Avobenzone
Encyclopedia : A : AV : AVO : Avobenzone
Avobenzone (also known as Parsol 1789) is an ingredient used in sunscreen products to absorb both UVA and UVB rays. Its ability to absorb ultraviolet light over a wider range of wavelengths than many organic sunscreen agents has led to its use in many commercial preparations marketed as "broad spectrum" sunscreens. According to doctors, "the most effective sunscreens contain avobenzone and titanium dioxide." Warwick L. Morison, M.D. "Photosensitivity" The New England Journal of Medicine. Boston: Mar 11, 2004. Vol. 350, Iss. 11; pg. 1111 - 1117
