BENZOTRIAZOLE UV ABSORBER

BENZOTRIAZOLE UV ABSORBER

Benzotriazole UV absorber is a polyol ester formed by the esterification of pentaerythritol with stearic acid, serving as an effective emulsifier and surfactant in cosmetic formulations.

Known for its non-waxy, caring skin feel, Benzotriazole UV absorber is commonly used as a replacement for waxes or fatty alcohols in products to improve texture without causing whiteness on the skin.

With usage levels ranging from 1% to 5% in cosmetics, Benzotriazole UV absorber is valued for its ability to enhance viscosity and stability in oil-in-water emulsions, while also providing moisture retention and a smooth finish.

Benzotriazole UV absorber is a consistency wax with additional sensorial benefit.

Benzotriazole UV absorber helps create a texture (texturizer) that gives it a viscous consistency. 

with any formula that contains oil as an ingredient Gives a good texture to the skin.

Benzotriazole UV absorber is popularly used in place of Wax or Fatty Alcohol (such as Cetearyl Alcohol, Cetyl Alcohol, Stearyl Alcohol) of any kind because Benzotriazole UV absorber gives a better texture.

And does not cause whiteness on the skin when applied.

Benzotriazole UV absorber is a chemical compound formed by the esterification (reaction of an acid with an alcohol) of pentaerythritol with stearic acid, a long-chain fatty acid.

Benzotriazole UV absorber is used as an emulsifier and softener in skin care products.

Thanks to its emollient properties, Benzotriazole UV absorber helps prevent water loss and softens the skin, giving it a healthy, moist appearance.

Benzotriazole UV absorber is best used as part of a complete skin care regimen that includes other ingredients that nourish and repair the skin.

In Benzotriazole UV absorber’s raw form, this emulsifier is a white wax-like substance.

The level of use of Benzotriazole UV absorber in cosmetics varies between 1% and 5%.

Benzotriazole UV absorber, a polyol ester, functions as a versatile compound with surfactant properties.

Being a non-ionic surfactant, Benzotriazole UV absorber serves as an effective emulsifier, surfactant, and humectant.

Benzotriazole UV absorber’s surfactant characteristic facilitates the reduction of surface tension in liquids, promoting enhanced mixing capabilities.

Acting as an emulsifier, Benzotriazole UV absorber aids in preventing the separation of two immiscible liquids, such as oil and water.

Additionally, as a humectant, Benzotriazole UV absorber plays a vital role in retaining moisture within a formulation.

Benzotriazole UV absorber builds up good viscosity and stability of o/w emulsion with different emulsifier systems (ionic/non-ionic), while at the same time creating a non-waxy and caring skin feel.

Benzotriazole UV absorber comes in off-white, wax-like pellets with a little intrinsic odor, and a consistency wax with sensorial properties.

Benzotriazole UV absorber is ideally used for body care, face care, sensitive skin, and baby care applications.

Benzotriazole UV absorber is contains pentaerythritol (2,2-bis(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-propanediol) as alcoholic component in esters or condensed with other (poly-) alcohols or sugars.

Benzotriazole UV absorber is salts or di-esters of stearic acid (octadecanoic acid).

Pentaerythrityl distearate is a chemical compound formed through the esterification (reacting an acid with an alcohol) of pentaerythritol with stearic acid, a long-chain fatty acid.

In skin care preparations, Benzotriazole UV absorber serves as a formula emulsifier and emollient.

Due to its emollient nature, pentaerythrityl distearate helps prevent water loss and softens skin, allowing it to maintain a healthy, hydrated look.

Pentaerythrityl distearate is best used as a part of a well-rounded skin care routine that contains other skin-replenishing and skin-restoring ingredients.

In Benzotriazole UV absorber’s raw material form, this emulsifying agent is an off-white wax-like substance.

Uses of Benzotriazole UV Absorber:

Benzotriazole UV absorber is a white solid, natural plant source, can be used to replace wax raw materials, compared to MM (Myristyl myristate), CP (Cetyl palmitate) have a stronger thickening ability.

Chemical Structure of Benzotriazole UV Absorber:

A chemical structure of a molecule includes the arrangement of atoms and the chemical bonds that hold the atoms together.

The Pentaerythrityl distearate molecule contains a total of 126 bond(s).

There are 46 non-H bond(s), 2 multiple bond(s), 40 rotatable bond(s), 2 double bond(s), 2 ester(s) (aliphatic), 2 hydroxyl group(s), and 2 primary alcohol(s).

The 2D chemical structure image of Pentaerythrityl distearate is also called skeletal formula, which is the standard notation for organic molecules.

The carbon atoms in the chemical structure of Pentaerythrityl distearate are implied to be located at the corner(s) and hydrogen atoms attached to carbon atoms are not indicated – each carbon atom is considered to be associated with enough hydrogen atoms to provide the carbon atom with four bonds.

The 3D chemical structure image of Pentaerythrityl distearate is based on the ball-and-stick model which displays both the three-dimensional position of the atoms and the bonds between them.

The radius of the spheres is therefore smaller than the rod lengths in order to provide a clearer view of the atoms and bonds throughout the chemical structure model of Pentaerythrityl distearate.
