Benzophenone - 4 (Sulisobenzone)

Benzophenone 4 is a photo stabilizer and sunscreen agent used for its ability to absorb UV rays. It helps prevent the integrity of other cosmetic ingredients from deteriorating under the sun. Though it covers UVB and short UVA (UVA-2) range rays, it's an inadequate sunscreen agent when used alone. For this reason, it is often used in conjunction with other sun protecting ingredients. It is used in a variety of personal care products like sunscreen, nail polish,lotion/cream and lipstick.
