General Description

NANOSUN OC refers to Octocrylene, an oil-soluble UV filter widely used in sunscreens and cosmetic formulations. It is a clear, viscous liquid that absorbs UVB rays and short UVA rays (wavelengths up to 360 nm), helping protect the skin from sunburn and premature aging. NANOSUN OC also acts as a photostabilizer, particularly enhancing the stability of other UV filters like Avobenzone. Its emollient properties and compatibility with a wide range of cosmetic ingredients make it a popular choice for sun care and daily wear products.

Uses in the Cosmetics Industry

NANOSUN OC is used extensively across various product categories:

  • Functions as a primary or secondary UV filter to enhance sun protection.
  • Offers daily photo-protection while maintaining a smooth skin feel.
  • Contributes to sun protection in multifunctional cosmetic formulas.
  • Helps stabilize less stable filters like Avobenzone, extending product effectiveness under sunlight.
  • Its hydrophobic nature makes it ideal for sweat- and water-resistant sun care products.
    Cosmetic brands and manufacturers buy NANOSUN OC in bulk for its dual function as a UV absorber and formula stabilizer in sun protection lines.

Hazards

While NANOSUN OC is approved for cosmetic use in many regions, there are considerations for safe formulation and consumer awareness:

  • Rare, but may occur in individuals with sensitive or allergy-prone skin.
  • May cause allergic contact dermatitis in rare cases.
  • There is ongoing discussion about the environmental impact of Octocrylene on marine ecosystems; some regions restrict its use in reef zones.
  • In certain conditions, may degrade into benzophenone, a compound under scientific scrutiny—high-purity grades and proper formulation help minimize this risk.

Storage & Stability

  • Store in a cool, dark place in tightly sealed containers to prevent oxidation and degradation.
  • Highly stable under normal cosmetic formulation conditions and enhances the photostability of other UV filters.
    NANOSUN OC is available for wholesale and bulk purchasing. Ideal for formulators seeking a high-performance, oil-soluble UV filter with added formulation benefits in modern sunscreen and protective skincare lines.
