Photoprotection and stabilisation of avobenzone

Avobenzone (4-tert-butyl -4’-methoxydibenzoylmethane) is the most widely used UVA filter in the world. Its complex photophysics and photochemistry continues to be a subject of study by researchers. Avobenzone in its ground state is not one but two species called tautomers. There’s an enol tautomer, and a diketo tautomer, often called simply the keto form. Avobenzone’s diketo tautomer is always present and easily accessible to solar UV radiation. With its high triplet energy the diketo tautomer may exhibit high reactivity towards bio-molecules. In environments with sufficient concentration of O2, significant quenching of the diketo triplet by O2 and generation of singlet oxygen is highly probable. To prevent or reduce bio-molecule reactions and singlet oxygen generation by Avobenzone’s diketo triplets, a triplet quenchers are usually added to the formulation.

In our traditional survey, we want to show the unique diversity of companies and proposals that were represented at this very important exhibition venue.

THEORY

Secondary alkane sulphonates
D.А. Merkulov, Ph.D. (Chemistry)

Secondary alkane sulphonate are mixture of isomers and homologues of sodium salts of sulfonated n-paraffins, given anionic surface-active properties. The variety of important application properties allows us to consider secondary alkane sulfonates as multifunctional, economical and green raw components of household chemicals and cosmetics.
