Avobenzone (butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane) is a broad-spectrum organic UV filter that absorbs UVA radiation, helping protect skin from photoaging and UV-induced damage. It is photo-unstable and is typically combined with stabilizing filters such as octocrylene.
Oat extract (derived from Avena sativa) is used in topical formulations for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and skin-barrier-supporting properties, largely attributed to compounds such as avenanthramides and beta-glucan. It is commonly included to calm irritation, reduce itching, and improve skin hydration.
