Avobenzone
Evidencestrong · Tier 1Irritation riskModerateIn products921
Organic broad-spectrum UVA (320–400 nm) chemical filter. Intrinsically photo-unstable — degrades under UV unless stabilised (e.g. octocrylene, bemotrizinol). Photoprotection indirectly benefits photoaging/pigmentation.
The research
Avobenzone is a sunscreen backed by a large, consistent body of clinical evidence (evidence tier 1 of 4). We track 2 studies for it, 2 reporting a positive effect.
