Benzophenone-3, also known as Oxybenzone, is a chemical compound commonly used in cosmetics and personal care products as an effective sunscreen agent. Its primary function is to protect the skin from harmful UV radiation by providing broad-spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB rays. This is achieved through its ability to absorb UV light and convert it into heat energy, thereby reducing the amount of radiation that penetrates the skin.
