Homosalate (Alfa Chemistry)

Technical Datasheet | Supplied by Alfa Chemistry

Homosalate by Alfa Chemistry acts as a UV-B sunscreen agent. It is an ester formed from salicylic acid and 3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexanol, a derivative of cyclohexanol. The salicylic acid portion of the molecule absorbs ultraviolet rays with a wavelength from 295-315 nm, protecting the skin from harmful UV radiation and sun damage. The hydrophobic cyclohexanol portion provides greasiness that prevents it from dissolving in water. Homosalate is suitable for formulating color cosmetics and hair-, skin-, baby- & nail care products. It increases the effectiveness of sunscreens and daily wear formulations.
