Among the numerous sunscreen products available today, octa-ene is undoubtedly one of the most widely used chemical (organic) sunscreens. With its unique performance and remarkable sun protection effect, it occupies an important position in the field of sun protection.
In the market, many well-known sunscreen products favored by consumers contain octa-ene as an ingredient. For instance, the Anshan Little Golden Bottle sunscreen product has stood out among numerous sunscreen products with its outstanding sun protection ability and good reputation, and Baxian plays a crucial role in this process. Shiseido's New Sunshine Water Protection Lotion, as a star sunscreen product under the Shiseido brand, is deeply loved by consumers for its advanced formula and excellent quality. It also contains octa-ene components. L 'Oreal's new Multi-layer protective isolation lotion, as one of the flagship sunscreen products of the beauty giant L 'Oreal, has a wide user base in the market. Octet is also an indispensable sunscreen ingredient for it. ISDIN Multi-dimensional Light Care Qin Rong water-sensing Sunscreen, with its unique texture and highly efficient sun protection effect, has been highly sought after by many consumers, and Baxian has also contributed to this. Roche's Bosch Special Care Light Protection Sunscreen, with its mild formula and excellent protective performance, has become the first choice for many people's sun protection, and octet is also an important component of it. Proya Feather Sunscreen has won the recognition of consumers with its light texture and excellent sun protection effect. The octet it contains plays an important role. Even the well-known Dabao Clear Double Protection sunscreen product has added octet to enhance the sun protection effect. As of 2019, in the vast sunscreen product market in the United States, there were as many as 2,999 types of sunscreen products containing octa-ene, which fully demonstrates the wide application and significance of octa-ene in the field of sun protection.
Octa-ene, also known as 2-cyano-3, 3-diphenylacrylate isooctyl ester, is also simply referred to as octa-ene. It belongs to a type of cinnamic acid ultraviolet absorber and has a unique principle in terms of sun protection mechanism. When ultraviolet rays reach the skin surface, octaenes can exert their powerful absorption capacity, with a maximum absorption wavelength of 308 nm for ultraviolet rays. Moreover, for ultraviolet rays with wavelengths ranging from 280 to 320 nm (i.e., UVB), octaenes exhibit an extremely strong absorption capacity. This means that it can effectively block this part of ultraviolet rays that are harmful to human skin and protect the skin from the damage of ultraviolet rays.
It is worth mentioning that octadene also has a stabilizing effect on avobenzine in UVA sunscreen (Paso 1789). Avobenzine, as one of the organic sunscreens with the longest absorption peak wavelength to date, also holds an important position in the field of sun protection. However, the stability of avobenzine is relatively poor, while the presence of octadecene can to some extent make up for this deficiency, enabling it to function more stably during the sun protection process and thereby enhancing the protective effect of the entire sun protection system.
In different countries and regions, there are clear regulations on the addition amount of octet in sunscreen products. In regions such as China, the European Union, Japan, the United States and South Korea, according to relevant regulations and standards, the maximum allowable addition amount of octadecene is 10% (calculated by mass fraction). However, in the daily production process of sunscreen products, considering the combined influence of various factors, the addition amount of octet is generally 1-3%. Only in a few special circumstances will there be products that increase the addition amount of octet to nearly 10%, but such cases are relatively rare.
