Avobenzone（Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane). Avobenzone is a derivative of dibenzoyl methane and is a very effective "B" grade of such a derivative. This particular chemical has proven to be the most effective agent among all other agents with regard to absorbing ultraviolet light wavelengths, thus being the key component of most broad-spectrum sunscreens. Avobenzone has been developed primarily to function as a topical UV protector acting against both UVA I and II and UVB rays; hence we really can consider it a sunblock in view of Avobenzone. The product basically protects the skin from damages associated with UVA and UVB. Its other function is to give the skin a healthy glow.
This entirely new product for sun protection is based on Avobenzone (BMDM, butyl methoxy dibenzoylmethane). Avobenzone is the method, it is said, to use one of the most efficient sun protection agents in the world today and widely appreciated for its broad-spectrum application against dangerous rays: UVA and UVB rays. Avobenzone abstracts to be an effective UV-A absorber in the range of 380-315 nm which causes skin impairment over a long period of time and UV-B, that being in the range of 315-280 nm causes suntanning and burning. Hence, on a bigger scale, it is the most effective agent in sunscreen as a protection against the ill effects of the sun. Use our advanced sunscreen for your everyday skincare routine, for strong and long-lasting protection, and to help keep your body's skin health and vitality.
