Phenylbenzimidazole Sulfonic Acid

• Phenylbenzimidazole Sulfonic Acid is also known under the names Ensulizole.
• It is a type of UVB sunscreen that also absorbs a small fraction of UVA wavelengths, a water-soluble chemical sunscreen.
• Its protection and quality from sunlight does not decrease over time, so it can somewhat mitigate the breakdown of other UVB isolators in sunscreen.
• Phenylbenzimidazole Sulfonic Acid also can convert ingested ultraviolet radiation into less harmful infrared radiation and heat.
• The texture is clean and not greasy.

Phenylbenzimidazole sulfonic acid is often used as a common active ingredient in all sunscreen products. It is very effective when it comes to protecting the skin from the harmful effects of the sun’s UVB rays. In case of UVA protection, it should be kept in mind that the compound is not that efficient as a shield.
To make sure that Phenylbenzimidazole sulfonic acid has the capability to protect an individual from both the UVA and UVB rays of the sun, it needs to be paired with titanium dioxide, avobenzone or a similar compound like zinc oxide.

Ensulizole is soluble in water which means that cosmetic products that have the compound as an active ingredient feels light to the skin post application. When used in the manufacturing of lotions, sunscreens and moisturizers, it is often seen that patrons prefer products containing Phenylbenzimidazole sulfonic acid due to its non-greasy and light finish.

In short, it is one of the best protective compounds for human skin against UV radiation.
