Iscotrizinol is a chemical compound used as an active ingredient in sunscreens. It is known for its ability to absorb ultraviolet (UV) radiation, thereby protecting the skin from the harmful effects of the sun.
Chemical Structure[edit | edit source]
Iscotrizinol is an organic compound with a complex structure that includes multiple aromatic rings and functional groups. Its chemical formula is C40H50N6O2, and it is characterized by its ability to absorb UV radiation effectively.
Mechanism of Action[edit | edit source]
Iscotrizinol works by absorbing UV radiation, particularly in the UVB and UVA range. This absorption prevents the radiation from penetrating the skin and causing damage to the DNA in skin cells. By doing so, it helps to reduce the risk of skin cancer and photoaging.
Applications[edit | edit source]
Iscotrizinol is primarily used in the formulation of sunscreens. It is valued for its broad-spectrum UV protection and its stability under sunlight, which makes it an effective ingredient in long-lasting sun protection products.
Safety and Regulation[edit | edit source]
Iscotrizinol is approved for use in sunscreens in several countries. It is considered safe for use on the skin when used as directed. Regulatory bodies such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Commission have evaluated its safety profile.
