HOMOSALATE

Homosalate is an ester that is made by the esterification of 3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexanol and salicylic acid. The latter has the ability to absorb UV rays and protect the skin from damage.

Homosalate( Homomenthylsalicylate) is a chemical compound commonly used in cosmetics and sunscreens as an ultraviolet (UV) filter, offering protection against sun-induced skin damage. Apart from this, it enhances the overall stability of sunscreen formulations. It is versatile and popular for its light, non-greasy texture, making it a preferred choice in various skincare products. While effective in UVB protection, it is important to note that Homosalate primarily addresses shorter-wavelength UV rays, necessitating the combination with other sunscreen agents for broad-spectrum coverage against both UVA and UVB rays.

Homosalate is a vegan and halal ingredient.
