This report studies the Octyl Methoxycinnamate market, Octyl Methoxycinnamate, trade names Eusolex 2292 and Uvinul MC80, is an organic compound that is an ingredient in some sunscreens and lip balms. It is an ester formed from methoxycinnamic acid and (RS)-2-ethylhexanol. It is a clear liquid that is insoluble in water.
The chemical is an organic compound formed from methoxycinnamic acid and 2-ethylhexanol. When mixed together, they form a clear liquid. It can absorb UV-B rays from the sun but does not protect against UV-A rays. Both types of rays are dangerous to humans, and other ingredients may be included in sunblocks and lip balms to offer full protection.
Safety concerns over octyl methoxycinnamate arise from the possibility that the chemical may break down and absorb into the user's skin when it comes into contact with sunlight. Chemical reactions that occur then happen underneath the protective barrier a person's skin provides and may be absorbed into the body. This may lead to temporary problems such as skin irritation or long-term problems such as increasing the user's risk of developing cancer and causing the skin to age more quickly.
Though tests have been performed, no conclusive evidence has been found and it is uncertain what the exact effects of octyl methoxycinnamate are. More research is needed to determine whether or not the chemical poses a risk when used in products applied to the skin. Until then, users can try other methods to protect themselves against the sun and check the ingredients in the sunscreens and lip balms they use.
