TRIMETHYLBENZOPHENONE.

Insufficient Data CAS 954-16-5 / LIGHT STABILIZER

Trimethylbenzophenone is a synthetic organic compound primarily utilized in cosmetic formulations as a UV stabilizer and photostabilizer. It functions by absorbing and dissipating ultraviolet radiation, thereby contributing to product integrity and potentially offering photoprotection to the skin.

Summary

UV absorber Photostabilizer

Science

Mechanism of Action

2,4,6-Trimethylbenzophenone operates by absorbing ultraviolet radiation, effectively dissipating this energy. This action protects formulations from photodegradation and mitigates the harmful impact of UV exposure on the skin by preventing these rays from reaching deeper layers.

CIR Status
Not reviewed
Sensitization risk Unknown

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has not specifically reviewed 2,4,6-Trimethylbenzophenone (CAS 954-16-5), although other benzophenone derivatives (e.g., Benzophenone-1, -3, -4) have been assessed. The ingredient carries GHS hazard statements indicating it is harmful if swallowed (H302) and causes serious eye irritation (H319), along with environmental hazards (H400, H410).

Verdict

Insufficient Data

While Trimethylbenzophenone demonstrates a mechanism as a UV stabilizer, the absence of specific CIR safety review, clinical efficacy studies, and general GHS hazard statements necessitates a cautious approach due to insufficient data.
