Octocrilene
Octocrylene is an organic compound used as an ingredient in sunscreens and cosmetics. It is an ester formed by the condensation of a diphenylcyanoacrylate with 2-ethylhexanol. It is a viscous, oily liquid that is clear and colorless. This organic compound can penetrate into the skin where it acts as a photosensitizer. This results in an increased production of free radicals under illumination.
