Alkali metals reduce benzophenone to the deeply blue colored radical anion, diphenylketyl: [15] M + Ph 2 CO → M + Ph 2 CO •−. Generally sodium is used as the alkali metal. Sodium-benzophenone ketyl is used in the purification of organic solvents, particularly ethers, because it reacts with water and oxygen to give non-volatile products.
This substance can leach from food packaging, and is widely used as photo-initiators to activate a chemical that dries ink faster. [14] Despite its photoprotective qualities, much controversy surrounds oxybenzone because of possible negative hormonal and photoallergenic effects, leading many countries to regulate use in sunscreen products.

It and its derivatives are found in cosmetics, plastics, films, adhesives and coatings, optical fiber, and printed circuit boards. It is the precursor to certain polycarbonate polymers. [ 2 ]
Castor oil and its derivatives are found in many cosmetics as it is "non-comedogenic" (does not exacerbate or contribute to acne). [3]Cerebrosides (cells from the nervous systems of cattle or swine) were once used in some high-end skin-care products to increase moisture retention and to create a smooth skin surface, [4] however the BSE controversy has put an end to this practice.
Avobenzone (trade names Parsol 1789, Milestab 1789, Eusolex 9020, Escalol 517, Neo Heliopan 357 and others, INCI Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane) is an organic molecule and an oil-soluble ingredient used in sunscreen products to absorb the full spectrum of UVA rays.
Benzophenone, the base structure of these sunscreening agents Benzphenone-1 – benzophenone-12 ( BP-1 –BP-12 ) are UV A/UVB absorbers. Some of them are used in sunscreens .
Sulisobenzone (benzophenone-4) is an ingredient in some sunscreens which protects the skin from damage by UVB and UVA ultraviolet light. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Its sodium salt, sulisobenzone sodium , is also referred to as benzophenone-5 .
