Description
Curator's Comment: Description was created based on several sources, including http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/5569329 and http://www.sun-protection-and-products-guide.com/sunscreen-ingredients.html

Dioxybenzone (benzophenone-8) is an organic compound used in sunscreen to block UVB and short-wave UVA rays. It is a derivative of benzophenone. It is insoluble in water, which lends to the ‘waterproof’ claims that sunscreens make. It’s approved for use in the US at a concentration of 3%.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide
Curator's Comment: Maximum FDA-approved concentration of Dioxybenzone in sunscreen 3%
The dose used in FDA sunscreen testing is 2 mg/cm2 of exposed skin. Sunscreen should be applied one-half hour before going outside, giving the skin time to absorb it. It should be reapplied at least every two hours outdoors, and immediately after swimming or heavy sweating. At least one ounce (two tablespoons) is needed to cover the entire body surface.
Route of Administration: Topical
In Vitro Use Guide
To clarify the photoreactivity of Dioxybenzone, the ROS assay was undertaken with the use of Dioxybenzone at 200 uM
