Talk:Avobenzone

Untitled
I'm sure Wikipedia has a formal method of presenting chemicals, with formulas, etc. but I don't know it right now. Page needs some cleaning up. Carax 05:15, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

Stability issues
Unfortunately, Paula Begoun is not a good source when it comes to avobenzone as she refuses to aknowledge the photo(in)stability issues. Will add sources and do a writeup as soon as I finish the Tinosorb article. -- Emp² 19:40, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

What about all the research that shows that Avobenzone is stable? I have only seen a few original studies that suggest Avobenzone isn't stable, and dozens of studies that suggest it is. 203.214.84.81 07:31, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

the part about the titanium dioxide and avobenzone combination is wrong, i have a thing of banana boat spf 50 in front of me that has avobenzone 1% and titanium dioxide listed in the ingredients.


 * I agree that avobenzone and titaium dioxide are ued in combination. i will remove this from the article.

should mention of helioplex be made here? EBMdoc (talk) 01:02, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

removal of stains cause by avobenzone on white vinyl?
Have an issue with staining from suntan lotion (particularly the chemical avobenzone) on white vinyl on my boat. Have not come across any article that would help in removal of these. Does anyone know or know of a source to help in this case?

Patent & approval issues
In the Safety section, it is claimed that avobenzone "is still the only FDA approved UVA filter (up to 3% concentration.[8]" However, the reference denoted by [8] is this article, which contradicts the claim when going over a list of the FDA's currently approved sunscreens: "The UV-A filters are avobenzone and zinc oxide, which is also a good UV-B filter."

Also, in the History section, there are several uncited patent and approval dates: "Avobenzone was patented in 1973 and was approved in the EU in 1978. It was approved by the FDA in 1988." Thus, I believe this page needs to be edited to fix the false claim that avobenzone is the only FDA approved UVA filter and add sources to the patent and approval dates. I'm new to Wikipedia, so I'm hesitant to make these changes independently, but I'd be happy to learn how or at least prompt someone else to do so. YunoAlexia2001 (talk) 22:18, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
