Octocrylene Market Segment Analysis - By Application
The personal care product application held the largest share in the octocrylene market in 2019 and is growing at a CAGR of 5.9%, owing to the increasing use of octocrylene in the personal care industry for making BB cream, CC cream, hair spray, conditioner, and tannin oilOctocrylene is used in cosmetics and personal care products to formulate sun protection products, as well as skin and nail care products. In addition to causing sunburn, UV radiation is a significant cause of premature aging of the skin and contributes to the development of melanoma and other forms of skin cancer. Theoretically, by trapping the product above the stratum corneum (SC) to prevent penetration into the skin, nanoencapsulation can reduce contact between the sunscreen and the skin surface, thereby limiting photoallergic contact reactions. And octocrylene, when applied to the skin, absorbs UV rays. By absorbing UV rays, octocrylene can also be used to protect cosmetics and personal care products from deterioration. All these factors are driving the octocrylene market growth during the forecast period.

Octocrylene Market Challenges
Health Risks From Octocrylene
All non-mineral sunscreen ingredients such as octocrylene are readily absorbed through the skin and could be detected in the bodies at levels that could cause harm. When octocrylene chemical is exposed to UV light, it absorbs the rays and produces oxygen radicals that can damage cells and cause mutations. It is readily absorbed by the skin and may accumulate within the body in measurable amounts. Upon illumination, the compound induces the production of free radicals. Free radicals are inducers of DNA damage and can lead to cancer. In addition, octocrylene can be toxic to the environment. These health risks attached to octocrylene may restrain its market growth during the forecast period.
