Oxybenzone (Standard)

• Description :

  Oxybenzone (Standard) is the analytical standard of Oxybenzone. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Oxybenzone (Benzophenone 3) is a commonly used UV filter in sun tans and skin protectants. Oxybenzone act as endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and can pass through the placental and blood-brain barriers. Benzophenone-3 impairs autophagy, alters epigenetic status, and disrupts retinoid X receptor signaling in apoptotic neuronal cells[1][2][3].
