Benzophenone-4 (BP-4)
Benzophenone-4 (BP-4)
Benzophenone-4 (BP-4), also known as Sulisobenzone, is a water-soluble UV filter widely used in cosmetic and personal care formulations. It effectively absorbs both UV-A and UV-B radiation, helping protect skin and cosmetic products from ultraviolet damage.
Due to its excellent photostability and water solubility, Benzophenone-4 is commonly incorporated into sunscreens, lotions, shampoos, and skincare products. It not only provides sun protection but also helps stabilize cosmetic ingredients, fragrances, and colorants against UV-induced degradation.
Indira Ventures supplies high-quality Benzophenone-4 suitable for cosmetic formulations, sunscreen products, and industrial UV stabilization applications, ensuring consistent quality and reliable supply for global manufacturers.
