Description and Uses

Homosalate is an organic compound that belongs to a class of chemicals called salicylates. Salicylates prevent direct skin exposure to the sun’s harmful rays by absorbing ultraviolet (UV) light. Homosalate specifically absorbs short-wave UVB rays, associated with DNA damage and an increased risk of skin cancer. It is a widely used chemical in sunscreens and skin care products with SPF. However, Homosalate is a potential endocrine disruptor and studies in cells suggest it may impact hormones. In addition to direct health concerns following homosalate exposure, the chemical may also enhance the absorption of pesticides in the body.

homosalate is a chemical uVB absorber included in the FDA’s Category I Sunscreen Chemical list. Its approved usage level is 4 to 15 percent by the FDA and 10 percent by the european union’s Cosmetic Directive.
