities, contract manufacturers, and cosmetic laboratories that need a stable raw material supply for recurring batches rather than occasional home projects. This raw material belongs to the UV and SPF Filters for Cosmetics category, which brings together the key substances used to build sun protection systems.

The main demand for avobenzone comes from manufacturers of sunscreen lotions, sprays, mousses and creams with declared SPF values, as well as BB and CC creams, tinted daily moisturizers, SPF-enhanced lip balms, and hair care lines that need to shield pigment and hair structure from ultraviolet exposure. On an industrial scale, this filter also appears in premium decorative cosmetics and even in household chemical formulations designed to prevent packaging and textile fading from sun exposure, which pushes its use well beyond skincare alone.

A known characteristic of avobenzone is its photochemical instability when used without proper stabilization. To address this, manufacturers typically pair it with octocrylene and build multi-filter systems for broader coverage. A common partner is Oxybenzone, which extends protection into the UVB range, while UV Filter SENSASCREEN Zinc, based on a zinc oxide microemulsion, helps create combined mineral-organic broad-spectrum systems. To fine-tune UVB coverage and balance the overall SPF value, formulators often add PARSOL MCX to the recipe.

In production, avobenzone is introduced into the oil phase during the heating stage, at approximately 70-75 degrees Celsius, until the crystals are fully dissolved. Typical usage levels in finished products range from 2 to 3 percent of total mass, depending on the target SPF and regional regulatory limits. Even distribution of the filter across the emulsion is critical, since it directly determines the declared protection level. The raw material should be stored in a tightly sealed container, in a dry area shielded from direct sunlight and temperature fluctuations, to preserve its photostability before processing.

Industrial Batch Sunscreen Cream SPF 30

Avobenzone 28 g

Oxybenzone 18 g

UV Filter SENSASCREEN Zinc 90 g

PARSOL MCX 5 ml

Emulsifying wax 58 g

Cocoa butter 50 g

Jojoba oil 40 g

Glycerin 28 g

Distilled water 673 g

Broad-spectrum preservative 10 g

Combine the oil phase ingredients, including emulsifying wax, cocoa butter, jojoba oil, avobenzone, oxybenzone, and PARSOL MCX, and heat to 75 degrees until all crystalline filters dissolve completely. Heat the water phase with glycerin separately to the same temperature, then slowly pour it into the oil phase while stirring continuously until a uniform emulsion forms. Once the mixture cools to 40 degrees, blend in the zinc oxide microemulsion and preservative, mix until smooth, and fill into opaque containers that protect the finished cream from light-induced degradation.
