3‐(3,4,5‐Trimethoxybenzylidene)‐2,4‐pentanedione: Design of a Novel Photostabilizer with In‐vivo SPF Boosting Properties and Its Use in Developing Broad‐spectrum Sunscreen Formulations

ConclusionWe were able to design a very effective photostabilizer, trimethoxybenzylidene pentanedione (INCI name), based on benzylidenepentanedione chemistry. TMBP is very efficient in stabilizing avobenzone in formulated products, boosts in‐vivo SPF by >50% for organic and inorganic sunscreens and the formulations have critical wavelengths of >370 nm. These efficacious properties make it a promising additive for inclusion in broad‐spectrum photoprotective products.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
