  • Description

General Description

NANOACTIV B3, chemically known as Benzophenone-3 or Oxybenzone, is an organic UV filter widely used in sunscreens and personal care products. It is highly effective at absorbing UVB and short-wave UVA rays, thereby protecting the skin from sunburn, photoaging, and other sun-induced damage. NANOACTIV B3 is oil-soluble, making it compatible with a variety of formulations such as creams, lotions, and sprays. In addition to direct skin protection, it helps stabilize other sunscreen ingredients by reducing their rate of degradation under sunlight.

Uses in the Cosmetics Industry

NANOACTIV B3 is a key ingredient in many sun protection and cosmetic formulations, including:

  • Sunscreens & Sunblocks: Provides broad-spectrum UV protection when combined with other filters.
  • Daily Moisturizers with SPF: Enhances everyday sun protection in lightweight formulas.
  • Foundations, BB & CC Creams with SPF: Offers invisible UV protection while maintaining smooth texture.
  • Lip Balms & Lipsticks with SPF: Shields delicate lip skin from UV damage.
  • Hair Products with UV Protection: Protects hair color and structure from photodamage.

Manufacturers often buy NANOACTIV B3 in bulk for its proven efficacy, broad compatibility, and stability in sunscreen and sun care product development.

Hazards

While NANOACTIV B3 is approved for cosmetic use in many countries, some safety considerations apply:

  • Skin Sensitivity: May cause allergic reactions or mild irritation in individuals with sensitive skin.
  • Endocrine Concerns: Some studies have raised concerns about potential hormonal activity, leading to usage restrictions in certain regions.
  • Eye Irritation: Direct contact with the eyes may cause temporary irritation.
  • Environmental Impact: Known to contribute to coral reef damage and aquatic toxicity, prompting bans or restrictions in some locations (e.g., Hawaii, Palau).

Formulators should use NANOACTIV B3 within regulated concentration limits and consider combining it with eco-friendlier UV filters for sustainable product lines.

Storage & Stability

  • Storage: Keep in a tightly sealed container, stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Stability: Stable under normal formulation conditions and provides good photostability when combined with complementary UV filters.

NANOACTIV B3 is available for wholesale and bulk procurement, offering formulators a trusted and effective UV filter for high-performance sun protection and multifunctional cosmetic products.

THE STORY OF NANOACTIV B3

Nanoactiv B3: Broad-Spectrum UV Protection in a Single Molecule

Nanoactiv B3 (2-Hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone) is a highly efficient organic UV filter and photostabiliser. It absorbs both UVB and portions of UVA rays, helping prevent sunburn, photodamage and premature aging in skin.

Synthesised for Precision: High Purity UV-Filter

Nanoactiv B3 is produced via a controlled synthesis route (e.g., Friedel-Crafts reaction) and then purified into crystalline form for use in cosmetics and sunscreens. It is supplied as a pale yellow solid with excellent solubility in oil phases

Shielding Skin from the Sun: Performance & Versatility

Benzophenone-3 delivers key benefits in sun care formulations:
• Strong UVB + partial UVA absorption, contributing to broad-spectrum protection.
• Acts as a photostabiliser for other filters and active ingredients, enhancing product longevity.
• Oil-soluble, easy to incorporate in emulsions, creams, sprays and lip balms.
Used widely in daily sunscreens, anti-age serums, lip protection and sun-exposed body care.

Effective, but Requires Care: Regulatory & Formulation Guidelines

• Usage limits vary by market — for example up to ~6% in EU sunscreens.
• Store in a cool, dry, light-protected environment to preserve stability.
• Although effective, studies highlight concerns: systemic absorption, endocrine disruption potential, coral reef impact.
• Formulators should ensure compatibility with other filters, stabilisers, and ensure batch COA and safety data are compliant.
